Willie Fritz Comments on Georgia Tech Coaching Rumors
In this story:
Sunday evening, it was being reported that Georgia Tech had reached a deal with Tulane head coach Willie Fritz to be its next head coach.
However, it was not long after that the report was being refuted and was later retracted.
Fritz met with the media today ahead of Tulane's conference championship matchup and he was asked about the reports that have linked him to the Georgia Tech head coaching job. Here is what Fritz had to say:
"I talked to the team about it and obviously the initial report gets more traction than the secondary report but I am the head football coach of Tulane, I am extremely proud to be the head coach at Tulane and we are looking forward to the ballgame on Saturday and that is what I told our guys when I visited with them this morning. So... I don't want to talk about those kinds of things, I want to talk about the ballgame."
