Robichaux receiving bonuses for UL's big season

[CajunRage]

He is interviewing for another job

Has it been confirmed that he is formally interviewing? All I've read is that he will listen to what they have to say. I've listened to what a lot of people had to say with no intention of taking the job.

SHSU released a candidate list and he was on it. Kendall Rogers and aaron fitt reported it.

Think of the income a top-10 attendance ranking brings.

Think of the value in keeping the program relevant.

Think of the average SBC attendance and pay Robe and staff the difference.

When people got on my case last year for suggesting we shouldn't be spending money on a football stadium expansion we don't really need, this is what I was talking about.

That 6 million dollars could have helped pay Deggs enough to not make him want to go looking elsewhere.

There is no easy shell game when it comes to spending funds and cross checking sports.

My gut says pay the man, then, still not a guarantee if HC is his goal.

Stadium upgrade has benefits no matter the coaching carousel.

Jay, I heard rumors. Is there any weight to a possible coach in waiting status for Deggs?

Absolutely not.

I think the easiest way to have a level headed approach is to look at Athletic Budgets and see how we compare. If you only make $1,000 a month, you can't spend $1,100 a month. I know we need a fund raiser. I know we need increased donations right now. The fact is, they aren't there yet. Hopefully, these coaches see what is happening here and if they stick it out, they will be rewarded. You can't compare to 10 ten attendance schools. Those are SEC/Big12/Pac12 schools with budgets 10x's as much as ours. If someone writes a check, by all means pay the man. But don't sacrifice the big picture. Be competitive with the budget we have. Continue to grow it and when we move into a new level of athletic budgets, pay each coach accordingly when they succeed.

[CajunRage]

Absolutely not.

Got it. Thanks.

[CajunRebel]

Stop, please.

With all the crap I got from you and others for saying our money could be better spent, you'd better believe I'm going to say "I told you so" when we don't have enough money to keep a great coach.

1. Robe's not leaving at this point for more money.
2. Robe will get a raise.
3. Football drives the bus.

It's not about having enough money. It's about the guy wanting to be a head coach in his home state.
