Coach Edwards

[Hammer58]

It has everything to do with the point at hand. We don't even know if they were let go or left on their own. Right duggie? This thread is now 4 pages long and one of the biggest pieces of evidence is still unknown.

Bull____! The point you made was that their ability to absorb the loss of compensation made the failure to deliver by the admin acceptable.

he Louisiana-Lafayette football team added two more positions to its vacancy list when it decided not to bring back defensive line coach Tim Edwards or outside linebackers coach Matt Wallerstedt.

That article says nothing more than what we already know.

But still..
Am I the only one that has a big problem with Hudspeth declining to say anything about what's happening? 4 coaches leaving and not a word?

Not trying to justify anything. Just wondering how all of you know exactly what happened when we don't even know how they exited.

If its his choice.. then its up to him to comment. If it isn't, what can he say? Kind of in a pickle.

1 coach left mid season for personal reasons
1 coach left for a head coaching job
1 coach leaving that wasnt really here
1 coach let go for unknown reasons at this time...edwards is the only explanantion we dont have really

Didn't say we know exactly what happened, but looking at the pieces of the puzzle we do know about and one of them is the failure of the AD to deliver on compensation for some "expenses" that was paid in the past and promised again this year. That was detailed in Buckley's article. CajunT relayed the dissatisfaction that was causing among the coaching staff. Even if that is not the reason for Edwards' departure it is still a disturbing trend in this athletic department that is not good for the program.

The only situation that's solid is Rebowe. Personal reasons is a generic "reason" and could be spin. Taking on Matt W and his baggage was definitely a calculated move by Hud. Why fully hire him if you're going to turn around and let him go at the end of the season (Hud or admin)? Something not jiving there. And Edwards falls into the same narrative. Seems too much smoke not to be some sort of fire.

Maybe we can't afford wallerstedt? He might have a better gig lined up.he was a DC at a big 12 school...drastic pay difference being a position coach here. Willis could have double his pay as a position coach and he is our DC. Saunders personal reasons are just that, personal.

IF this is found to be true, RCAF members have to speak up. Coaching circles are very small and tight knit (and the top tier group is even smaller). If the idea that our AD is screwing coaches over is permeating through those cirlces, it's a death sentence for our program guys. And I'm not talking about in the Hud era. Because as soon as Hud leaves this town, we will be dead in the water on the coaching front.

I assume nobody else does because the question has been asked multiple times and no one has answered. Were they fired or did they quit?
