Above are the known candidates in play for the head coaching vacancy at Tulane. It appeared that Tommy Bowden was offered the job and has since declined the offer. Most rumors out there have Rich Rodriguez as the likely suitor for the Green Wave who wants to hire their next head coach before the end of November heading into the crucial recruiting time period. Rich Rodriguez has an outstanding resume that includes two very successful years as Tommy Bowden’s offensive coordinator in 1998 and 1999. Michael Haywood is an interesting prospect who has an impeccable resume that includes eight years at LSU and has had tremendous success recruiting the state of Louisiana. He did a wonderful job turning around the Miami Ohio program that was woeful before Haywood took over winning the MAC championship in only his second year at the helm of the program. He then took the Pittsburgh job before getting arrested on a domestic dispute with the mother of his baby. Pittsburgh fired him before he coached a football game for them. Curtis Johnson is a Sean Payton disciple who has spent the last five years as his wide receivers coach in New Orleans including a Super Bowl championship season. Johnson spent most of his coaching career at Miami and he could bring another important recruiting aspect to this process. He is from New Orleans and deserves an opportunity. The three MAC coaches, Pete Lembo, Dave Clawson, and Tim Beckman appear to be “B” list candidates if any of the top three fall through.
Recommendation: Rich Rodriguez
Runner-Up: Curtis Johnson
Third Choice: Michael Haywood
