Yep.. that is to be expected.

Fritz came in and posted a good class in less than 2 months in 2014. #2 in the conference per 247.

Not that concerned.

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

This was a question I had about him when he came. Good guy, good coach, and players like him, but I watched him blow some victories and lay a few incomprehensible eggs. Next.

If he lays a few eggs and wins 7-8 games he'll get a raise that pushes him near 2 million/year.

Tulane has a new administration (AD and president), but not even those guys are going to demand 10+ wins from Tulane right now. It's not very realistic.

Fritz has one job - make Tulane competitive in the AAC (.500 conference record or so). Fritz can do that.

One thing I am disappointed in will be the bowl game preparation. Lots of questions will be surfacing this evening and weekend.

As for the recruiting class, I'm not worried one bit. Kids did not give a verbal because of coach Fritz. They gave a verbal for Georgia Southern and the winning tradition.

Luckily our QB already signed his LOI and is on campus this spring. Good to have him apart of this class and will do very will in a Chadwell offense :)

As in he redshirted this past season? No class of 16 players can sign an NLI yet. Can sign a scholarship agreement, but that doesn't bind them to the school.

Enrolled early is my understanding.

So he enrolled in the fall? If it's early spring enroll, he's still fair game.

All GS recruits are fair game. As you said, no one is bound to a university until they sign an LOI (which can't happen until Wednesday for certain JC players or February for high school players) or they enroll, which wouldn't be until the spring semester that begins in January. If a player graduated an entire year early and enrolled they'd be on the roster and presumably redshirting.

This is true for everybody. The JUCO from out west is actually staying thought he would be the first to follow Fritz or decommit.

If he turns Tulane around in one or two years, I would be looking for the next head coach very soon. .

fritz wants a P5 job desperately. If and that is a big if Fritz turns Tulane around he will be there no longer than 3 years

^ and? having a coach hired away for winning games is a whole hell of a lot better than firing coaches for losing...

I'll never understand that line of thinking..."he'll get hired away!" good! that means he did REALLY well.

Drop a conference championship ring in our hand on the way out the door and its no hard feelings. That's sort of where A-State has gotten to.

To soon for our brains to accept this. That is the last stage of five bro!!!

Fritz jumped as this job coaches with similar success will as well. Going to my happy place holla!

You've got to win to get a P5 job. Not many people win at Tulane.

LOI can't be signed until Signing Day. If you're talking about the Finnacial Aid Agreement, that doesn't bind the player to the school but does bind the school to the player
