By the way, is J.P. France still with the Bulldogs? MSU used 11 other pitchers last weekend.

So is this a retroactive W for Dannen? Pending a LOT more information it's possible we vetted that at the time.

If you go that route, you have to give Cowan a retroactive "W" for hiring Chris Scelfo instead of Coach Rod.1309th WAVE wrote:So is this a retroactive W for Dannen?

Besides being swept by the in state school you don’t acknowledge exists, any idea what he did?

Might be an extramarital affair with someone who may or may not work for UF. There's a lot we don't know, maybe more comes out after the official announcement this morning, maybe it doesn't. I'm cynical enough to think that being swept in state by the in state school you don’t acknowledge exists certainly pushed this decision along.NJwave wrote:Besides being swept by the in state school you don’t acknowledge exists, any idea what he did?

Re: Andy Cannizzaro reportedly to be fired Tuesday (moving)
I really wanted to stay out of all the threads involving anything Andy but I need to remind y'all that most of the stories about this situation are going to mention Tulane (as, for example, the one above) so we probably should not be gloating about this. It reflects poorly on Tulane (the scandal, if not the gloating).
Re: Andy Cannizzaro reportedly to be fired Tuesday (moving)
I agree with you but you could also argue that there was something TD didn’t feel comfortable with during the interview process and didn’t hire Andy despite all the internal pressure. Taking that view, TD looks great.PeteRasche wrote:I really wanted to stay out of all the threads involving anything Andy but I need to remind y'all that most of the stories about this situation are going to mention Tulane (as, for example, the one above) so we probably should not be gloating about this.

FWIW all the stories will mention LSU and the Yankees too.

Re: Andy Cannizzaro reportedly to be fired Tuesday (moving)
Sure. But most of us don't care about them. I think it's a little tasteless to be happy about the failure of a former player of ours, regardless of the recent history. And especially if the stuff is true that he was having an affair while married with kids and another on the way. Yeah that's entirely on him but as a married father, I hate seeing that happen anywhere. His wife and kids have to live with that.Baywave1 wrote:FWIW all the stories will mention LSU and the Yankees too.
Re: Andy Cannizzaro reportedly to be fired Tuesday (moving)
I saw on Twitter some calling this a "homerun" for TD which was disputed as "remaining to be seen". I agree about the hire of Jewett still remains but if TD knew something about AC when he made his decision I think he at least earns a ton of credit.NJwave wrote:I agree with you but you could also argue that there was something TD didn’t feel comfortable with during the interview process and didn’t hire Andy despite all the internal pressure.

He will always be one of my favorite Tulane players. He was a great defensive shortstop, hit for average, ran the bases, stole bases, tough as nails, a leader and above all else a tiger killer.

Re: Andy Cannizzaro reportedly to be fired Tuesday (moving)
So what if Tulane is mentioned in any articles about his firing? LSU will get mentioned as well. You think they care? He appears to have made bad decisions but those are his, not ours. I hope he comes out of this as well as he can.
That said, yeah, Troy is looking goooooood today.

It says for cause. Statement from MSU due today--should be interesting.

Re: Andy Cannizzaro reportedly to be fired Tuesday (moving)
An affair isn't necessarily (although in the Bible belt SEC, it may be), but an affair with someone in the department or at the school certainly could be. We don't know all the details and may never.waverider wrote:I also don't think that should be a fireable offense.PeteRasche wrote:Sure. But most of us don't care about them.

Regardless, in the court of public opinion, especially in today's social media atmosphere, there is no way to spin having an affair while married with kids and one on the way as being acceptable behavior, and news stories will indicate the behavior was by "a Tulane grad".

I bet more news stories mention LSU before they mention Tulane. Way more. Shame on them.

Re: Andy Cannizzaro reportedly to be fired Tuesday (moving)
Maybe that's where he learned the bad behavior (LSU)? He was a saint while at Tulane, as far as we're concerned. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it).long green wrote:I bet more news stories mention LSU before they mention Tulane. Way more. Shame on them.

Re: Andy Cannizzaro reportedly to be fired Tuesday (moving)
Humiliation on so many levels.
His family for their outburst burning bridges with TU
His wife going through all this drama and the gossip in small town Mississippi. Brutal.
Affairs aren't a fireable offense, unless he somehow paid or benefited the person which is what went sideways for Petrino in Arkansas. Or if it was unwanted advances which is a crime. People forget that schools are state organizations and therefore subject to greater compliance and sunshine records laws than private entities.
Just a random side note, but his wife Allison is a TU alum undergrad AND law school.

I can't to read his family's tweets about it

i think we are letting the annoyance we feel with a couple of posters who really like AC and repeatedly post about him cloud our judgment. this is not a good thing for anyone, especially the families.
