TULANE!

I actually have been since I saw his teams at Ga Southern particularly when they played us. Have thought he was a great coach and a possible good hire. He was on my list as a possible for new coach. I'm pulling for Key but so GT - reach a preliminary deal with a coach and get so cheap he doesn't come then he beats USC with a non-power 5 team. CLASSIC!!!!!!! oh well, his age is of concern.

Had we hired Fritz, I think he would have been GT's oldest head coach when he started his first season (2023). Has GT ever had a 63 year old head football coach?
 
I went to Tech for undergrad before Tulane for med school and residency. I never thought Tulane would do anything of consequence in football ever! It's amazing how winning football has the potential to bring people together... there were a really good number of Tulane fans at the Cotton Bowl! I assure you, when I went to Tulane games, both in the superdome, and after Yulman opened, the crowds made Tech's crowds this year look like packed houses.
 
Wish we'd landed him. Too bad we're broke

Bad night for this quote:
"I might have had a heart attack," Tulane coach Willie Fritz said on the field moments after the contest concluded.
 
If we would have fired Fritz 5 years ago it could have saved us a lot of heartache and image where we could be right now. Last year a hurricane and Chip Long are the reason they were 2-10. Fritz is an amazing coach and being successful with the players he has. He plays to his players strengths and changes as he needs to for them to be successful. He's not stuck in his ways like some coaches. (Jimbo cough cough) He would have been an amazing fit 5 years ago. He helped Georgia Southern transition from the 3O with imitate success. I'm happy with Key but still thinking of what could have been.

Congrats to The Green Wave.
epic collapse by usc. If they make Tulane take more than 30 seconds to score up 15, they win. If they catch the kickoff, they at least go to OT, probably win. If they get a yard instead of losing 1 and taking a safety they at least go to OT.

He wasn't on my radar until he was on Tech's radar. I became very impressed after studying up. He has done a lot with very little. I would have been very happy if Tech had hired him. That said, I think we've got the right guy, at the right time, in the right situation.

But I've become a fan of him and Tulane and see no reason to not root for them if Tech isn't the opponent.

That's a lot of ifs for a supposed mismatch of talent with a shiny new young coach!

He was the extremely logical choice to follow CPJ as our coach to transition us out of the option, great move Stansbury!

Tulane and Fritz are extremely easy to root for and I'm glad they won, and hope they keep being successful. That doesn't mean that a Georgia Tech program on life support and Fritz are a good fit.

Very well might have been a really good fit....for 4 years. Anyway, we did the right thing with CBK. Neither statement takes away anything for Fritz or Key, imo.

Given where we were as the season played out, I agree that Key was the best choice. However, had we hired Fritz in late 2018 it would have been possibly the best hire we could have made. However, he had just brought the Greenies back from the dead and no one could know what he was about to do. At that time he was a career lower-level coach with a string of success at those places.

Sorry, I'm just a Willie Fritz and a Green Wave fan. Big respect for what they have done this year. Happy for them and their program. They've been through a lot and it's nice to see that underdog program turning it around. What a game!

GO GREEN WAVE!!!
GO JACKETS!!!!
