Tulane's #1 Choice Is Dawson

[Tinman64]

Is Dorsey a real option? His track record is okay, right?

 

[TemplarCane]

Dan Mullen

 

[Notsince1985]

This is categorically false. He's someone they're looking at, but by no means is #1.

Sherrone Banfield Moore

Why would JT go to the NFL? Unless it’s the dolphins. I think he wants to live in south Florida.

 

[Notsince1985]

Pretty sure they prefer him, but since they are used to good offense...they will kick the tires on Dawson first.

Baker played linebacker at Tulane. He'll be considered but Tulane wants a sitting coach, not a coordinator / first time HC.

 

[AUcane]

He can do better with another good season

I don’t think he can. He is what he is. He’s a 50 year old coordinator. I think Tulane is his ceiling and honestly, it’s a pretty nice landing spot.

It’s always funny to me that as fans of any program, we separate the good ****, from the bad ****, when it comes to the new guy we want to hire. . It be like, “Man that Dawson guy got Miami’s offense humming..
“**** yeah, guy can scheme up some ****.”
“There was one 4 game stretch where he didn’t average but like 21ppg, though”
“yeah, that was Mario sticking his nose in the offensive play calling again.”
“Yeah u probably right. The last 4 weeks was definitely all Dawson, though.”

This always made me laugh because if people would of done their homework on Dawson and his time at Houston they'd know it wasnt Mario sticking his nose in the playcalling

Blake Baker and Ed Orgeron would be good choices due to Louisiana natives.

Orgeron's son is currently on Tulane's staff. That's why he's always at Tulane games (usually standing next to the cheerleaders).

Lol boy... some of y'all act like good OCs grow on trees. Him leaving would hurt us more than help because y'all know how long the process takes for Mario to hire his coaches. Probably would lose out on any top transfer QBs

I'm sure plently of people at Tulane want Dawson, but it should be noted that they have more money to pay a head coach than they ever have. They can swing a little bit here

Tulane was paying Sumrall over $3 million. They offered him over $4.5 million to turn Florida down. I highly doubt they'd pay Dawson or any coordinator that much (which is why they're looking HC not coordinator).

 

[MedleyCane]

I would bet you a thousand $ to a stale Krispy Kreme donut Mario already has 1 or 2 guys ready to make an offer to right now........

I would say Tim Cramsey who worked for him at FIU and under Silverfeld at Memphis, but I suspect he will follow his HC to Arkansas.

 

[PennsylvaniaCane]

Sherrone Banfield Moore

Mario would be all about it.

 

[JamesQuall]

Guys in here criticizing Gundy but…..
Mike Gundy's Oklahoma State offense has had varied rankings year-by-year, but has frequently been among the nation's best, with the
team ranking in the top 10 in scoring offense six times and total offense seven times during his tenure.

yea terrible hire without Miami level recruits

Depends on who you bring in. Bring in a Gattis type offense and yeah it’s gonna be hard to sell. Bring in a guy from a hot offense and it will sell itself. Just needs to be done quickly so we’re not into January waiting on a QB. I’d go after the OC from North Texas.

Would also add they run a similar power air raid system just with more of a spread look and tempo.

 

[Sabetta]

maybe he was being held back by Mario and Mirabal?

"Maybe". You got proof? Cuz he wasn't yelling at Mario saying "fcvk Mirabal!" He was yelling about Marty not hitting the hole in 12 personnel with no eye candy.
So how do you know this?

I agree but that's actually my point.... when has Mario ever been quick with his hiring process???

 

[TheOriginalCane]

Tulane wants Dawwon in Nawlins.

Fantastic news.

Took 11 days after firing Guidry to hire Hetherman
