Link: Frank Wilson a candidate for Tulane job?

Probably gone if he gets the offer, which he should if TU has any sense.

No!

Recruiting Tulane material type players might get fustrating.

I think it's the opposite. How much does a lower tier Conf USA HC make per year? LSU should match. Frank has way too much value on the trail..

I think Bob Toledo was making around 600k. What does Wilson make now? 300k? I seriously doubt LSU would double his salary to keep him here.

I understand him wanting to look at it from a financial position, but he will be screwing up his head coaching chances for a while if he goes there.

I guess on the other hand, he can go collect that fat check for three or four years then go back to a big program if he wants to. The big schools will always have a spot for him because of his recruiting skills.

Frank Wilson's recruting talent would be totally wasted at Toolame, since they admit athletes using the same standards as admitting most any other student.

They ignore the NCAA minimums for what they call the "Tulane Model," which is just an excuse for losing.

Wilson might know the NOLA area like an alleycat knows a trash can, but that will do him no good, since most of the NOLA area talent can't qualify to get into Tulane and the school will not make allowances.

As much of a train wreck as Tulane football is, leaving LSU even as a lower-tier assistant for the HC job at Tulane would be a lateral move at best--and it probably would be a step down.

Also, uptown-NOLA-old-money racism is a bit more subtle and stealthy than Livingston-Parish-white-trash-trailer-park racism, but it is there nonetheless and already manifesting itself.

As someone said on another thread, the Galatoires-uptown-aristocrats at Tulane would never stand for a black HC.
