Damn, where’d all the chest-pounding greenies run off to?

Wow. They had a shot at Huff and went this route.

That was the same exact talking points and group think in Martin Hall that led to us promoting Dez to HC when Napier was leaving. Granted, at least Will Hall has been a D1 HC, and coordinator.
Apparently Hall just turned down the OC gig at Michigan State .

I just love Tulane and want them to do well
Not really my fault that Tulane doesn’t want to do well

Y'all seem to forget that this guy had one magical year and the rest of his career was a massive failure. He's Gene Chizik
Clearly, the 15-0 season was the outlier and Burrow was the main contributor to that along with Brady, Chase, JJ, etc.
He did finish 51-20 at LSU, so he wasn't a massive failure outside of the natty season while here. He was 3-1 in bowls and we finished ranked #6/7 the year before the NC. He also did well as USC's interim coach after they fired Lane. Ole Miss was the gigantic turd. Seems to be better suited as a D-line coach/coordinator.

O had 1 mediocre season in which he lost homecoming to Troy, then he had 1 very good season with Joe Burrow as QB, and one season for the ages with most of the same team with Burrow. Then, once he had to start hiring his own coordinators, he resorted to form.
We all know you worship O. I wish it had turned out that he was not what most thought he was when hired, but that did not happen. He's not an SEC-level coach, but he did have two seasons at LSU worth celebrating.
6-6

Before Hall was fired, he started the 2024 season 1-6 which included a 44–7 loss to Jacksonville State, and a 44–28 loss to Arkansas State. His only win was against an FCS school. USM was in the Sun Belt conference which is far weaker than the American.

Well at least ya'll hired a guy who IS desirable for coordinator or higher positions at other FBS programs....unlike what we did giving the job to a 2A Catholic High School coach.

I guess Ed O doesn't fit the Tulane culture. Yaw Yaw!

what about the rest of the Tulane staff? My kids are friends with some of theirs.

Also came out that Neal Brown wanted the job last year if Sumrall had gotten the North Carolina job.

Yikes. I hope Tulane fans enjoyed being relevant while it lasted. You'll be on ULL/LA Tech's level now.

Just seems like a lazy hire.
Posted on 12/8/25 at 1:25 pm to The Egg
Should've just hired napier or Shannon dawson.

While Napier did seem to have good recruiting connections down South, I think he knows it's going to be much easier to win in the Sun Belt with JMU's budget advantages over the vast majority of the conference than having to maintain such at Tulane vs. its AAC mates.

Recruiting seems to be moving into its own department and it’s not going to pay Ed what he thinks he should be paid.
you may be right. i also think he is only brought in IF frank leaves. who knows. guess we will see soon enough.

I understand the criticism but Will's HC experience was at USM which is easily among the least resourced schools in the country. That's why Huff was looking to get out immediately. He was able to have some success there early on but was unable to sustain it and I doubt Huff would have been able to either. Neither are bad coaches.
I can promise you that Will regrets taking that job in retrospect.
