We're getting pretty close to Arkansas State level but if they've shown us anything, you can still be really successful! Let's just hope we mimic the Wolves.

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery...

Part of our success was our players. Freeze really had an impact that lasted beyond his year. He focused on leadership and brotherhood and that team really...really bonded. What Freeze put together, no other coach could tear down.

Our guys were self-motivating and self-supporting whether they had a coaching staff or not.

Mohajir is also a player's AD. He was a player during some really crappy times and he made sure to be present with the players and give hands-on support when things seemed out of their hands.

Other than taking the job at GaSo it really looks like Willie likes 2 things as a football head coach...
1) More money
2) a challenge

He'll do well at Tulane...That might not mean an AAC championship...but I think he'll do well.

He will have to overcome one thing though...not every player he wants on that team (recruits) will be allowed into a school of that high academic standard.

Good for Fritz, he gets to make three times the $$$ for half the wins.

He couldn't win the big games at SHSU or GS, if I'm a GS fan I'm not too upset about this.

I honestly think that Fritz was told at least a week ago that the job was his if he wanted it. Complain about me "making excuses" if you want, but from things I've been hearing and from watching us play last Saturday it's obvious our focus hasn't been all there.

Hopefully we can now get our focus on our bowl game.

1) Will he coach the bowl game
2) Will assistants be spending more time packing than coaching

These are issues we know well.

According to my twitter daring to question why a coach would go there, yall are in bigggg trouble. Not winning consistently since the 50's was all about the last AD....Good luck Memphis.

Honestly I'm not mad. This year was feast or famine. Hopefully Ruse will head to Tulane with him. I just hope we can keep coach Curtis, McGee, and Lunsford.

Understatement of the year. Probably a better coach than the last three but boy howdy long term short term any way you wan to look at it that is a dumpster fire of a program and has been for the better part of half a century.

I guess not winning championships will fly at Tulane? If so nice gig.

Congratulations to Coach Fritz. He moves to the best G5 conference, a new stadium, a major sports city, and his Louisiana-Texas recruiting sweet spot.

Tulane is sort of like Army in that being Bowl eligible is having a great season. Yes of course they want to win championships but 6-6 and off to a Bowl will do.

Curse of the Go Daddy Bowl strikes again. You play in that game, you're looking for a new coach.

Totally forgot.. BG is without their coach as well....

How many extra point a game you get for all that? Also TX is sure a sweet spot split up by 12 instate FBS programs. LA is average with five FBS schools and has about a about half at best of the talent GA has. Good luck Fritz you are going to need it.

Wut is that an attempt at humor?

I'm surprisingly ok with him leaving. He'll do fine at Tulane, we'll do fine without him. I'm actually happy for him.
