Marlin Extension? After 2 years?

[I_Bleed_RED]

Can anyone list the quality losses as well as ONE quality win so far in his tenure?

We don't even have a quality schedule to get excited about. If you are on the let's keep it at under 2K crowd so you can drive in five minutes before the start of a horrically boring contest against another nobody team & be beck home within five minutes of most likely losing said contest ( check 30-31), then this is your man for sure. At elast give him another season to prove whether he is even worth keeping much less extending another season, much less more than that.

We upset Central Florida last year. I'd call that a pretty quality win. And we went on an 11 game winning streak 2 years ago wich included some impressive wins over some of the top teams in the Sun Belt that year.

How about the fact he had the balls to do the right thing? I would have given him the extension the day he stepped up. To answer your question further...

When he made the decisions he did, we knew he was setting back his timetable. By giving him the extension you show you support those decisions as well and will not count a bad year because of these decisions against him. That will help the recruiting backlash and make a statement that the school believes it hired the right guy.

Biggest crock of crap I ever heard. So the coach needs an extension as a recruiting tool because it tells the players he is recruiting that they can take all the time they need to develop so they can take their time & not have any pressure on themsleves which will in turn do what? Give them the sense of urgency to work as hard as they can to become the best team possible ASAP? Bull crap. How about this for an incentive? DO YOUR JOB OR GET FIRED! If this guy has to have a two, three, four year or longer extension to do the job he ought be doing now, then how self-motivated is he to begin with? You have been getting away with this kind of loser reasoning WAY FAR too long without your reasoning being checked. The socialist way of providing a failure proof net is a one way ticket to failure. This guy needs to prove he deserves an extension before giving him one. PEROID!

EDIT: As far as the school proving it made a decision to hire the right guy. If that decision wasn't the right decision to begin with (IE a mistake) then why compound that bad choice with another by giving a guy who turned out to be the wrong guy more rope to hang the administration along with himself?

We don't have no where near the talent we had two years ago. Its going to be a long season buddy. I hope I am wrong. We are a long ways from the days of Brad, Orien, Dwayne and Chris. Those guys were fun to watch.

And what was the end result of that work by those players? You did what? You allienated ALL those guys & then replaced them with who? Now you want an EXTENSION!? Oh yeh, one extension coming right up.

I've already figured out that the school has made it's decision to extend him, or else there wouldn't be a breaking story about him being extended. I will state for the record that I think it is compounding one mistake with another MISTAKE. One being made trying to improve the status of your school, being totally understandable. The other being you realize you may not have the right man for the job & still showing your arrogance by compounding that honest mistake by a fool hearty decision.

Well, many of them graduated the following year. Only two of those guys were "alienated"

I never said we did have the talent. He just asked to give one quality win during the Marlin tenure. So I did.

This was the administrations stance with Robert Lee, Rickey Bustle, and Errol Rogers.

The difference being -when the extensions were offered- none of them had close to a .500 career record at UL.

Check the record. I believe your numbers are skewed a little. Furthermore, how many alleged felons will be given scholarship offers only to have them rescended by the AD in the future? My position is strictly this. PROVE YOU ARE WORTHY before I/WE commit any mor money to you. Nobody has reasoned yet as to why this is necessary without that reasoning being totally flawed.

And how did that work out for the school? Are any of those coaches there still? With the exception of hiring HUD, which had absolutely nothing & I MEAN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with continuing to extend Bustle, did it do ANYTHING to make the school more productive or competitive? If so, would someone please provide a list?
