A reliable source has told me that Dannen is trying to leave Tulane for a bigger job as soon as possible. Apparently Fritz AND Dannen interviewed for their respective positions and Kansas and "blew it." Neither parties' visions appealed to Kansas, apparently.
I didn't hear anything about Coach Fritz being desperate to leave Tulane and I've only heard about his interest in the Kansas job, which would seem to be naturally attractive to him based on his roots in that part of the country. It would be a homecoming of sorts for him. I've always heard how happy he is at Tulane.
However I've heard the opposite about Dannen. He wants the next step in his career as soon as possible. He is a very confident individual (I'm trying to phrase that as politely as possible) and he believes he is destined for higher things. Sooner rather than later.
