Coaches get upset all the time, especially after bad losses. Sometimes they say things that later they find to be truly regrettable.
Tulane coach Bob Toledo had one of those moments Saturday night after a 44-16 loss to Houston.
Toledo criticized Tulane fans, saying there was "no homefield advantage". He also said there was nobody in the stands. I was there Saturday, and I can vouch for this: nobody in the stands was close. There may have been 1,500 Tulane supporters actually in the seats.
At his Tuesday presser, Toledo apologized. There was no doubt the orders for that apology came from his superiors, either in the school or in the athletic department.
I like Toledo's frankness. And, I like him personally. But, I wonder if he stepped on the wrong toes on Saturday October 17th .. and how much that misstep will cost him, later.
