Tulane just hired a triple option coach. Smart move in my opinion. Can't do it here, of course, because most locals think run-oriented offenses are "boring". http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball...tulane-job

It take years sometimes to master the triple option, Navy caught us slipping because we didnt prepare better for it because we haven't had to defend against it in year

well, that and our coach was already working on a new gig

If we had a dynamic running back, the offense we ran with Fuente is perfect for someone to gain tons of yard, like DeAngelo did in the spread with Fichtner

That's what Auburn does in Malzahn's offense.

Our running backs just weren't healthy all year.

With Navy and Tulane running the triple option, I think that will help teams who have to play both, figure out how to slow it down.

He could not afford to go undefeated and and possibly a candidate for the playoff. He would have been locked into this deal until at least Jan 2nd.

In 4 years Tulane will be looking for a new coach

This is sarcasm, right? Sometimes it's hard to tell around here.

I thought they were on the 3 year cycle.

The 70's called and they want you back.

The triple-option is very dependent on having a good quarterback to run it. Once teams in the conference have played against it a time or two they can better defend it. Besides it's not guaranteed that Fritz will run the triple option at Tulane.

All the more reason to allot more time to defending that offense. A non-special Army team came really close to beating Navy this season. I suspect Army has allotted that time ---

This kid will be tougher to beat in the future too...

Patience, he could be a nice guy

Tulane's new HC said he was not committed to the triple option. That's a Georgia Southern thing.

Also, Tulane installing a triple option offense wouldn't be the wisest move when you're in the same division with a prominent opponent that does it better. Teams in the American will get used (wrong word maybe, but adapt for sure) to Navy every season and they'll hawk down on Tulane being Navy-lite.

Navy loses their quarterback and a bunch of other guys. This year their seniors accounted for 2964 of their 3830 rushing yards and 41 of their 48 touchdowns. I expect them to have a down year particularly since they are also replacing their quarterback.

That's fair, but I don't expect Navy to sniff a losing season unless they also lose their coach.

Regardless, Navy is still light years ahead of Tulane on the program level.

Army's coach is Jeff Monken, who was also previously at Georgia Southern.

Gee, I'll bet it would have gone exactly as it did.

Yep, he would have just been that much more ballyhooed at Va Tech, and worth every word of it.

I think we would have been happy too.

Wait... so, what y'all are saying is, IF we had gone undefeated, and IF Ole Miss had won out, and IF there was enough chaos in the other P5s, and we had an outside chance at one of the 4 spots as long as we beat a ranked Temple in the title game, you guys think Fuente would have accepted the job at VT the day after the final regular season game? "...it would have gone exactly as it did."?

I don't think so.

And, no, Johnny Betts, it was not sarcasm.

Yes, EXACTLY as it did. I don't think he would passed on VT to coach in any game. He is a stand up guy.
