We need you Willie fritz
Our players love you and you are an inspiration for them to believe in. I understand making more money and I hope Tulane comes thru. Gives us a good looking over before you make up your mind. Keeping Tulane a winner would put you in sport’s history for all time. Love ya Willie

Re: We need you Willie fritz
The time for that was before this. Either this was a done deal and he didn't mind it leaking (in which case eff him), or it was a done deal and wasn't supposed to leak (in which case he looks better, but he still ain't changing his mind at this point), or it wasn't a done deal at all, in which case you'd be seeing Fritz out in front denying this about an hour ago.

No groveling.
And we don't "need" him.

No. Tactless. Timing is nearly everything, and Wilhelm Fritz's timing is floating in the crapper......pearlriverwave wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 6:36 pm Our players love you and you are an inspiration for them to believe in.

Re: We need you Willie fritz
Considering tulane’s record of hiring bad coaches, if we want a good coach then willie’s our man. The man did an awesome job and some of you want to slam him for interviewing. Well he is good enough for GT then he is good enough for us

Re: We need you Willie fritz
This is the part that pisses me off. A good old fan shouldn’t have to do this. Fritz isn’t really doing it. Bowden did it to peoples’ faces and I’ve never forgiven that. This will be over one way or another soon enough. I’m glad a lot of people here realize that our timetable is more urgent than Tech’s.

Re: We need you Willie fritz
I’d rather he stay but the reality is once this gets out we - Tulane- have to know. We don’t have the luxury of letting Tech interview more guys (it’s beyond that, of course). But when you’re getting dumped and are back in the market you need to keep your self-respect.pearlriverwave wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 8:24 pm Considering tulane’s record of hiring bad coaches, if we want a good coach then willie’s our man.

Re: We need you Willie fritz
This was Thamel’s tweet a couple hours ago:
I was curious if this was leaked by Ga Tech to see the interest from the fans. I doubt it.Sources: Georgia Tech interviewed Tulane coach Willie Fritz today. No deal has been struck to make him Tech’s next coach. Fritz is a top candidates, but there’s other interviews scheduled for upcoming days.

Re: We need you Willie fritz
Sorry, no sale.
Do you want to let this go until Saturday and have an outgoing coach use the championship game as a personal showcase? No middle ground here.

GA Tech fans are furious. Since their last guy cane from Temple, they’ve lumped us in together with their dumpster fire.
They’re literally organizing in person live protests.

Re: We need you Willie fritz
This is what I’ve seen from GT fans in most of the tweets about the hire. Of course, Tennessee fans were unimpressed with the hiring of Heupel from UCF but I think they are happier now.DrHullabaloo wrote: ↑Sun Nov 27, 2022 8:52 pm GA Tech fans are furious.

Re: We need you Willie fritz
Good. IIRC there have been several almost coach hires that fell apart because of fan revolt. Hell EPL fans saved it from European super league even though the billionaires would have become trillionaires from it. OK with me if delusional GT fans torpedo this
LG is spot on. No middle ground. Willie chose his agent and approved this negotiating tactic to sow the wind and are now reaping the whirlwind
He can still recover his status here because most folks will forgive and forget (sort of) this if done now.
Otherwise we will wish him well in his future endeavors and root for the folks that want to make Tulane 1-0 this week
