This Tulane situation

[SpanishMoon]

Is thee any chance that this AD will make a run at Jake because they get along really well and would like to keep working together and also Farley? What do the experts say?

Not a chance that Jacobson would leave UNI for Tulane. That in my opinion would be trading down. UNI is a good program and Tulane isn't as strong.

You don't think that money could sway him?

Agreed. The only thing Tulane has going for it is that they're in the American Conference with UCONN, Cincy, and Memphis.

I don't see Jake leaving UNI to go to a school that has already lost games to Alabama A&M, Southern, and Mercer so far this season...

Re: This Tulane situation

Does Tulane even have ability to give Jake any raise let alone a significant raise?

Re: This Tulane situation

Maybe they want to establish a better program and compete better. You could do a lot worse than to pay Jake a lot of cash to come and write the ship.

Which ship, and what do you think they will say in the letter?

Re: This Tulane situation

When it comes to Tulane it makes zero sense for Jake to take that job.....the only way it could happen from a Tulane standpoint is if they offer a 8-10 year contract worth around 1.5 per year and a huge buyout so there is more security if he doesn't have instant success. I think where this could be a issue....although I still feel it's unlikely, is this driving Jake a take a good offer this offseason. I will stand behind the fact that what he has built is not because of this AD and will continue long after he is gone. Coach stays unless they hire someone who he just simply hates......so just hire someone he loves and we are fine.

Folks... seriously. Obvious SpanishMoon is obvious.

Why? Just because he's an Iowa fan pretending to be Spanish?

Current Tulane coach is a Davenport, IA native - Ed Conroy

Tulane is private, so no financial details of pretty much any aspect of that athletic department are easy to find. From what I can find he makes somewhere between 400 and 600K. That's a complete guess on "cryptic" statements I've found on google in the 5 minutes I spent looking for it.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner. There is absolutely no reason for Jake to go to Tulane, and if he did want to leave, I'd bet he could find a much better option elsewhere.

Yes, Tulane is beat down on a regular basis in the American Athletic Conference. BTW, the Tar Heels in Chapel Hill later this month!
