Meachum to Tulane

[jerandlaur]

Reports are that Meachum has agreed to a three deal with Tulane to get their head coach. Other than Tulane being in a better conference I don't know why he would go there instead of UNT.

Tulane has more to offer and is in New Orleans as opposed to Denton.

I'd rather live in Denton than New Orleans. Tulane is a better academic school and is in a better conference though.

Definitely New Orleans. I wonder if Pat Jones approved this.

Denton is a really fun town.

UNT would be a much faster springboard, IMO.

Yeah I guess Pat Jones thinks Tulane is a better job than Tulsa.

That or he just likes swamp folk more.

Tulane has a better location to recruit players. He can recruit from the two of the top recruiting states in college football Texas and Florida. His base recruits will be New Orleans but you have Houston and Florida a short drive away. Its a smart move and any success will improve his chances to go to a larger school.

Let's be honest. North Texas sucks. Tulane sucks. You're an idiot for taking either job. There. I feel better now.

Tulane can at least say they went 12-0 one year and declared themselves a co-national champ. UNT's claim to fame is it was the mythical location for Necessary Roughness which was a pretty awful movie.

Um, ESPN is reporting that Tulane just hired Willie Fritz from Ga. Southern as its head coach...

Wow. Meachum bamboozles two schools. Glad we didn't hire him.

People have been hired and fired with that logic for decades.

 

[Rjjackson4]

He may as well be next

Did he bamboozle Sonny Cumby into thinking all he had to do was stick around TCU and he would get full reigns of the offense...

Did Cumby turn down Texas for this very reason....

Did Meachum schtick it to him, kapow???

Come back next week, same bat channel, same bat time...

 

[TUBballJunkie]

Why would anyone go to Texas right now??

 

[Gmoney4WW]

I'm guessing for a quickie...
