A brand new stadium, a new conference and a coach who had just engineered a five-win improvement. 2014 was going to be a fun year of Tulane football, even more fun than 2013, when Curtis Johnson turned a 2-10 team into a seven-game (5-3 in conference) winner. He also developed and put yet another wide receiver in the NFL (Ryan Grant), which he’s done his entire life. Furthermore, he would get to showcase his rising team at beautiful new Yulman Stadium instead of an empty Superdome, and in a new, tougher conference. What could go wrong?
