MEREDITH AND I ARE STILL CHASING THE RAINBOW. IT'S CALLED A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. WE JUST WANTED THE CHANCE TO TRY IT. NOTHING MORE NOTHING LESS.

UNIVERSITY STEPPED UP BIG TIME FOR US AND ACTUALLY OFFERED US MORE THAN WE ASKED FOR TO STAY HERE AT UL. DR. A. WAS THE ONE WHO SAID ROUND OFF THE FIGURE AND GIVE THEM MORE. DAVID WALKER IS A GREAT MAN, A MAN OF INTEGRITY AND A MAN I'M HONORED TO CALL MY FRIEND. HE IS A COACHES A.D.. I HAVE NO DOG IN THIS FIGHT ANYMORE, YOU JUST NEED TO KNOW THIS. THE COACHES HERE LOVE DAVID WALKER AND WANT HIM TO STAY AS LONG AS HE WANTS. DR. A. PUT HIM THERE SO MAYBE HE SHOULD GET SOME CREDIT TOO. BE CARFUL OF WHAT YOU WISH FOR, YOU MIGHT GET IT.

PEOPLE WHO ARE DIE-HARD RAGIN CAJUN FANS HAVE A SPECIAL PLACE IN OUR HEARTS, WE LOVE THEM AND FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS (MEREDITH AND I) WOULD LIKE FOR ALL OF THEM TO KNOW THAT IT HAS BEEN A HONOR AND A PRIVILEGE TO COACH THE RAGIN CAJUNS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LOUISIANA AT LAFAYETTE.

j. kelley you missing my point. i know you could of stayed here forever. i was telling the other poster that they went on to bigger and better things what did you want them to do stay here another 20 years and not improve there financial being and there coaching aspirations. Im not dogging you at all you made the right decision. Life is about moving up the ladder professionally and financially. You did both when you signed with Cincy..

[headragincajun]

_ Sorry, I stand by it. When the decision for the Hall's to become co-head coaches was announced, J.Kelley Hall announced EVERYTHING would be equal. It's just a fact. Like I said, what truly bothered me was that Bill Danmuth left very soon after for a lesser position at another school. That says a lot. These are not personal remarks on the Halls, just points that show that this job, like most jobs for college coaches, was nothing more than a stepping stone. I just feel badly for the players left behind. Having said this, this was a well-coached team. I'm sure they'll do fine in Cincinnati. _

GSIBILLE:
Wasn't going to go here but I think the people have aright to know the truth on Bill Damuth (who I still talk to everyday and just sent him a recruit that didn't make her test score). Bill was the Associate Head Coach here (highest level he could go as an asst. coach). Bill left to go work for 1. his best friend. 2. a 20,000 dollar pay raise. 3. to be close to his family (mom and dad) 20 minutes away. 4. to be close to his wife Machelle's family (she was raised in athens,tx and went to school 2 blocks from where Bill now works) 5. he was promised the head caoching job there and it was put in writing when his best friend leaves. Other than that, Bill would still be here. JUST SO YOU KNOW. AMAZING WHO RUMORS GET STARTED.

Coach it's obvious that you care. All of your effort is appreciated (including taking the time to come on this forum). Thank you for coming on during the previous seasons and keeping us up to date. Your passion will be missed; hopefully it can be duplicated with our next head coach. I'm hoping you have some recommendations for Dr. A. and Mr. Walker.

Thanks again and good luck. I hope you get to cut down that net!

Coach we are going to miss you (and Family) you are the best.

Chase that rainbow and win. You know all of the sudden there is a pocket of Cincinnati fans down here is Cajun Country.

We will miss you.

Thanks for everthing you did.

Coach, thanks for everything you did for our University. The only thing I am upset about is that I didn't get to do the interview for an article on the Scout forum. Maybe you can give me one when you win your National Championship at Cincy.

[JamesCajun]

Hi all, new to the board. Hope you can handle another new voice around here! :P

Was just wondering on what everyone's opinion is on who the new coach should be?

_Life is about moving up the ladder professionally and financially.

I would have to disagree with that statement.......and it has nothing to do with the Halls decision.

You are wasting your time. Coach Hall mistook him for a fan. Coach Hall is a class act, and he didn't know to whom he was replying (or he wouldn't have).

Disagree all you want......

My personal favorite from around the area is Michael Bari. He took a relatively new program over in Eunice (LSU-Eunice) and brought them to their first above .500 season in that programs history. And if you are worried about his recruiting skills, in his first year with a team consisting of ONLY his recruits, they went 27-5 and finished 4th ranked in the nation.
