non-bcs coaches rankings

[CajunNation]

You are exactly right Z. He took over a program that had 36 scholarship athletes. That is 50 below the maximum number allowed and it took him 6 years to get to 86 schollies. He also took over a program that has never had a stretch of 5+ years in a row of winning seasons.

I wanted him gone after the McNeese debacle, but he is slowley turning this program around and making it a respectable football program. 6-6 does not suck in non BCS football. Are we where I think we should be? No, but we are not that far off.

It would be foolish of any Cajun fan to expect UL to win more than 8 games per year no matter how good we are. We would still have to play the big boys like LSU, Texas, Nebraska and schools like that will beat us 99% of the time.

7-5 or 8-4 with a bowl appearance is about as high as we can shoot for and still be realistic. I think Bustle has built this program to where we are very close to achieving that. Once that happens we should start to win the recruiting battles for the local 3 star athletes that choose to go to other programs.

Blah, blah, blah.


Worst winning percentages in Cajun history (19 coaches)

#16--Rickey Bustle(0.39--7yrs)'02-'09
#17--T.F. Wilbanks(0.38--6 yrs)'31-'36
#18--Herbert Tudor(0.20--1 yr)'20
#19--Jerry Baldwin(0.18--3 yrs)'99-'01


What's that? You say that's because he inherited such a bad program? You say he has improved it so much?

'02-'03

7-17 record, 7 BCS games played

'07-'08

9-15 record, 4 BCS games played

The records are virtually identical.

If you do not think this program has improved under Bustle then you are misguided. Did I say he was the savior of UL football? No I did not. But given what he has had to work with it is delusional to expect or even think he could win 8 or 9 games per year.

Hell there was a 10 year stretch were we barely won 25 frickin games period.

By the way Nelson Stokley was the best football coach this program has ever had.

Im donating to RCAF so we can hire the savior of UL football to be the next head coach!!!

We have improved but can Bustle take us to the next level as being a SBC champs? Many have pointed out and proven that we lack funding. I still have my Bustle Up T-shirt in my closet although I might be to big to fit into it today I would be proud to wear at the New Orleans Bowl. After running in terror from Cayenne they might have to run in terror from me. The Belt is not a great conference to try and make predictions. We all suck. So save the negative stuff until mid point of the season. You will know the time is right when I lead the charge. Until then lets enjoy the baseball, softball, tennis and ping pong we can.

If the "Peter Principle" applies to Bustle next year, he will be out and a replacement will be found. He doesn't have to win the conference, but does have to win at least 7 games and go to a bowl for improvement enough to retain him, IMO. If he is let go, the program will certainly be significantly better than when he got here. I hope he proves that he can take us to the next level. If he doesn't, he will surely have been given enough time, 8 years, in which to do so. We'll just have to wait and see how next season turns out.

I think it don't "Matter Principle" applies here. We are stuck so we best make the best of it until it falls apart.
