If his current K is structured like Monkens he will get a automatic raise based on this year. If tulane is paying 1.2 mill for a coach with the product it has put on the field in my lifetime i can see why there are constant stories in the nola media about the financial mess at tulane.
There is much to be said for a man to raise his family in an area where he can go to his local Dairy Queen or any other food establishment and not be worried about getting shot in the parking lot due to the area's high crime rate. Much to be said for being able to know your wife and family are safe when you have to be on the road recruiting. Also its nice not to have to drive 40 miles to from your house to your office just to have a nice safe place to live.
Being located in one of the nastiest cities known to mankind is only one of the many things that makes the tulane job unattractive.
UCF just hired an ASSISTANT coach. All i see in these delusional threads is head coach after head coach's name thrown about. I will bet you anything you want that what Jayess says is correct. Now that ucf has a unproven coach. Memphis and tulane will follow suit with someone taking their FIRST head coaching job. No one with a established job will leave for a job as bad as the tulane one is.
Ive seen a good example of that play out in real life already. In the 90's i had a neighbor named Rodney allison who came to Southern Miss with Curley Hallman. Rodney left southern miss for Auburn as rb coach. His best friend Tommy Bowden tried to get him to follow to Tulane as OC. HE declined because of the risk of working at Tulane AND the enviroment his kids would be in. He did later follow Tommy to Clemson.
Tulane has for the last 50 years been a dead end and will continue to be no matter how many times they "make a commitment to athletics".
Endless ignorance in this post. Oh internet, how i love and hate u at the same time
Besides getting shot at leaving class here is the biggest reason to avoid new orleans http://www.nola.com/health/index.ssf/201...st_ra.html
Wait, someone from MISSISSIPPI is going to start throwing stones about people being fat and lazy? You do realize that the unofficial catchphrase of Louisiana when any statewide rankings come out is "well at least we're not Mississippi." Some examples that came up with .02 seconds of Google searching:

Can you go away now?
Nahhh you guys have been on the cusa boards being asshats constantly.
Yes.many AAC fans post on the CUSA board. Most troll the CUSA board. I have nothing against CUSA and comment on there myself. I get nastalgic for S Miss from time to time. CUSA pre big east raid of 2005 was a damn fine conference in football and basketball and I'm proud ECU was a part of that. Cheers!

RE: Tulane coach fired
I didn't know sour grapes was Hattiesburg's main export.
Whole lot of going on here.
Sorry you got left in the dust by Tulane and the AAC. You can talk about why it was "unjust" or "not fair" all you want, but "thems the brakes." We got the call. You didn't. We have the money, the academics, the location, and can only go up from here. You don't.
All the rest is smoke, noise, and jealously. ULL, USM, its all the same. You just aren't on the same level as a system flagship or a AAU private, and never will be-- no matter how much you win. For the Tulanes, Rices, Wake Forests, Purdues and Northwesterns of the world, GT, Duke, USC, and Standford type results are their ceiling, when the right pieces are in play. When a directional school starts to show up or threaten the flagship school of their system, politics and the powers that be will step in to put your in your place.
