Steve Hale Interview

[CajunT]

Our AD has 11/2 years left on his contract and RCAF does not hire AD's, that decision will be made by the President of the university.

Or if the board has no authority to replace or even have the slightest influence over Scott Farmer then the biggest requirement for the new guy may be to work along side Scott Farmer.

If for some confidential reason a candidate is projected to be at odds with SF from the start, then he might be disqualified for that reason alone. Just a thought.

I see a golden opportunity for Farmer to push for Hale. He would have a shoulder to lean on in any big decision he feels under qualified for. It's the dream opportunity for anyone trying to be an AD when you don't have the skills to truly be one. This is extremely short sighted by him. He has a golden parachute...and isn't smart enough to realize it.

It still amazes me that Savoie extended his contract for another 2 years with a raise no less. Unbelievable!!!

From an outside view...he has presided over a very successful program. On the inside...the majority of the fanbase can see he is very under qualified to lead this program. I can't fault Savoie for extending him. But I can't see how Savoie expects to move the program forward with Farmer at AD.

I did not listen to the whole thing, but I did hear him speak quite a bit about how the "old conference model" of doing things is coming to an end.

If he did say in another segment that we are who we associate with, then that qualifies as covering his bases. Either the times are changing or the old way of doing things is here to stay. Which is it?

If the conference model of doing things comes to an end... and we have rocked along just like we are doing now... being 'comfortable' ... we will be perceived like??????? Troy, ULM, GaSt .... etc.

If we get proactive now and work to get our associations now with Cincinnati, Memphis, ECU... in 10 years when the conference model fades away we will be perceived like???? Cincinnatti, Memphis and ECU.

Which of those models do you think will better serve us in the new age of college football?

Exactly...

[VObserver]

did they really let that woman's b'ball coach stay thru his contract?

Yes

In one breath you say it's not snarky, and in the very next breath you accuse him of being unintelligent. Do you even realize what you're saying?

I gotta be real honest with you. The way you've consistently bad mouthed fellow Cajun fans and players who didn't do a single thing to deserve it is really sad. I honestly don't know many people here, but I've seen you say terrible things to a handful of fans I do know, some of whom have done more to help this program than you ever could. And they way you've consistently gone out of your way to personally attack our players is equally sad. People like you make me ashamed to be a Cajuns fan.

No, this has nothing to do with Steve Hale or the administration. By all means say what you want about the situation. But maybe you should consider not being so incredibly ugly towards so many good UL fans and players.

I've been called worse by better.

If someone is secure in their position and with their facts they usually don't need to resort to that crap.

And I said several times I will listen to it I just have not yet. I can multi-task a few ragin pagin posts while models run, but I wouldn't be able to listen to an interview and pay attention.
