We just hired a new basketball coach for almost 400K a year, do you think the next football coach will not get a hefty raise as well?

Rest assured. If there needs to be a change in coaching staffs after this season,

1) It will happen

2) The new staff will make considerably more money

3) The RCAF will get this done

Any other questions?

We will have a new AD and possibly a new football regime that should finally change the perception of UL to the average fan and to the country. Just like in basketball, we wanted our team to win, but we didn't win and look how things turned out with the Marlin hire. I am willing to forego a bowl game for that to happen in football. We deserve better. _

I could not disagree with you more. I want the team to win.
Also, as a fan of UL I don't think I DESERVE anything, but that type of attitude is pretty prevalent in our country today.

I've been supporting UL football for over 30 years. The city of Lafayette, the Acadiana area, the students and alumni (myslef included) and the fans of UL do deserve something better than we are being given. We've put in the time, money and blood, sweat & tears for this school over the years. It is time for a positive change in football. We are seeing it in every other sport.

Agreed.

It cannot be said enough.

We aren't going to Todd Berry the next hire.

Les Miles may be available soon.:D

I am right there with you HC, as I expect most Cajun fans are. The one thing I do want to point out is that we NEVER were put in a position to succeed until the last few years. Dr. A did a great job with our university for academics but he was very wary of doing so in athletics. Dr. T-Joe is changing this, as is our RCAF.

WE WILL GET BETTER NOW! THINGS ARE CHANGING POISTIVELY!

I only say that because as long-time suffering fans, we have to understand things are different now BUT that also means we are starting at level zero and working up. That does mean we are much farther behind other schools we felt equal with only 10 years ago (i.e. S.Miss, E. Caroliina, Tulsa, etc.). We do have a great work ethic here, we do more with less AND NOW we are putting together our money (RCAF) and a visionary plan (T-Joe, Davidl Walker and Scott Farmer). So we are putting everything in place to catch up and compete with these teams again. But to be fair, the clock was reset to zero a year ago - I know that means having patience, which we are all running low on, but there is no doubt in my mind we are headed in the right direction. As long as RCAF continues to gain new members and grow, we will grow athletically!

Not too many people are happy with how we won against North Texas. But let's take something positive out of it; last year that game was against FIU and we lost it - this year we win it, that is a step in the right direction!

Is it still correct that Bustle is one of the 5 lowest paid coaches in college football?

So you think paying him more would vastly improve our team and move us up into the top 25? Not.

No but you get what you pay for.
