Big difference between the numbers 1 and 4 here.

I decided I'm gonna use that basketball season tickets money for golf the next few years until we get a new coach. It's just not fun anymore in an empty arena. ____ is just sad.

How was the school "bound" to give him an extension for 1 good year? Makes the admin look even more inept for putting that in his last contract after 14 years of mediocrity.

A conference championship was an automatic one year extension on current contract. The 3 year contract that Maggard extended after is what people have an issue with although he is taking a pay cut with the buyout being much lower starting next year.

Actually legally obligated per his employment contract.

Read the last sentence. I understand it was in the contract. My point is why would they agree to that? Why would they bind themselves to extending this $#!+show??? 14 years not enough to judge??

The Bob Marlin era has to be the longest, most insignificant period in Ragin Cajuns sports history.

lol it’s called incentives poo poo. That’s pretty much commonplace in all legal contracts throughout sports.

I get that, but he should've been gone a looooooong time ago. I mean, did they think that after 10 plus years, they needed 3 more years to see if he was the guy? And on top of that, that if FINALLY, after all these years, he would happen to have a decent season in his final year, we should extend him AGAIN???? Has it really taken this long for people to see this guy is Milqutoast? Definition of mediocre. Let that go for 14 years and this is what we get. We've hit bottom. It's sad and embarrassing. And they obviously don't care.

Something Marlin had put into his original contract that has somehow, just rolled over and over.
I think it has been to his benifit on 3 different occasions.

Re: Nominate Bob Marlin's Biggest Win
Nobody besides me notices in the dome nobody with a retired jersey since Toney? Not high jacking, seems to coincide with where the program is today.

I think we all get that. But the point is why give a 3 year extension for that type of season especially with his record of mediocrity.

This and the two posts right above NAILED it. This program has been allowed to virtually disintegrate before our eyes. Shame on the Athletics Department for allowing it.

Can’t wait to watch a game next year with 299 fellow fans.

Re: Nominate Bob Marlin's Biggest Win
People need to start seeing what this program can REALLY be. Everytime someone mentions the potentials, there is always someone countering with "we can't." And that is why our attendance average is now under 2,000 per game. Not many people support that type of attitude.

Meanwhile, the excitement over a Southland basketball program in Lake Charles is through the roof this season. I'm sure negative nancies will say things like "But it's the slimy Will Wade" and "It's just one season then he'll be gone".
Fine. Whatever. While I admittedly follow zero basketball, I can't recall in the past 14 years being the kind of excitement in a single season for UL basketball in Lafayette and surrounding parishes as we're currently seeing this season for McNeese in Calcasieu, Beauregard, Cameron and Jeff Davis Parishes.
It can happen here, but it won't be with this current head coach. Sorry.

Hiring a Will Wade over here is way beneath this university as he's such a criminal. How dare we lower ourselves and actually have success. That's the problem around here. Frightened to death to actually do well in something.

It won't happen here as long as the mindset stays the same: bland complacency. Too many people in the program are too comfortable because friendships get in the way of the program. Say what you want about Will Wade. But he knocks on doors, shakes hands, and gets the community involved with support. When was the last time we did that? Heck, the atmosphere in the Cajundome doesn't exist unless they decide to hold the Teacher of the Year Awards like they did for the Southern Miss game which is why attendance was higher that night.
We have to change the way we think when it comes to Cajuns basketball. This whole "we can't because it's hard" attitude is why fans are checking out by the droves and why there is only 500-600 people showing up to games regularly.

Yep, we NEED a Dale Brown type coach handing out nets in the neighborhoods throughout ACADIANA!
