"They were a beached whale for a lot of years and decades," former Tulane athletic director Kevin White told ESPN. "The schizophrenia from the campus community was real, relative to college athletics. You'd put on a helmet and shoulder pads when you went to the board meetings." This colorful analogy highlights the tumultuous past of Tulane athletics, reflecting the disconnection between the administration's actions and the football program's struggles for many years.
"To be able to sustain success is really rewarding, I think, for everybody involved," Sumrall said in his office last week. "Our players, our staff and the university as a whole... Anytime right now you feel like a coach leaves, you're like, 'All right, this could go really bad.' But we're very fortunate to have stability now." Sumrall's comments emphasize the significance of stability in coaching for sustaining athletic success at Tulane.
