Lost to Nicholls. By 8. Down by 6 at half. O Dear.

Despite shooting 43-percent from the field and 52-percent in the second half, the Ragin’ Cajuns women’s basketball team fell to Nicholls State, 72-64, at Earl K. Long Gym on Thursday night.
I told David Walker when Kelly left about the Nicholls Coach ----Finally got some Schollys at Loyola (very few) and took them to the Natl. Tourn many years in a row ---Started at Nicholls when Rodgers did and well look at the results ---We just need to make a change now and let her or somebody get the job ---BTW I am sure that her 6'5" daughter at LSU would be playing the post for us now!!!! Her 6' 7" son is a junior and considering the Cajuns!!!!
We can do better than her, Boomer.. Meanwhile.....'It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood'.... Welcome to Mr. Rogers neighborhood.
Totally embarrassing.
I would hope this is Rogers' last year. Is his contract up after this year?
Yes... it actually ended last year, but he got a 1 year extension for financial reasons [we were hiring one new coach [Hud]and had just hired another [Marlin].
Just more proof that cheerleaders don't make very good coaches
We have lost to two pretty horrendous teams so far; we were favored in both games.
And it's going to get worse. This team is not reaching 11 wins this season.
11, they lucky to get to 5 wins... Its not saying much for Nichols to beat us. If you wanna win hire the guy thats just got the three best guards in the state to sign with McNeese... U do that and this program is a winner next year. U do that and one of the best shooting guards in the country will return home to play for the Cajuns... You do that and UL will come full circle on every sport having a great Quality Coach...Quote:

About the hiring: for some reason, there simply were not many candidates that fit the profile for what our school normally looks for-previous head coaching experience, college level experience, strong recruiting ties, among other attributes. So the job came down to three candidates: James Hatchell, Errol Rogers and Gary Brodhead. Hatchell had previous D1 head coaching experience, had one year under the Hall system and was Kelley's recommendation to David Walker. David chose not to go with Kelley's recommendation. Errol had two things working in his favor: he had college experience and he had taken recruits from Kelley to go to Mississippi State. Gary had no college experience. There's the reason for the hire.Quote:

Many people will not accept that as an excuse for "not doing your job," (re:the duties of an athletic director to run an athletic program) but, quite simply, that's too bad. Not enough people care about the women's basketball program. I will say that an informal "feeler" was put out to gauge the interest of a specific coach, but she was not interested at the time.
History: check your history. The Dwayne Searle years were ugly. The Errol Rogers years are approaching that level of inadequacy.
Future: there will be a resurgence in this program. It will, unfortunately, take a great deal of time for whoever comes in, but this new staff will have more resources than any previous staff, even Kelley's. I will need to be shown that we can get a coach the caliber of J. Kelley Hall, but time will be the determining factor.
So long, Kelley. See you soon.

I agree T. That son-in-law is something. I like him and I know he can recruit. Spent a lot of time with him when we were in school. Most of all he has a passion for the university. He can walk in any gym in S. Louisiana and we know who he is.
Yo "B" make them seal the deal brother!
Best believe the first person I would hire is the guy from McNeese...
Make the deal...Quote:
