Me hearing "entire staff back in tact & Only one in FBS.....
Me on Aug 30: "That is pretty cool....should be a clear strength in our conference"
Also me on Nov 9: "Good Lord, we just lost to 2 ESPN bottom feeder teams in 5 days.....time to clean house"
Nothing will be done in relation to CMD's employment here until after the stadium is finished.Quote:

2 biggest problems we have now are lack of discipline and play calling. Those are fixable, but this administration will not go through another HC search and hire before the stadium is done.
Correct. CMD needs to focus all of his energy on discipline building and recruiting.Quote:

The problem for Martin Hall is that those fans also create expectations. Expectations that money donated through RCAF to help pay for coaches, ACTUALLY goes to coaches, not get raided by the university to fund some horse s*** on main campus.
Vic is MIA this morning, this much “negativity” would make his tiny little brain explode.Quote:

If we keep Bob Marlin for 10+ years, accomplishing very little, and he had no ties to our programs, then we are not going to get rid of a former Ragin Cajun QB turned Coach that was a pretty good QB and was raised 30 miles down the road.
The real issue is WHAT WAS THE JUSTIFICATION TO GIVE HIM A 5-YEAR, $3.8 MILLION CONTRACT? His base is $755,000/year even if they win zero games. He had less actual coaching experience than most high school coaches in our state. His salary should have been $100K/year at the most.
Exactly how I feel about both football and basketball.Quote:

Thank God we have good softball and Water Ski teams!
When Dez was hired, I was disappointed. The reason was that I did not think he was ready to take the reins. I felt that it was unfair to him and the program to be tossed into the fire before he was ready. I had hoped he would succeed, but I had serious doubt. It was not because I thought he was not capably; it was because I felt he needed some more experience. I had hoped he would have an opportunity to get it. Even if he could have been a coordinator or an FCS coach for a while, it would have been helpful.
My feelings have not changed. He will probably get at least another year or two to right the ship though. It is a bad situation for the staff, the program and the fans. He was not set up to win.
This is simply not the case about baseball. The program has steadily improved over the years since Deggs has arrived.Quote:
