New UL football coach (wishlist)

[Cajunsmike]

It’s going to be a cold, blue world for some of you if we don’t get another coach. I have trouble seeing UL coughing up the money. Look at the dissatisfaction expressed toward the basketball program and how long he’s been there.

Basketball has not won at a level needed to maintain strong interest from the community. However they have had 4 winning seasons in a row while Football is likely to have 3 straight losing seasons. Football leadership is a greater concern.

DC Tim Rebowe. We can pay him more than Nicholls. He is a great recruiter and he knows defense.

It's not always about the money.

Head Coach Will Hall. He can be the OC as well just like Leach.

No need to recreate the wheel or stop the presses. When troy hired Neal Brown they didn't set the world afire with the news, but now people are mentioning Troy as a top G5 program and Brown as the #1 candidate for a couple of upcoming SEC jobs.

When Hud leaves, if Coach Hall hasn't been hired away yet, the promotion to HC is a no brainer.

Don't see Rebowe leaving a head coaching position for coordinator position at UL...maybe a bigger school ranked in the top 25.

He’s a much better HC than he was a position coach.

Marlin does not alienate a majority of his fanbase by saying stupid ____ .. and his players rarely get in trouble

That is very true. My biggest issue with Bobby Big fish is that we do not win enough and out scheduling sucks.

He's a much better HC than he was a position coach.

And in reality, he's about where he belongs (for now). I'd like to see him back at UL helping with recruiting... but I don't see a likely path back for him.

managing 10 players is different from 80-90 to manage. Marlin has killed BB!

Come on! Killed? I like the path Marlin and the B-ball team are on. Good players coming in with a challenging schedule this year. It's gonna be a lot of fun this year in the dome!

No we don't need a splash. It's not about winning the press conference. It's about finding someone who can win.

I completely disagree. This programs fan base is gone, depleted. Excitement must be generated with the next hire to bring some of those people back. Yes, he must be able to coach and recruit as well.

Splash only works on press conference day. If we'd hire Les over a competent coach bc it was a splash I'd quit and focus on baseball.

Hire the best coach regardless of name. Wins will bring more fans than a splash ever would.

You’re wrong imo. We need a really good coach. A guy who can outcoach the opposition. We done need another ra ra name guy.
