Why don't outstanding game-changing QB's come to Tulane?
Why don't outstanding game-changing QB's come to Tulane?
Thought you folks might want to take this poll.
There was not room for the choice "We don't have enough good NOLA recruiting connections".

Actually, not many schools attract game-changing Qbs.

Exactly, and the few out there don't go to schools who have counted winning seasons on one hand in the last quarter century.Ray wrote:Actually, not many schools attract game-changing Qbs.
Re: Why don't outstanding game-changing QB's come to Tulane?
There was a highly rated QB in Johnson City a few decades ago who was heavily recruited by UT coaching legend General Neyland. He ended up at Florida because he wanted to pass the ball, and Neyland told him that UT was a running team and would not change. Steve Spurrier angered Tennessee fans and locals, but won the Heisman.
Not every QB is that good, although many see themselves that way. The new OC should make some take a second look.

Great poll. You managed a true range of options including throwing a bone to the igloo crew (all two of them) who hate playing uptown.

Tanner Lee was a game-changing qb.
He needed to work on the “outstanding” part.

Re: Why don't outstanding game-changing QB's come to Tulane?
It's a far more stable and better long term strategy to get a coach who puts good QB's in a position to make game changing plays than trying to find those few in a decade talents.

I refuse to respond ...high school stadium... are you kidding me?.. build the program and build the support - then see where the current trends dictate you spend your $. No Fan of dickson, for alot of reasons - but the stadium was the right move. fritz will start to fill it . get a championship - build an addition. but to post that BS is counter productive ... every effort should be to build the program -
but "HS stadium" - very counter productive >>>> reversing 30 years of mis management - is not easy and we are on the path ... why such a negative poll? we all know that the BS BCS controls all the cash... waited a long time for a prof.coach and coaching staff...we are on our way... public reads it - why the backhanded negativity.....you are your worst enemy!.
total BS... you deserve what you get!

Kids from top programs in Texas play in bigger better stadiums almost every Friday night, tough sell but a fact.RI WAVE wrote:I refuse to respond ...high school stadium... are you kidding me?.. !
That said I believe it has more to do with Conference and historical record when it comes to recruiting.
Re: Why don't outstanding game-changing QB's come to Tulane?
Perhaps the case is those kids play in college stadiums. Citing the 0.01% of highs schools as your example is not being honest about the situation.double d wrote:Kids from top programs in Texas play in bigger better stadiums almost every Friday night, tough sell but a fact.RI WAVE wrote:I refuse to respond ...high school stadium... are you kidding me?.. !

That is like talking about Alabama's coaches salary as if it were the norm for all D1 football.

Sorry to offend you. I set up this poll as an honest reflection of views I have seen on this board. Have you not observed this comment before? A poll only allows 5 options or I would have included other views as well.RI WAVE wrote:I refuse to respond ...high school stadium... are you kidding me?.. build the program and build the support - then see where the current trends dictate you spend your $.

Re: Why don't outstanding game-changing QB's come to Tulane?
It's a lot of factors, but I think the biggest one was CWF misspeaking in his first interview about his offense, then not being aggressive enough in knocking it down afterwards. In total context, it was clear what he wanted to run, but in a soundbite it sounded like a triple option. He kept explaining for years, but not aggresively enough, and nothing could take back the soundbite. Pretty soon us running a triple option was a talking point for every broadcaster doing games, its what high school coaches (who aren't always that smart nor engaged) heard, and heck even some of our own fans still think we were trying to run a "high school" triple option offense. It was a problem with perception far more than it was with reality, and it kept us from getting the talent necessary to run it leaving us, ironically, running something closer to what people imagined, and reinforcing the image.
Hopefully the new OC helps change that image regardless of if he changes a lot or a little from what CWF originally wanted to do

Re: Why don't outstanding game-changing QB's come to Tulane?
Totally agree on this point. I can remember ESPN color analysts commenting on Tulane's "triple option" game. That was damaging and seemed to take on a life of its own in spite of what everyone was seeing (a run-heavy inside zone read).WaveProf wrote:It's a lot of factors, but I think the biggest one was CWF misspeaking in his first interview about his offense, then not being aggressive enough in knocking it down afterwards.

Looking forward to resolving that self-inflicted wound this season.

Unfortunately he has said it many more times publicly since that initial quote. He continued to say it at times in interviews this season. We were all hoping he recognized the damage it causes but to this point he hasn't stopped using the term.WaveProf wrote:It's a lot of factors, but I think the biggest one was CWF misspeaking in his first interview about his offense, then not being aggressive enough in knocking it down afterwards.
