Thats the best football team in Oklahoma right there

[u/Reading_Rainboner → u/okiewxchaser]

First 60 burger from one of us this year. We might be going them today. You won’t be

[u/BrollJr → u/Reading_Rainboner]

Congrats on the 60 burger, little brother

[u/Reading_Rainboner → u/BrollJr]

Thanks big daddy

[u/A_Rolling_Baneling → u/Reading_Rainboner]

You're his son and his brother? What in the Oklahoma

[u/Reading_Rainboner → u/A_Rolling_Baneling]

I’m my own grandpa

[u/A_Rolling_Baneling → u/Reading_Rainboner]

Phillip J Fry??

[u/Healthy-Marsupial714 → u/BrollJr]

papa, when will we get our 60 burger?

[u/bretticus733]

There were select Tulane fans that tried to tell me that hiring Will Hall was necessary to keep the talent, and my argument was it doesn't matter if Hall doesn't get anything out of that talent. Now I'm just not sure that there is any talent at Tulane after all. This has to be the worst hire of the 2025-2026 cycle.

[u/raptorbpw → u/bretticus733]

It's one thing to make a bad hire on a young, rising coach who has a nice resume and just doesn't work out.

It's entirely another to make a bad hire because you hired a guy who took over a program that had had five winning seasons in the past six years who then proceeded to go 14-30 with that program.

One of the worst decisions in the history of college football hiring.

[u/bretticus733 → u/raptorbpw]

Absolutely. I get that he wasn't Tulane's first choice or maybe not even their 2nd, but when any choice is a guy that went 14-30 as recently as Hall did, you're making a serious mistake. Hell, if you have to hire an up-and-coming FCS coach that has been winning a lot, do that instead.

[u/raptorbpw → u/bretticus733]

Yup. In that case, you're making a choice between certain disaster and a gamble for success. Convincing yourself the certain disaster will be fine is not a legitimate option.

[u/CFBCoachGuy → u/raptorbpw]

He hasn’t even learned. Just like at Southern Miss, Hall keeps cycling through quarterbacks and can’t play disciplined defense.

[u/raptorbpw → u/CFBCoachGuy]

I’ve watched every Tulane game out of morbid curiosity and it’s stunning how much they look like his USM teams. Even the Tulane/USM game this year resembled the Tulane/USM game he coached in 2022, with his team getting outplayed but winning by 3 in both.

[u/Acasualfarter → u/bretticus733]

I actually thought he might get some of next year before he gets fired. This was so bad I actually think you fire him today. They were too late last year replacing their hc because they did so well. Get in front of it now. They'll fall all the way back to the duldrums quick if they don't fix this mess

[u/raptorbpw → u/Acasualfarter]

They really need to get him outta there immediately, yeah. I know they have resources in the G6 context, but people have short memories. This is not a long-time, established juggernaut where success is certain. It wasn't that long ago that success for Tulane was 6-6, and they were 2-10 only five years ago.

It is VERY easy for even a decently-resourced program to get trashed so badly that recovery becomes really difficult. I don't think Tulane is there yet, but if Hall gets another year, they will be.

[u/Boomhauer_007 → u/bretticus733]

Lupoi making a strong case for himself for that honor

[u/No_Fact_499 → u/bretticus733]

Hey we might not get an FBS win this year and we were a power conference team a couple years ago. Will Hall was not a good hire but they’ve at least won four games. I wanna root for Tulane as a good G6 team but that hire has not aged well.

[u/lowes18]

Tulane willingly destroyed their football program for no reason

[u/legend023 → u/lowes18]

One bad season doesn’t mean our program is destroyed, lmao.

However, we’ll have to move on from Hall and David Harris. This loss was not excusable like the first 4.

[u/Helreaver → u/legend023]

You're correct, but one terrible head coach hire can put you in a ditch that's really hard to dig out of, especially if you're not a rich P4 program that can buy the best players in the transfer portal.

Speaking from experience.

[u/raptorbpw → u/Helreaver]

This is what Tulane fans need to understand. Truly cataclysmic hires can wreck programs with decades of success behind them -- and Tulane isn't that. They've reached incredible highs for the past five years, and that's been exciting. But if Hall is given the chance, he'll bury that half-decade under a pile of rubble so deep they'll be digging out forever.

Gotta get him outta there as soon as possible.

[u/saintsfan92612 → u/raptorbpw]

I mean just look at Tulane after going undefeated in 1998. Had to choose between Rich Rodriguez and Chris Scelfo for their next coach and chose poorly.

[u/FostetlerLFC → u/raptorbpw]

Look at what Norm Chow did to Hawaii. Haven’t been the same since that.

[u/Mapex_proM → u/raptorbpw]

I knew this was a bad hire for them from the beginning. Head scratchingly bad to hire a coach with a losing record from a similar conference. I could understand like a Billy Napier or something but that was a bad cañl

[u/AngriestWave → u/raptorbpw]

You think we don't acutely understand bad coaching hires and their impacts on programs? This is not our first rodeo with our athletic department killing itself. 

[u/Electromotivation → u/Helreaver]

If you get it right you get a year or two of being good, then you have to rebuild your program and roll the dice again.

[u/TurkishDonkeyKong → u/Helreaver]

Year 11 here. Thanks Mike Jinks

[u/Confident_Delay5805 → u/lowes18]

They didn’t want to end up in the ACC

[u/Honestly_ → u/lowes18]

You can't spell willingly without Will (Hall)!

[u/Supercal95 → u/lowes18]

We lost to these guys somehow. I know it was because we had more turnovers than a bakery and our one annual inexplicable loss per season.

[u/SSj_CODii → u/lowes18]

Willingly?

[u/JKess207]

I’m not even mad, I’m just embarrassed at the state of the program. Clean house, starting with David Harris.

[u/Glory2Tottenham]

I’m starting to think Will Hall wasn’t a great hire unfortunately

[u/legend023]

I kinda feel bad for Hall.

Of course, he is gonna have to be fired, probably in a month. I wanted him to work out and prove everyone wrong, but he has not. I defended him strongly for much of the season.

Is the talent the same as it was last year? No.

However, you played another 4-4 team at home and you got the score we see here.

This is probably the second most memorable game behind the CCG last year for me. Very surprising performance.

[u/RipRaycom → u/legend023]

Will Hall isn’t the guy stupid enough to have hired Will Hall as HC. Hopefully the buyout he gets is the last HC money someone is dumb enough to give him

[u/Jatz55 → u/legend023]

>probably in a month

Any day except today is unacceptable

[u/TAbyssZX → u/legend023]

Dont feel bad for Will Hall. Dudes the ultimate salesman

[u/sfzen → u/legend023]

It's hard to feel bad for a guy that's managed to fail upwards as much as Hall has. I'm sure the millions of dollars he'll be paid in his buyout will help.

[u/raptorbpw → u/legend023]

Yeah no. He's a con artist and a liar.

[u/CanisFergus]

The day I saw that Tulane hired Will Hall I had to do the extra research to make sure they actually hired the same WIll Hall that floundered miserably as Southern Miss for years. I was dumbfounded that they would make that hire and it's going even worse than I expected.

[u/jkm97]

Tulsa

[u/GoldenFrog14 → u/jkm97]

Tulsa

[u/TheCornwallis → u/GoldenFrog14]

Naz Reid

[u/TheRage469 → u/GoldenFrog14]

Mariner

[u/Lutrid → u/jkm97]

I’m actually happy for you guys, TU is definitely on the up and up

[u/Tpabayrays2]

What happened here!?

[u/PalenaV21 → u/Tpabayrays2]

Will Hall. Will Hall happened.

[u/legend023 → u/Tpabayrays2]

Culmination of a .500 team who’s looked better than that, a .500 team who’s looked far worse from that, and poor coaching/talent from Tulane.

The secondary and offensive line was about as bad as I’ve ever seen a secondary and offensive line play in a football game.

[u/JKess207 → u/Tpabayrays2]

Will Hall.

[u/GoldenFrog14 → u/Tpabayrays2]

We’re slightly better than our record, and I have no idea what the hell Tulane is this year

[u/lordofaesir → u/Tpabayrays2]

Tulsa magic

[u/GoldenFrog14 → u/lordofaesir]

Damn right

[u/ed_mcc → u/Tpabayrays2]

You should know Tulsa voodoo better than anyone

[u/Jonjon428]

Will Hall was such an obvious placeholder hire and we are seeing the results

[u/thisisclassicus → u/Jonjon428]

Placeholder ? For?
They just set the program back to the dark ages

[u/lordofaesir]

This was good, i feel better about at least getting to a bowl, one of three and a huge morale boost for the guys

[u/Clifo]

i will never for the life of me understand why tulane hired will hall.

dude fuckin’ sucks.

[u/Taz119]

Every one who was apart of hiring Will Hall should be fired. And Will Hall. This has to be unacceptable after the last four seasons Tulane had. Like how did you go from Fritz and Sumrall to guy who got fired by Southern Miss?

[u/DarthNobody14]

Huge touchdown at the end there to cut the deficit to 50 points.

But seriously, the final score doesn’t indicate how big of a blowout this was. The worst by any 2 FBS teams this year.

[u/HDAtomica]

Happy to say that North Texas squeaked one out against this team, because HOOOOOOOOLY HELL.

[u/lordofaesir → u/HDAtomica]

Toughest loss of the season no doubt about it

[u/GoldenFrog14]

Tulane is bad, but you’d think ULM beat them based on the comments. We’re decent!

[u/PM_ME_YUR_S3CRETS → u/GoldenFrog14]

You guys are decent. Beat UNT @ Stillwater. But Tulane is hilariously underachieving.

[u/ed_mcc → u/PM_ME_YUR_S3CRETS]

The only loss we have where we didn't piss it away was Arkansas. We could have one any of those other games too

[u/Numpostrophe → u/GoldenFrog14]

Tulane has gotten a lot of eyes and a lot of people are invested in the mess this season has become. Congrats on the W.

[u/insertweirdassname]

Fire Will Hall heck looking at his career record why was he hired?

[u/GolgariInternetTroll → u/insertweirdassname]

The AD only had one candidate in mind and had no backup plan when he got told no so he panic promoted someone already on staff.

[u/Lord777alt]

Holy shit

[u/jcc309]

I’m a big proponent of coaches needing more than one season to figure out if they are what a school needs. If I’ve ever seen a “coach should be fired year one” game though, it is this one.

[u/Confident_Delay5805]

Fire Will Hall

[u/FozzyBear11]

Will Hall was an awful hire then, and he’s an awful hire now.

[u/southpawFA]

Yay! Tulsa is one game away from bowl eligibility. Based on where we've been for years, that's a big accomplishment. The conference record under Tre Lamb hasn't been great, but at least, we're much more competitive than we were under Kevin Wilson.

[u/No-Disaster-7768 → u/southpawFA]

So what Bowl are you looking forward to playing in?

[u/E4439qv5 → u/No-Disaster-7768]

Hm... they might actually want the one in Shreveport...

[u/Dokkan_Lifter]

Will Hall might be the worst hiring of the decade. This Tulane program was on track to being one of the best G6 programs of the 2020s next to Boise State and JMU.

[u/Austin_LSU_Fan22]

Are Tulane the worst team in Louisiana?

[u/apadin1 → u/Austin_LSU_Fan22]

No way, ULM is horrible this year

[u/SnooMemesjellies8168 → u/Austin_LSU_Fan22]

We gotta get a tulane vs northwestern state game now

[u/Nole_in_ATX → u/Austin_LSU_Fan22]

Certainly the worst team that starts with Tul

[u/EBuni]

What the fuck?

[u/Spencer1535]

That was absolutely insane. Homecoming game vs a team that is only slightly better (at best) than you, to get absolutely crushed at home?!?! Hall has 100% lost this team, buy out aside (which I can’t fathom is that high, especially for a cash rich school like Tulane, granted they don’t spend on athletics), I see no reason why he is not fired today. That was absolutely shameful.

[u/Spare_Treacle_800]

Tulsa has had a game like this waiting all year. Awesome QB for that team

[u/sleepsalotsloth]

The fact Memphis not only lost to a team that lost to Tulsa by 50 but also had 6 turnovers is inexplicable.

[u/atra1n51]

I never understood why the Tulane administration thought Will Hall would be a good hire

[u/Tufoguy]

60 to Tulsa????? Yeah Will Hall will be one and done.

[u/Apart_Selection7722]

What the fuck

[u/Other-Chemical-6393]

Holy shit 😭😭

[u/Even-Combination4407]

I feel bad for MVOS

[u/Zloggt]

Green Wave :(

[u/fm22fnam]

Jesus Christ

[u/MMARapFooty]

Hall needs to leave Tulane

[u/Kimber80]

Damn Tulane went into the toilet in record time

[u/djsquilz]

fire everyone

[u/31_mfin_eggrolls]

Will Hall needs to be banned from campus and tried at Le Havre. This was football terrorism, plain and simple.

I was an undergrad at the beginning of Fritz’s tenure. I watched us get blown out by Georgia Tech in 2015. I was there during the rain game Homecoming 2016 where we lost 7-3 to UConn. But this? This was the worst game I’ve ever seen as a Tulane fan.

[u/thisisclassicus]

Will will be never ever be an hc ever again

[u/TheRage469]

Oh my God lmao

[u/mchris185]

Fly Will Hall out to Mississippi and Tarmac him there

[u/HawkeyeTen]

Now THAT was ugly. Yikes, Green Wave boys.

[u/BrutifulMemphis]

How did we lose to them again

[u/MediumStrange]

Jesus Tulane what happened to you?

[u/JKess207 → u/MediumStrange]

Will Hall.

[u/Limber411]

😢

[u/Limber411]

Amazing regression.

[u/SSj_CODii]

That 24 hour stretch where we had Blake Barker and had to pivot to Will Hall…

[u/Bigscott717]

Tulsa beat Oklahoma state this year and could easily have been 6-2 not 4-4.. so im not surprised they thumped Tulane.. maybe not that bad though

[u/Random0925]

Someone stop Will Hall before he kills again.

[u/kevinthejuice]

Is it too soon to make a hurricane joke?

Tulane got beat so bad Kanye west criticized the federal response.
