The Rise of Tulane Football | The Greatest Turnaround in College Football History

[@JKJ002]

Where does Willie Fritz rank among the top Head Coaches in the FBS?

[@sebifry1963]

Top 20 easily

[@domtom9594]

Fast fact: Tulane was former founding member of SEC but left because they felt like they were not good enough for the conference. Tulane is that humble long distance relative of the SEC that just want to be acknowledge via hard-work than being egoistical.

[@jordanjones4587]

Them and Georgia tech should have stayed

[@Beau915]

The reason they no longer felt good enough is because they had deemphasized athletics and no longer were bringing in the same athletes. Had they stayed committed they could have continued to compete at a high level.

[@reidbonvillain5135]

Nah Tulane left the SEC because of money

[@jamespyle777]

@@reidbonvillain5135 if it was because of money, they would've stayed but this was still before money was an issue.

[@thecombarianempire979]

@@Beau915 Also the SEC makes schools provide a minimum number of athletic scholarships and Tulane wanted to focus on being the "Harvard of the South" so left

Crushed by a 7-5 Florida Gators team in some bowl game somewhere. Thanks for coming.

[@bbones504]

A lot of overlooked Louisiana talent play at Tulane and they just didn’t have a coach to turn the program around…I believe now Tulane has found that coach. Tulane was once a very strong Football, Baseball and Basketball school. I’m happy to see them getting a shine again in sports. Ride Dat Wave 🌊🔥🔥🔥

[@sawyertuide7636]

I think Tulane might be able to repeat a 10+ win season at least, though I am concerned a bit about their defense losing all 5 of their highest tacklers, they have plenty of other depth pieces who could step up, and their stars are back with a new OC’s who’s comfortable with the program Very interesting insight on their history too and why they had that long valley

[@Austin_Niepołomice]

Man thinking on struggling programs, if DePaul basketball ever makes a turnaround it’s gonna be just as massive if not more so. 20 years since last NCAA tourney, 15+ since last NIT, and consistently last in the Big East. They are a Netflix documentary in the waiting and a sleeping giant.

[@MichaelJW72]

It has to irk them that Loyola Chicago has made a final four and a sweet sixteen in recent years.

[@adriansmith5279]

Yeah, I'm from Philly, where we have Villanova and the rest of the big 5, we got a lot of D1 Teams with great history of basketball. However, seeing DePaul growing up, especially when they were good when I was kid starting to watch sports. I feel sorry for DePaul. I hope they make a run back to the Tourny one day.

[@carltonbanks5470]

Funny I grew up with a kid in new orleans that went to depaul out of high school. Only stayed there one year.

[@rockthe60s70s]

Roll Wave! Just found your channel. Awesome stuff man!

[@dylanmartin3981]

Man, don’t stop making videos. Love these!

[@superiorlobster8888]

Your videos are peak you deserve more attention

[@TigerWave01]

With Fritz gone, I'm very curious to see how we'll do this year. But Jon Sumrall seems like a great coach and we did AMAZING in the transfer portal. I'm so excited to attend the games this year.

[@NFCChampionship-nf4kp]

Great Video! You should make one about the University of Washington.

[@AceManning18]

The best G6 team to use and eventually move to a bigger conference (back to the SEC, usually) has always been Tulane for me Sweet jerseys, solid recruiting area and stadium, lots of history, and good academics.

[@loganb.1984]

You should make a video on UW, because we had a similar, yet admittedly less impressive turn around last season.

[@AvailableTimeGaming]

Which Tulane logo do you like more the T with the wave or the current cartoon one? I personally like the T with the wave, but I don’t like Tulane.

[@dilburger6902]

The greatest turnaround in CFB history belongs to K-State. Tulane may have had the greatest single-season turnaround though

[@carltonbanks5470]

K State turnaround? They've had good years off and on for a while going back to the Darren Sproles days. Plus Tulane is a smaller private academic school. They don't have nearly the sports resources and emphasis that K State has.

[@AceManning18]

​@@carltonbanks5470way to show your lack of knowledge pre 2000. Kansas State before the 90s is the worst major program in history. Do your research pal.

[@carltonbanks5470]

@@AceManning18 Before the 90s is damn near 35 years ago dummy.

[@SINcitySEAL]

They've had one good year. UTSA has had 3 in a row, and the media is ranking Tulane 10 spots ahead of Runners in preseason polls. Watch the AAC this year. There will not be a huge gap between these teams.

[@cjhwngtkt6337]

Uh the Roadrunner lost to the Wave. The defense made Mr Harris seem very ordinary. Just Sayin.

[@SINcitySEAL]

@cjhwngtkt6337 that's a bot name, opinion discarded

[@AceManning18]

​@@SINcitySEALone huge difference - Tulane went to a major bowl and smacked a national power Tell us you're a UTSA fan without telling us 😂

Are Pratt and Jackson seniors?

[@jordanjones4587]

Yes

[@Zack-vh7fu]

MVOS made a better video about the topic about a year ago lol. You even stole his title bro like come on

[@lajanyisrael613]

What if they never left the SEC? Would they be top tier or bottom tier? Remember they are in New Orleans

[@MartinSummers-j6t]

They'd be Vanderbilt but in New Orleans. Over the past 30 years they've been terrible at football (except a few seasons), while making the post season (regional play) 20 times with 10 super regional appearances, and 2 trips to the World Series, in baseball and have been ok in basketball. There was a time from 1992 to 2005 when they administration was actively voting on weather or not to get rid of football last vote taken in 2005 winning by a 5 to 4 margin to keep the team.

[@rolldamnhawkeyes3255]

Sorry but Kansas State under Bill Snyder is by far the more impressive rebuild

[@jordanjones4587]

Tulane beat y'all

[@nmyster3201]

​@@jordanjones4587 You really don't understand how dire K-State's situation was, do you? I'll make it short and sweet. If Snyder didn't rebuild the football program at K-State, there would not have been a K-State football program for Tulane to beat in 2022. K-State was THAT bad before Snyder came along. If Snyder had failed, KSU would've either dropped a division or just dropped football entirely.

[@cjhwngtkt6337]

You obviously haven't watched Tulane football as long as me. Trust me Mr Big 12 conference man it doesn't even compare.

[@MartinSummers-j6t]

There was a time from 1992 to 2005 when the Tulane administration was actively voting on weather or not to get rid of football last vote taken in 2005 winning by a 5 to 4 margin to keep the team. It also seemed at the time that up until 2015 the admin hated sports in general and would actively campaign and go out of there way to destroy athletics. Luckily the new people in charge have put an infuses on athletics and yes its taken 8 years but success doesn't usually happen over night.
