Nikita Johnson leaves Marlin's staff

[CajunRed]

thought it was a huge hit when he left the Tech staff. He was one heck of a recruiter. hard to believe he's used up his usefulness in two seasons.

Doesn't concern you.

[playincajun]

No one is to blame. It will take Marlin three or four years to get HIS people and HIS players in place. Nikita just didn't work out. Seems to be a fairly common occurrence for the guy.

His people: he brought his staff in with him. So who are his people. His players: he has final call on all recruits. Only had one recruit last year not his player and he is gone. So now he's getting rid of his people to bring in more of his people. SMH. Nikita recruited Josh Brown and Kadeem Colby seemed to me like they were pretty good recruits.

Multiple players forced out, now moving on to coaches... who's to blame? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

First take a couple of seconds. If he were doing the job he was hired to do well would Marlin really want to run him off?

A couple of the guys asking for passes were Johnson players who were not making much of a difference. We need those scholarships for productive players. Pancake did not want here, JJ just went nuts because he was not playing as much while eing injured and ineffective, Ramon was a prolem for two years, Wallace failure was on his academic consoltant who everybody here lauded.

Look at it this way, Marlin is struggling, no excuses here, but a lot of it may simply be the perfect storm. He is not getting canned at UL in 2012-13 for anything less than NCAA issues. So he needs to do OK this year, but in his fourth year he needs a really solid season. I am buying my tickets the first day they come out, I hope to improve my seating due to apparent lack of love being showed by current fans.

I blame TJoe and Scott Farmer for not doing enough and sitting on their hands.

I saw the players play ... I thought it was a MAJOR accomplishment to finish at .500 ... when ULM demolished us they were by far the more impressive collection of players. Coach Marlin was able to win with a sub-par team; he gave Coach Johnson the reins in recruiting and it did not work out. This will work itself out ... and UL will be the better for it.

He is available . . .

mabye UL-br wil hire him

[playincajun]

Pancake and JJ are Kevin Johnsons recruits. RaYmone was such a problem he wad his starter for two years. Oh and regardless who recruiter is HEAD coach has final say on who gets scholorships. It's called fall guys. You can't treat people with disrespect and expect to be respected. Things done in the dark will come to the light and you.will see the real story. Our program is in trouble. If you all think the players we had so far are sub-par you are about to be in awe of new players.

[playincajun]

Oh and you all better look at APR because Men's Basketball is in trouble there too after Robert Lee left the program the best in the conference.

All the cuurrent problems are 1-degree removed from DW/RL era of letting the players run the assylum.

No, it's definitely another consequence of Big Oil, Climate Change and the One Percenters.

[playincajun]

Turbine so who is running the assylum now? Choas theory to pure dictatorship.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Big Oil? We all know they want the oceans to rise. Cajun Field will soon be part of the Gulf of Mexico.
