Christophel, Pry, Crist, and Sims let go by Bustle

[LARaginCajun]

We get Darrell Dickey, Jack Bicknell, and Chris Scelfo as asst.. With Rickey Bustle as Head Coach.

Talking realistically I think they need that guy from Northside High School to come in and coach some of these players. He turned that Football team around, and I am sure Northside High is probally not the easiest place to coach.

He was complaining a while back that either bustle, the oc, the dc, or maybe all, i don't remember. I told him that unless he could come up with a viable candidate to replace him, then he should leave the topic alone and get over it. coker and Shula were two of his candidates and he named a bunch of other people like John L. Smith and such that were just totally out of our league.

I simply copied and pasted a list of coaches available. Think big and you never know. Idaho got a named coach! I would rather get someone young and trying to make a name for himself. A clone of Sean Peyton would do.

Check this out you get Darrell Dickey, Jack Bicknell, and Chris Scelfo. With Rickey Bustle at the helm that would be a all-star coaching staff, made up of all Division I-A head coaches that do not have a job.

Huh???????

It might not be a bad idea that Bustle pull a double shift HC and OC, and invest the money in a heavyweight DC for the next year. Then, take the time to select an upstart protege OC that fits the mold Bustle is looking for. Saban, a defensive guru got Jimbo Fisher, a strong OC... and then picked Will Muschamp (Jimbo's suggestion) as DC to learn and enforce the style Saban wanted on defense. That worked pretty well.

It seems like Bustle would want an OC that has the energy and drive to succeed, but wants to learn from Bustle's years of experience.

I have no idea how these coaching searches go. With the exception of the DC, we are slated for young, eager candidates, with limited, but eye-catching experience. The carrot for these guys is... "if you come to UL and win, the budget will go up, your salary will go up, and your stock will go up". UL is still in one of the largest untapped markets in the US. This area is loyal to its own, but wants to affiliate with a winner. If UL puts a high-end product in Cajun Field, it's gonna get scary.

If you're going to quote me, at least be accurate.

I said that Coach Bustle would not, nor should not be fired.
I did not say anything about the assistants.
Someone else at the station did.

And the correct quote on the Saints was "ZERO" chance.
