Time for a NEW Coach who can rebuild.
Ok I am a former Ragin Cajun who had to move out the state for my job but will be coming back soon and family members are big fans of the Cajuns. I think when you look at rebuilding programs you need to remember it will take time. The only reason I'm posting is I have been on hiring committees at several Universities and been involved in several conferences. I think Scott needs to look at the big picture! You have to get a Coach that has a proven track record of handling the pressure of not winning right away. We have to realize that nobody is going to be able to get TOP recruits this late in the game to have immediate success. Recent posts have mentioned several good Southland coaches, UCA Coach who took over a nice program, Brooks Donald who didn't have to rebuild from the ground up and without Broadhead helping to keep the twins happy would not have been so successful, DoBee at Nicholls who has had to build but she never moved to Thibodaux. Don't you want someone to come in and live in your community?
I like the idea of bringing in someone outside Louisiana. Someone who could give us a fresh new look in the community and on campus. We definitely need someone with head Div. 1 coaching experience. I have gotten to follow the Southland Teams for the last few years. Something pretty amazing has happened at Sam Houston State University. Not sure if the Coach would leave since she is an Alumni. I think she would be one to take the challenge when you look at her record of what she had to do to rebuild SHSU. Maybe Scott needs to talk to Coach Marlin since he came from SHSU.
We need someone quickly I look forward to continuing my support of the Ragin Cajuns
