What makes you think Robert Lee will not be back?

_ Nice try, but the season is bad enough that you don't have to make up facts to why we lie.

Neither UNO or Centenary is Division III yet, so that is not the problem. _

Not yet but they will be soon and when soon comes, this team will not beat them.

I am shocked that ANYONE who is a Cajun fan is unaware that the current season is the last on his current contract. If he is let go the day after the season ends, the university will not owe him an additional dime. I do imagine

I don't see why they don't get rid of him now and let lebato attempt to make things better for this year. It wouldn't cost the school any extra money and obviously, it couldn't hurt the team from a win-loss perspective. The only negative i could see would be from recruiting standpoint, but honestly, i don't think that matters at this point. Im curious as to how he would coach this team still having a majority of conference games left.

What you are saying makes sense. However, from all indications, the admin does not want to lend any more uncertainness to an already fragile situation. I think they've decided already what will happen and are gearing up for a change. However, further distractions could create a circus for which I don't think they want any part of. I also don't endorse the whole Lebato thing. Its hard to justify putting a coach, only a few years removed from high school coaching, in charge of a situation that is already tough on everyone. Maybe if there was someone that they'd consider hiring as the next head coach sitting on the bench, they might do something on an interim basis. Then again, there are probably some fans that might go back to the dome to see what this team would do with different coaching and leadership...I don't know, I'm talking in circles so I'll stop....

You have to admit that UL, Centenary and UNO make a great core for a new Div. III conference. Let's get Mobile to join and we are almost there. Just maybe, UL would be competitive in basketball, although we already lost to Mobile and Centenary and will likely lose to UNO (they already beat Tulane). Just think, no more budget woes, our current average attendance of 1,500 for men's basketball would lead a Div. III conference, and we would have the best Div. III facilities in the country. Current RCAF funding would likely be all that is needed. Our AD and President wouldn't have to worry about anything athletically again, which doesn't seem to be much on their radar anyway. And, for good measure, let's invite LA College into the new conference, so we can continue our rediculous identity problem. And, best of all, everyone could then support LSU football.

4-3 in conference.

3 wins in the past 4 games.

Lee will be back. UL will say it is because of "team growth, yadayadayada"

I predicted it on January 2, and on January 22 I'm positive it will happen.

Never reward lightening in a bottle.

I have never understood why a pro team would reward a player who performs well in the last year of his contract.

If they win the conference. Otherwise I think he will be gone.

Did you notice UNO's coach said we had the best talent in the SB and should win the league! I do think there will be a change in the coaching unless they go to the NCAA's.

I am positive that you are wrong unless the Cajuns win the conference tournament. That is unlikely due to having to win least three games in three days. Not enough depth for that to happen.

Stranger things have and always happen. Especially in Cajun land.
