If the Cajuns don't make it to the NCAA tournament this year what is the consensus on Marlin keeping his job?

Should be fired! He’s had enough time to build this program twice. We also shouldn’t have to luck into the NCAA tourney.

Where is Marlin in his current contract? I don't see UL buying out two coaches contracts in the same year.

I’m not to sure. I’m just sure he won’t get fired. He made too many friends here in Lafayette. That’s all it takes to get a long leash in basketball apparently.

His contract goes through 2020.

You wrote a book to debunk my statement "worthy of an at large bid"!

There have been many Cajun teams worthy of an at large bid. None coached by Marlin. I don't need five paragraphs to express the need to be worthy. We know that the system is fixed, but we haven't played a schedule worthy of at large, and haven't won nearly enough to be worthy.

No argument that we have not won enough for an at large bid.

We should see things clearly by then.

Almost a decade to evaluate a head coach. Same for Hud. Considering the mediocre record of both. So far I can only believe UL simply wants to be average in one of the weakest football or basketball conferences. Nothing to throw my disposable entertainment dollars at. Luckily for UL my devotion to UL is expressed in dollars. Their devotion to me seems to be viewing me as a mark.
