It’s official.

Did Key agree to assistant HC BS?

41-45 at Tulane? Key has a better win % righting the cluster#$%@ Geoff left behind with a 3rd string QB.

It's harder to win at Tulane so I think you'd have to compare records on a curve. How well has Fritz done compared to previous Tulane coaches? I don't know the answer.

I would argue that winning in the ACC with no HC experience > winning at Tulane. Especially halfway into a season after "no contact in practice" Geoff.

I watched the Tulane/Cincy game and Tulane played with way more class and grit than Cincy. I thought that was what we wanted. No more Razzle Dazzle.

Is there confirmation this is done other than the Unnecessary Roughness post by someone?

 

[GEETEELEE]

This hire doesn’t excite me, but I’ll eagerly await the next few seasons and hope for the best. It’s possible we got a sleeper.

But all of the scenarios y’all are throwing out about how the hire came about is pure speculation and doesn’t help.

No, other reports are that they are finalizing the contract and still negotiating, not a done deal. Barstool is way out over the skis here trying to be first.

I think it is a brilliant move to float the Willie Fritz hire rumor out there before Chadwell, BOB, or Key get hired. Gives you some leverage to negotiate with your real target. Also makes the fans happy and relieved when it is anyone except Fritz.

If he's a sleeper, he needs to wake up immediately with retirement around the corner.

O'Leary was only 4 years younger when he started at UCF, and he had a great 11-year stint there...

Biden got the job when he was what, 16 years older, and older than O'Leary when he retired. Big difference

This guy looks old for just 62. I’d be shocked if he lasts 5

God, I hope that is what is happening.......

Heh. That would be hilarious, if true.

I’m with Fritz!

FWIW, here's the Footbalscoop take: https://footballscoop.com/news/sources-georgia-tech-coaching-search-meeting-tulanes-willie-fritz

I watched the Tulane/Cincy game as well and was very impressed w/ Tulane's offense. Smart and effective. I think it would be a good hire, especially if we can retain some of our existing staff (Key, Thacker). We'll see.

 

[BuzzFeitenSystem]

41-45 at Tulane!!!

 

[jts1207]

Welp

I knew we didn’t have the balls or the money to land Chadwell. Man we really have fallen off a cliff @ Georgia Tech. Unreal.
