Makhi was a star at Tulane and was on track to be drafted to the NFL.

Just like Tyjae Spears and Matt Forte.

Then, Oregon paid him $700k plus to be so low on the depth chart that he didn’t even travel with the team.

Hopefully taking short term money doesn’t cost him millions and a shot at the NFL.

Hoping for the best for a Tulane legend 🙏

A few concerning updates on the state of Tulane football today:

🟢 Garland Gillen reports it would cost Tulane between $5 and $6 million to move on from Will Hall after this season. The man who hired him was David Harris. That kind of money for a coach who went 14-30 at Southern Miss and got fired midseason is mind boggling. That alone is a fireable offense.
🟢 I’ve been told two Tulane players in team gear were seen smoking a joint around campus. They appear to be players in two position groups that have been performing poorly. This isn’t about the weed. It’s about doing it in public, in Tulane gear, without a second thought about how it looks. That’s a discipline problem, and discipline starts at the top.
🟢I rewatched the Homecoming game. Guys out of position, effort gone, a team playing like nobody believed in the plan. Tulsa led 32-0 at the half and outgained us 562 to 201. That’s on the coaching staff.
🟢 I’ve heard from multiple people that players’ families are getting into verbal altercations with other families and fans in the stands during games. When a program stops holding together, everything around it cracks too.
🟢 I’ve also been told playing time promises were made in the offseason that weren’t kept by position coaches. You never promise playing time. Fritz and Sumrall never did, and never would.

The culture that Fritz, Sumrall and legends like Nick Anderson, Michael Pratt, Slim Despanie, Dorian Williams, Tyjae Spears, Sam Howard, Patrick Johnson, Sincere Haynesworth, Patrick Jenkins and Jha’Quan Jackson worked so damn hard to build is disappearing fast.

There’s only one way to fix it. Admit you made a huge mistake with David Harris and Will Hall, clean house and start fresh.

Will Hall might be the nicest guy on the planet. He may also be a good offensive coach (although I doubt that after this season).

But he is very clearly not a good head coach. Not even close. He is one of the worst head coaches in the country.

David Harris' statement after the homecoming debacle was more of the same. Lots of talk with no substance. No action. He's showing the world that he is also not a good AD.

Letting this continue while other programs make coaching changes signals that Tulane is not serious about football. They refuse to hold people accountable.

❌The worst loss in the history of Yulman Stadium.
❌The worst conference loss since Tulane joined the American.
❌The worst loss of any kind since 2015.
❌Three conference losses already, the most since 2021 (hurricane year).
❌The first homecoming that didn't sell out since 2021.
❌ National headlines for embarrassing reasons.

I don't care how good the recruiting class is for next year. I couldn't care less about the words coming out of Hall's or Harris' mouth.

This situation is taking Tulane back to places we never should have even dreamed of returning to. The worst part is that it could've been avoided. Easily avoided.

Now the AD is refusing to hold people accountable and admit he made a mistake. We will forgive you for making it, but it needs to end now.

The replacement needs to be a proven winner at the FBS level. A proven recruiter. Someone who has won championships. Money should not be an issue. Tulane should be a top 3 job in the G6 in salary, revenue share and everything else.

Fix it or you will lose it all. You think crowds were bad this year? You have no idea how bad it will become, quickly. Athletics will die at Tulane if this isn't fixed soon.

Ron Hunter as well. The worst homecoming week I can remember.

Bad decisions got us here.

Keep making them and there won't be a program left to save.

Should Will Hall get a second season at Tulane?

What happened today on Homecoming is inexcusable.

4 straight conference championship games. A Cotton Bowl win. A CFP berth. Top 25 rankings. National recognition.

To getting run off our own field by TULSA on HOMECOMING. 60 to 10.

🟢 32-0 at the half
🟢 562 yards allowed. 
🟢 31 first downs to 15
🟢 Our only touchdown came with 2 seconds left

I have been openly criticizing Will Hall because I could see past the bullshit. Almost everyone could, except David Harris.

Harris admitted at the intro presser that his own search had concerns about Southern Miss. Hired him anyway. Called him the right person for the next chapter.

They preached continuity. This is a million steps back into the dark ages.

We now have Tulane legends openly calling out the collapse. Everyone can see it except the decision makers. Fitts high fiving students while down 50 says it all.

He sold us the next chapter based on “continuity”. We're back in the wilderness.

BLOW IT UP. FIRE EVERYONE.
