Look, I get it. This season has been a complete disaster. We're awful, our record is beyond alarming. Dunleavy, or any coach with this type of season, could deserve to lose his job over it.
But why aren't the recruits running away from us? Why are we signing the 77th best player (He used to be the 68th best player according to rivals) in the 2020 class who has been offered by Florida, TCU, Georgia, Auburn, Penn St, Seton Hall, Ole Miss, DePaul, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Colorado St, Kansas St, St John's, UNLV and USF?
Who knows if we keep him. But this isn't an accident. Zhang, Wood, Crabtree and Nobal Days are all very good players who all had infinitely better options than Tulane. Yet they came.
Do we keep the faith with Dunleavy and give him time? I understand if you disagree but even the most jaded fan will have to acknowledge his success in landing talent. We're not paying kids to play at Tulane like other schools do. They see something in our program and they want to be a part of it, and they don't care about our record this season. I think that should be the true indication of where we're headed in the long term.
