Tulane apparently announces new HC on Friday. I think the hire was made yesterday. The only rumor I’ve seen is the hire is currently a HC. They may have interviewed Air Force’s coach. Spacebump fucked around with this message at 22:56 on Dec 5, 2023 |

wonder if tulane would hire jeff monken; he's desperate to get out of the service academies and he's willing to tweak the flexbone to look like a 21st century offense brennan marion would also be a smart choice

Declan MacManus posted:wonder if tulane would hire jeff monken; he's desperate to get out of the service academies and he's willing to tweak the flexbone to look like a 21st century offense They allegedly interviewed Monken, Troy Calhoun, Jon Sumrall, and Alex Atkins. Calhoun’s son works for TCU, until recently his Twitter account only followed TCU or Air Force accounts. He started following a few Tulane accounts this week. About a day later, Tulane started giving out offers. I suspect they hired or are about to hire Calhoun. Spacebump fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Dec 7, 2023 |

He failed at Miami. Lots of coaches have failed at Miami in the last decade. Sonny Dykes failed at Cal, but managed to take TCU to the national championship. Crazier things have happened.

I guess where I'm coming from is that if his Miami tenure was a failure, it's the sort of failure Duke should be eagerly signing up to repeat.

I don't know if I'd say "well, he accumulated this record at Miami, so it's realistic that he matches or succeeds that at Duke in the same conference." That said, maybe he's learned something, maybe the cultural fit is better, who knows. Seems like neither a slam dunk hire nor a "slam your head against the wall" hire.

Also while 21-15 (16-9 ACC) and bowl eligible 3x may be failing at Miami, I don't think Duke would evaluate that the same way.

Penn State fans all knew Diaz wanted another HC job and we figured he'd have one in two years. It's just disappointing the day we knew would come actually came. I would be surprised if Franklin went outside the program and elevated Anthony Poindexter to DC.

His stint at Miami looks better after two years of Mario Cristobal in a weaker ACC produced the same results. Feels like Duke is trying to too closely mirror what we did with Elko but on paper it seems like a great hire

Sumrall is who I personally hoped for if Stoops took the A&M job. He was a good player for UK back in the day at MLB, and we had some awesome defenses when he was DCoord here. I'm glad he's landing somewhere with a good recruiting base and some recent success. He's gonna be a coach to watch in the future. Hope he ends up back at UK someday.

It’s not the P5 but it’s not at all a lateral move.

Just for reference the endowment of Tulane is 2 billion and for Troy it's 200 million. Obviously that itself isn't the athletic department's to play with but it's a reflection of the wealth and influence of the alumni and (with a good program) the ability to leverage the boosters.
