SI: In Rebuilding Louisiana Football

https://www.si.com/college-football/...tte-nick-saban

Maggard proudly details how Louisiana’s non-football coaching staff has grown by about 75%: two strength coaches, a handful of strength interns, three nutrionists and more than a dozen others who juggle duties in multiple departments, from recruiting to quality control. The athletic department’s snack budget went from zero to $1.5 million. The football program’s assistant coach salary pool increased by 40% to $2 million, and the school began to pay the full cost of attendance for athletes, something the NCAA permitted for the first time in 2015.

Was an excellent read, and just getting more fired up for the season.

Wow. That was some great pub for this program.

Absolutely a must read. Whether you’re high or low ok Louisiana football, it’s a must read.

True, but before that, Doc went all in when he hired Maggard, and he's running the table like Chris Moneymaker ever since.

That was an awesome read

Wow. Great article!

Great read. Can't wait for the season.

What a fantastic read. This is it, guys.

Did anyone notice who wrote the article?
I wonder if this was assigned or if he willfully wanted to give us good pub.

Not only is that great publicity, but really great information for the fans. I knew we added staff and budget but no idea it was this much. The info about how are they being used was fascinating.
