Article on the 2006 Coaching Search...
Sad article - "They had their eyes on former UCLA head coach Bob Toledo." This publication that I've never heard of (although the author's name sounds familiar) has published 2 Tulane articles today.

IIRC, Harbaugh was offered the job but did not immediately accept it, waiting to see if the Stanford offer would come through. When the Sanford post came through, he turned us down.
A properly researched article would have also made reference to the time we chose to hire Clark Shaugnessy instead of Knute Rockne, back in 1915 (although that didn't turn out so bad).

I thought we offered him, he wanted to go interview with Stanford, so RD moved on.

You may be right. Either I didn't know what was going on beneath the Cone of Silence or mine was not a "properly researched" post.krewe of ham and eggs wrote:I thought we offered him, he wanted to go interview with Stanford, so RD moved on. ...

I think this paper is a right-wing rag from D.C.

Victor Law (Chem E Professor) is Quinn's uncle.

YOGWF - of all the Tulane fans in the world, we're the Tulaniest
Re: Article on the 2006 Coaching Search...
Is this a political or sports forum? Examiner founders didn’t like the product from the existing DC media so they started their own periodical. Isn’t that why YOGWF exists? Because existing local media outlets didn’t serve the interests of this community?Johnny Mac wrote:outside of the good pub Tulane has gotten from it, it's a piece of shiat newspaper.... right wing rag doesn't quite put it far right enoughPrivate Joker wrote:I think this paper is a right-wing rag from D.C.
You don’t like the Examiner’s output, ignore it or go to Huff Post or wherever you prefer and blast away. Meanwhile most of us here prefer that YOGWF remain non-political. Don’t you?
Re: Article on the 2006 Coaching Search...
Agreed Baywave! Let's not bring political opinion into this forum. We're all Tulane fans...let's not go any further than that.
Re: Article on the 2006 Coaching Search...
Agreed, the space on this forum should be safe for those who don't want to read other's opinions on the quality of political publications.

Re: Article on the 2006 Coaching Search...
It's not a "political thought"... it's a clear classification of what the Examiner IS.. it is a right wing newspaper.. not a political viewpoint, a fact.. and to get political for just a second, I'm NOT a liberal.ml wave wrote:Clearly too subtle, my bad.Johnny Mac wrote:then don't read it... the comment I mean.. not the whole forumml wave wrote:Agreed, the space on this forum should be safe for those who don't want to read other's opinions on the quality of political publications.
I consider it a POS because it's not a very good newspaper, not because of what direction it leans.
In re the Tulane op ed, while great pub, was poorly written.. it appeared to have so much more to be said and it just ended, awkwardly. I appreciated the story, but to me it appeared the author grew tired of writing so he just stopped.
Regardless, I deleted the original comment.

Re: Article on the 2006 Coaching Search...
I do agree that both of the Tulane stories were poorly written. And I hate saying that about a Tulane story written by a Tulane person.
