These are just people who I've heard are lobbying hard to be considered for the job. It's not sourced from within Tulane so I have no idea if they're wasting their time or if they're being seriously considered. I still think Burke will either get the job outright or at a minimum will continue in her current role while the figurehead/fund raising role goes to someone more prominent. Anyway, here's what I know:

Scott Sidwell, not Steve as I incorrectly said before, is desperate for this job. Whether he's the right guy or not, who knows. But he's doing everything he can to be included in the search.

Arnie Fielkow is putting the full court press to get this job, and I hear that he wants this job as much as he wants his next breath. He's trying to line up a lunch with Avi and Jill Glazer on Thursday, which is a smart move because you need the big check writers on your side. He's calling everyone in the media trying to get them to push him name publicly, both in radio and tv. Supposedly said that this is his dream job.

Warde Manuel, who is the AD at UConn, is a "hot" name from what I've been told. He's a native New Orleanian and a Brother Martin alum. 47 years old. He has a pretty significant job at the moment so that might give him gravitas that the others lack.

And Barbara Burke, as well all know.

That's all I have for now. And I have no idea what Tulane is thinking.
