In spite of the topping out of Ricky, football was saved. I’m forever great-full to Coach Bustle for risking his career for a program in free fall.Quote:

I'm not trying to compare anything outside of onfield success because I know the limitations Bustle was dealt and forced to work with. I just always felt that Bustle couldn't get over the hump and injuries always seemed to derail any type of promising season ( See 2008).Quote:

Yeah he forgot that he’s not playing basketball against the Big Fish and the rest of the SBC Lilliputians.
Well we figured you above all others would be willing to give him some time. Hell, we're giving Marlin 11+ years to see if we can figure it out, Hunter should at least get 3 or 4 right?Quote:

Recruiting at Tulane is different. Don’t see him in that culture.Quote:

Don’t know if he can survive next year. Even a solid year likely not enough. No consistency esp. out of conference anti good teams. I do like the kids he brings in. Just wish they could make shots.Quote:

Just read the thread title and accept it
It happens. H/S I went to lost all 3 QB’s in second game of season one year. Coaching wasn’t an issue.Quote:

Sure hope when the day comes we don’t hire a cheating scumbag like Pitino.
If it’s hire scum or lose, then it’s time to move on to EKL gym and hire nice people for minimum money. But not a half million a year to be honest and mediocre.
But he'd probably win and be gone in a year or two. Probably cheaper than Marlin. And probably the NCAA would come a calling.Quote:

Pitino was cleared of all accusations at Louisville. He also admitted that he would have fired himself if he were the AD since he was in charge.Quote:

Just looked, no players in transfer portal from UL. Eggleston for stAte is in the portal.
Our players love it here.
Also Kashawn Brewton of Coastal Carolina is in the Portal, he was averaging 14.5 PPG at Coastal.
Also a Starter at Little Rock in Jaizec Lottie
Also leading scorer at Troy Darien Adams
I innocently enough asked should ncaa have made a bracket just for fun....answer i got was no, because schools wouldnt want to pay tourny bonus to coaches....ironic it works opposite for us.
Read somewhere might be 2021 football season until fans are allowed.. with the loss of ticket revenue might have to dismiss sports team let's get ride of WBB and MBB try it again a few years down the roadQuote:
