Bob Marlin, staff counting heavily on newcomers to improve Cajuns defensively and in SBC Race

Can we go out and get some Easter Bunnies?

This x 1000

I have zero confidence that Marlin will ever get this basketball program at a high enough level to matter. I did like him initially and thought he could do it. Nope, I was wrong.

I would generally agree. How many wait and see years do we have to have before we start seeing that change is on the horizon.

Y’all need to understand that the UL administration is fairly satisfied with the Big Fish. No NCAA issues, high GPA and good graduation rates. Conference titles are highly overrated. We’ve got a stable and aging fan base. We can go on like this far into the future.

Face it, the big Fish will probably decide when his days are over, much like Robe.

Basketball will soon have to pull it's share of the load with finances it should easily be the #2 sport for generating revenue yet it's 3rd maybe 4th.

Much like Hud the record or lack of success will not get Marlin fired the ROI will

We already understand this. We just don't agree with it.

I don't think Maggard will sit on his hands and let Marlin ride off into the sunset 10 years down the road.

Everyone except for the CFO.
We are missing big money opportunities with this basketball program. Money we need and would be depending on, if we’re lucky enough to get into a real conference.

Neither do I agree with UL decisions. But I’m never asked anything by T Joe, or Maggard except for additional dollars.

According to Mike, he's more than willing to give him as much time as he can outside of a couple of catastrophic years to attempt to make that next step. I don't think Marlin is going anywhere anytime soon.
