The team was fresh off an SEC win and went to the national title game the year before. All the players that Jeff Monken had been recruiting fit in Fritz's play style like a glove. That's why he was instantly successful here.

It's not the case at Tulane where he's having to do a major rebuilding job and it won't happen quickly without easy access to talent. I do believe that eventually they will be successful, but I haven't seen anything that would make me say they are a team "on the rise." More like a team trying their best.

Fritz is a good coach and given time they will be consistently good at Tulane. This year's recruiting class is finally in the top half of the AAC but he will probably need a couple more like that to overcome years of neglect there.
