Do you think they will keep atleast 1 coach in some capacity
for recruiting reasons? I think they should keep coach
Mason due to his recruiting ties and coaching experience through the state of Louisiana. He is from Arkansas and played under Lou Holtz. He has Arkansas ties for recruiting and has been recruiting Louisiana hard for over 20+ years with coaching stints at Northwestern 3 times, ULM, Tulane and UL. What is your opinion if anyone at all should be kept?
In my opinion this is 100% up to the next coach, he should have free reign.
I do have a loose suggestion, if a coach comes in who has never been a head coach it would only be smart to retain a "rope knower" on staff.
If he has head coaching experience he has been there done that and UL won't have to worry about him being paid to learn as he goes.
Having said that I understand you are really asking; Who of the current assistant coaches is highly thought of locally?
Keep the Florida connection.
Obviously our perception in Louisiana is about as bad as it could be. We need a revamp.

I would like to see us keep Gerald Broussard as the OL coach and keep Hurley Brown as the DB coach as he is an excellent recruiter out of Florida. Other than that maybe keep Kevin Fourquier as a positional defensive coach, maybe LB's. Tim Rebowe from what I been told from people who have worked in the college ranks really like him as a person and trust him as a recruiter.
Run them all

Considering how poor our WR production has been with an inability to get separation, dropped balls etc I would not be in favor of retaining him.Quote:

If he would be willing to be moved to being the O-line coach and take a pay cut in doing so, I'd be all in favor of retaining him.
Looking at a numerical roster in one of this years programs I see zero players from Arkansas, so if Mason has these Arkansas ties, he is sure not utilizing them. Our receivers consistently drop passes and run some of the poorest routes I have ever seen. Him being kept would be about on par with Lustig being kept.Quote:

Hurley is my top pick for retention.
