The hiring of Will Hall

Second dumbest move they ever made.

Dumbest was hiring nepo baby Scelfo.

UL promoting Desormeaux was also a lazy hire though he hasnt done a terrible job

At least they have a ceiling. If the coach is one of them and can produce winning seasons on a regular basis they should be happy.

Bowden, Fritz, and Sumrall showed what's possible at Tulane. Unfortunately they have an administration that's allergic to success.

They have to fire him. It's ridiculous how much worse they look now.

The dude fell on his face in the Sun Belt. He had a much worse record than the guy before and the guy after.

Only reason hiring Scelfo was dumber is because they had a clearly better coach on staff. Someone other than Hall would have been a roll of the dice on an FCS/CUSA coach.

Awful. Terrible. Clean house ASAP.

Even worse, Hall took back playcalling duties after the Charlotte game. It's resulted in getting outgained by 400+ yards.

Tulane is losing 60-3 to freaking Tulsa at home. Hall better be fired after this game.

Baker turned them down and they panicked.

This. They need to be actively looking for a new coach and tell Hall they are moving on from him after the season. Kind of like with Ed O. You cannot recruit with a coach who has a neon sign above his head that screams “dead man walking.”

I don’t think Buddy Teevins or Bob Toledo were close to getting beat by over 50 points to teams like Tulsa.

it makes no sense at all. Tulane was looking good under Fritz and Sumrall and had a chance to keep that momentum up with a decent hire and they go out and get the coach of Southern Miss who went 4-15 his last 2 years coaching there.

His wins his last 2 years at USM:
Alcorn State
Southeastern LA
ULM
ULL

that's it

Statement from David Harris, Tulane’s Director of Athletics Chair

Today's performance by our football program was unacceptable, and far below the standard that we have come to expect in recent years. I understand the frustration and disappointment that our supporters feel. I am embarrassed by what transpired on the field in front of our student-athletes' families, alumni, fans and the entire Tulane community. While any loss is difficult to accept, today's defeat was particularly alarming given the point differential. Our play was not representative of the work, discipline and sacrifice made by those who established the standard we expect from Tulane Football.

Earlier this week, I relayed through a podcast interview that this season has not met the expectations of our department. With at least three games remaining in our season, our responsibility is to respond with urgency. Our student-athletes and staff have owned what happened, will evaluate it thoroughly and show meaningful improvement in the work ahead.

I am accountable for Tulane Athletics and the performance of our teams. I accept that responsibility and take it very seriously. We will continue to make an investment in our football program that matches the expectations we have for its success. Our team is focused on preparing for its next opportunity against Rice and a strong finish to the season.
