Stevie P this morning said without saying that he would fire Bustle. Jay was traveling today with basketball so he was not on the radio. I missed Scott's announcement by about 5 minutes today.
I think they do a good job of giving an honest opinion regardless of who signs their paycheck.
Looks like the Admins are working overtime on this thread tonight. I am having trouble following along.
For everyone that is ____ed off about retaining Bustle, chew on this for a second. Next year there will be 2 new bowl games (Yankee Bowl and Dallas Football Classic). One is in the New Yankee Stadium and the other will be at the Cotton Bowl, since the real Cotton Bowl is moving to the House that Jerry Built.
That means that if by some miracle, Bustle goes 6-6 and the rest of the country does the same thing they did this year, then we would get into a bowl game.
So in the final year of Bustle's contract, he goes .500 and accidentally backs into the first "real" bowl game in the history of UL football. Guess what that means
NEW CONTRACT!!!!!!!!!!!
And were stuck with him for another 4-5 years. Think about that tonight while you close your eyes and try to sleep. Sweet Dreams!!!!!!!
Dead on. How on earth could recruiting be affected? We are already hauling in bottom 10 classes each year. We will get kids that see an opportunity for early playing time on a D1A team. This will not change until we have some success or have a different recruiting strategy. I bet Bustle's contract will play a small part in the equation.
As for keeping Bustle, I am on the fence. I think he is a terrible recruiter, but a decent coach and fine person. My wish is he changes his recruiting focus and wins the conference next year!
This is a horrible decision by our admin. This coupled with the nonmoves in basketball last year add on to the perception that this admin is clueless and doesn't care. My season tickets will not be renewed next season (not saying I wont go to any games but I am going to go the cheap route and get student escort tickets). Also i finally am in a place to financially give money to rcaf however they won't be getting that either until the admin proves they care as much as I do.
It seems as if this admin is scared to make a move and until they decide that mediocrity will not be accepted nothing will ever change.

It's not the coach's fault we don't win, it's the recruiting? WHO THE F* DO YOU THINK RECRUITS THE FREAKIN SCRUB WIDE RECEIVERS AND TAILBACKS WE HAD THIS YEAR?! Rickey Bustle is a freaking joke and I'm sick of it. I'll go tailgate next year but I will not go into the games.
Its nice to see all the hardcore fans taking the high road. Hard to believe most of you think you are not one in the same with LSU fan.
