Scelfo Fired at Tulane, ire at UL, hired at Tech

[cajuns67]

Money was definitely the main factor in Scelfo's decision!! You can't offer a guy of his calliber 80,000 a year, an 8-month contract, and free lunch in the cafeteria and expect him to commit here??

Ragin Cajuns athletics looks to be on a downward spiral..............please BASEBALL save us from dropping down to district 6-3A, because with the teams we're putting on the court/field these days, I believe we'd lose to teams such as STM and Northside........maybe even an allstar squad from Franny's day care could take us down to the wire.

Here's an idea, lets hire Desormeaux as our coordinator while he's still playing on scholarship, that way we won't have to pay him................and everyone knows he's always the answer to every problem.

Lastly, I know a couple of heavy eatin buddies of mine who are looking for jobs... I may have them send a resume in because they surely wouldn't turn down free hot plates in the union!

Thanks for your time

count me in for free lunch

Boys and Girls. Listen carefully.

He does not care about football.


Can I put it any more simply than that?

So we just need to suck it up, and lump it.

1) Louis Cook. Give the man what he wants.


2) Clint Conque. http://www.ucasports.com/sport.asp?s...bio&staffid=17

3) Anybody else.

One place to look could be Tulsa.

UL’s football staff is searching for an offensive coordinator once again. Former Tulane offensive coordinator Frank Scelfo, Cajun head coach Rickey Bustle’s top candidate for the UL position, informed Bustle Monday that he was withdrawing his name from consideration and accepting the same post at Louisiana Tech.

“He felt like he got a better deal,” Bustle said. “We thought he was solid, but it’s a lot like recruiting and verbal commitments. Guys change their minds.”

Tech’s athletic department officially announced Scelfo’s hiring Wednesday evening. The Monroe News-Star is reporting in today’s edition that the 47-year-old Scelfo will earn $150,000 in the Bulldogs’ post. Tech recently named former LSU and Miami Dolphins assistant Derek Dooley as head coach.

Efforts to reach Scelfo on Wednesday were unsuccessful.

Bustle said that Scelfo had verbally accepted the Cajun position in December, filling the first of four vacancies on the UL staff. Bustle had dismissed four staff members — offensive coordinator Rob Christophel, defensive coordinator Brent Pry, wide receivers coach Brian Crist and cornerbacks coach Terry Sims — on Dec. 11 following the Cajuns’ 6-6 season.

“He had taken it early,” Bustle said of Scelfo. “It’s like when you have recruits. You always feel better when you get them on campus.”

Scelfo was at Tulane for 11 seasons, the last seven as offensive coordinator, and guided the careers of current NFL quarterbacks Shaun King, Patrick Ramsey and J.P. Losman. The New Iberia native was fired by the Green Wave after the 2006 season along with his brother and Wave head coach Chris Scelfo.

Bustle has filled one of the four staff vacancies with Franklin native Kevin Fouquier taking over as defensive coordinator. Fouquier arrived in Lafayette Wednesday.

“He had taken it early,” Bustle said of Scelfo. “It’s like when you have recruits. You always feel better when you get them on campus.”

With zero inside info I can't help but think this change of mind on the part od Scelfo was due to no paper work being done in a timley manner for Scelfo to sign. No contract to sign 4 weeks after the verbal? Tech had theirs ready in half a week.

I mean it took "7" months for Martin Hall to do the paper work for coach Hall to be resigned. come on.

No one likes to be held in limbo.

Yeah. Basically, he would be co-offensive coordinator with OL coach from the Houston Texans is the rumor. And I bet Applewhite will take the job and move on in two or three years to Texas to position himself for the HC job there when Mack Brown retires.

Thank You Sir...I heard he is interviewing in the next day or 2

Ha, HA!!!! Turbine, is this speculation, or do you have some.....inside? Never mind, I reread your post...hhhmmmm could be!!!

There's his e-mail address as posted on louisiana.edu. I don't suspect that if you e-mail him and ask him to retire, that he will, but if you think you got a shot, go ahead and do it. Also, if anyone wants to use force to physically remove him from office, I shook his hand at graduation a few weeks ago and I'm pretty sure i can take him all by myself, while you guys are distracting his secretary.

Other than that, can we impeach him or something? Is he impeachable? Can we start a petition? I imagine its not that easy since its not an elected office, but an assigned position. Somebody call Joe Savioe and tell him to just show up on Monday morning and be sitting at Ray's desk when he gets there. He'll get the idea and then walk back home.

I like it. Heck, I'll even give him the ride home. If the secretary needs a lift, I'll drop her off on the way. Just let me know when.

I'm furious if the excuse for not catching Scelfo is due to procrastination, coupled with stingyness.

What is done is done as far as Scelfo goes. My concern now is does Bustle have other credible candidates? My first inclination was to go for the strongest DC out there we could get. I like Fouquer's attitude and history. As for an OC, I was believing that we are not in a position to go grab a heavyweight, so why not get a younger upstart with tons of energy, some proven track record as a QB coach and a background under some great OC, and if all else fails, surely Bustle has enough OC experience to tidy things up.

I don't want to hammer on Scelfo, but why with 11 years as an OC at Tulane, with some paramount years, wasn't he more in line for a HC position? Is he really all that we were trying to crack him up to be? Oh, and if I were Tech, I wouldn't be that crazy about Derek Dooley. I could say more, but I will leave it at that.

I saw him at Albertsons a couple of days ago and he looked pretty worn out. Who knows how long he'll last in his position. He's been catching a lot of hell in the last couple of years...I decided to do something about the funding and inquired about a donation from the company that I work for and guess what...they're going to donate. I propose that everyone else do the same and specify where you want the money to go. By the way, I don't work for a small company.

Any chance of getting one of these guys? Would we want any of these guys are would it be better to go with a young hungry guy with something to prove?

I was checking out this rivals list last night when I heard about Scelfo. I have no inside knowledge of who out of the dismissed OCs would be a good fit, and a potential taker. When I first heard of Bustle letting the 4 staff go, I was thinking more in terms of a young upstart at OC. I like the idea of a guy who wants to earn his wings, more than a guy who has some wings (with many feathers missing) coming in here and "giving it a shot". There has to be someone out there that has some talent, but hasn't had a chance to show it off.

One exception to my thinking... I do like the idea of Loui Cooke coming back.
