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

[Damon]

wise move

It's like the Saints having a lead in the 4th quarter... I'll wait for 0:00 before I celebrate.

LOL at the 1 year contract. What dolt would take that?!

Either Authement is serious about football or he isn't. He teases us by building a practice facility and spending alot of money on a head coach... then he displeases us by offering a one year contract to a coveted coordinator.

MAKE UP YOUR G.D. MIND RAY RAY!

Be careful folks. Oldman is lurking and will give you all a sound and coherent tongue lashing for your criticism of Dr. A.

I can't believe we let this guy pass through our finger tips! Please tell me it was more than the money!

[Flcajun]

No I believe he meant that he would have gotten 30K less here

I think we just fumbled in the Red Zone.

We need to pony up and outbid Tech.

naaaaah, whats done is done.

Maybe we'll get lucky and RB will just take it upon himself to do Offense this year.

It was only money. More per year, and multiple years. How can you blame the guy?

Thats what I want to see...I want us to get a OC who is more of an assistent OC to Bustle because I like our chances with Bustle calling all the plays

easier said than done considering boise state just won a BCS bowl game

[Clutch0364]

I agree that he is being "Looked At" but I still don't believe LSU or Bama would hire him. The minute anything went wrong, the Ligers and Elephants would go BA-ZURK on the kid. Those programs want SUCESS and they want it NOW. They want PROVEN leaders and they're not about giving "Trial Runs". That's why I say, Come on Down to Laffy Major, gurantee you'll enjoy your stay.

It is only rumor but I have heard applewhite will be at alabama. Only rumor but sometimes rumors come true.

And the main reason UL did not persue the WAC? It would bankrupt the athletic department! You cannot have it both ways either the costs associated with the WAC do not justify the added revenue, or they do. LTU sells no more tickets, and has no larger donations than UL, so why can they and not us?

Got to wonder if we'll ever know the whole story. Did we have an "official" offer on the table? Was there any delay due to the football conference in San Antonio last week? Was Bustle still considering other OC candidates? Did we even know LaTech was considering/offering him? Would that have mattered anyway? That is, could we have upped the offer to get him in here? So who are we looking at now? I have to admin, it was a good sign to have 2 quality/proven coordinators coming in to Lafayette!

[BurninCayenne]

All I know is if these guys are worth their salt and UL insists on pinching pennies by waiting for everyone’s respective contracts to run out we may end up losing these guys.

Jinx

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, REREAD GURU's POST. READ AND COMPREHEND. WE HAVE A PROBLEM. IT'S TIME FOR DR. A AND HIS CRONIES TO GO! FOOTBALL DRIVES THE BUS. IT MAY NOT BE RIGHT, BUT IT IS A REALITY. COACH BUSTLE IS NOT BEING ALLOWED TO BE SUCCESFUL. MAKE YOUR VOICES HEARD NOW, CAUSE ONCE BUSTLE IS GONE.....who will we get. CHANGES NEED TO BE MADE IMMEDIATELY.

What do we do Z? Obviously, every other state school in the nation that prospers in sports, directly or indirectly, prospers in all other university endeavors... including education. Investment in athletics IS investing in education. Is this his beef? I am getting sick of his lack of vision.

Do I think the enormous amount of funds that get thrown into college sports is a highly redeeming action? NO. Do I think that having everyone, including alumni more knowledgable about and more proud of winning sporting events than knowing what academic achievements have been made are redeeming? NO. Do I think you can use sports to build a more credible foundation to launch your research and education pursuits. YES.

And gee... is it all that bad that it would be a whole lot of fun for our students, student/athletes, faculty and admin, alumni and fans? NO!
