Why are most here acting like we have been a 7-8 win program through our long history. We have never been. We have had a good year here and there. Now we have had a little success and a foundation is being built and most want to destroy it because they think we should win more but none of us are coaches. We were picked 6th and to win 4-5 games. We did better than that. We were up and down. Just like we were when we were breaking in Desormeaux, Fenroy and those other guys. The schedule will be tougher but we will be improved and add Robert Walker to the mix. It is just a game. Enjoy it and don't worry about everyone else. As fans we do that a lot. And we miss what have right under our nose.
This post is pretty much 100% aligned with my thinking. I love Rickey Bustle as a person. He did a great job resurrecting us from a complete dumpster fire to a team that is, for the most part, at least competitive year in and year out. He's recruited some good players and we've had some good years. But I think we've reached the point where what we see is what we're going to get. He's had a few senior classes all the way through their careers now, so this is 100% HIS program, and his program is .500 football. Every year, we get trounced by a couple BCS schools, do well against the mid-major or two that we play, and finish 3rd or 4th in conference because we lose one or two that we have no business losing.
I know the argument of "be careful what you wish for," because as a fan of both the Cajuns and Saints through the 90's, I'm very familiar with the idea of "what I'd give to win half our games." But it's time for us to roll the dice again. We've got some talented pieces, so Rickey is FAR from leaving the cupboard bare, but we've peaked as a program under Bustle.
First off i have nothing to prove to you or anyone else about my knowledge. This is a sports forum and if you don't like opinions stay off the boards. Then you can be alone with your opinion. I stand by my comment and if you have a problem with it, i don't care! Have a wonderful day!

Exactly it is just a forum of opinions. I just happen not to see eye to eye with you. You do care that is why you are here. I love the cajuns so do you. What we think does matter even if we differ on how they should happen. That is why we are blessed to live in America. I'm not ready for change you are. That is black and white. How to win more games now that has many shades of gray.
At the end of the day we just want whats best for the team. If I could i would extend my hand for a hand shake and agree to disagree. I have no clue who you are. But verbal exchange is what makes the internet go. I'm
sorry if I came off that you were clueless or anything like that. I'm just emotional after a up and down season that I think we can make major strides off of. Have a blessed day.
Our 7th win should have come against FIU or FAU.
We're a physically better team than both, but our playcalling killed us in those games.
This team WAS capable of winning 8 games this year.
Next year the schedule is crazy, but if you lose all 4 of those money games and one sunbelt.... you're 7-5. We honestly should be beating every team in the Sunbelt.
No hard feeling at all...a hand shake would be perfect if possible.
No one has every answer are the ncaa would be filled with undefeated teams but coaches or not always the only people who know talent!
I feel most Bustle supporters are worried that if a change is made that we will fall back to below 500. This might not be what your thinking but it is time to take a chance and move thiz progrM to the next level. Without a change i believe you will lose more fans and lead the progrAm further away from a break out year. The time is perfect for a change bc there are a lot of great candidates on the market.
Lets roll the dice!
Once again no hard feelings and geaux cajuns!
