So, if he is in and he has been chosen and bumping around town, how does anyone not know who he is?

RB, what does he look like?

was the talk of frank scelfo just rumors or is that also not being announced?

I met the new guy in the UL Bookstore on Tuesday............I think its a done deal, just not announced yet..........

I am not an expert by any means, however someone told me that the coaches who were released are not officially off of the payroll until December 31st. I was told that the State does not allow 2 people to hold down the same job at the same time. Therefore, the new folks can't be officially hired until after the ex-coaches contracts are expired. I don't know if this is the actual truth, but it would seem to make sense. Just my 2 cents!

It is my understanding that the only coach in football that has a contract is Bustle. All of the other coaches serve at the pleasure of the University. If the ones released are kept on until the end of the year, I would imagine it is again at the please of the University.

Keeping in mind that this is what you were told...

I seem to recall Bustle being hired and announced while Baldwin wasn't officially off the payroll for another year.

I might be nitpicking but I think the press release announcing the 4 firings would negate the perception of 2 people holding down the same job.

Frank Scelfo and Kevin Fouquier should be announced by next week. Scelfo is finishing details on his previous contract. Fouquier was offered more money by Fl, but should still be solid to come back home. No other coaches named...and....as of today, not all of the four dismissed coaches have secured new jobs. Best wishes to them, and good luck to our two new additions.

Turbine you are correct, but wasn't the final year of Baldwin's contract "Bought Out"? That, I think, would be the difference. However, I am not in a position to know these things for sure.

Charlie,

I'm sure you are probably correct. However, I would tend to believe that although Bustle announced that 4 coaches were being released he would at least let them collect another paycheck or 2 before being completely without pay. I'm only saying this because of his past relationship with those guys. However, maybe that is not the case.

Merry Christmas to you and Mrs. Charlie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
