Identity

[Cajun Troll]

Here is the question I am wondering. What is our Return on Investment on the $1MM for firing Coach Hud. How many additional Season Tickets in dollars will we sell next season? How many new donors/increased donations will have? If you can reasonable assume these two amount are greater than the $1MM buyout. You pull the trigger. If not then you need to make a plan for the difference.

I was told the numbers from this season, season ticket sales, tailgate lots, RV lots, concessions, football attire, RCAF memberships for parking passes, etc; will be given to Dr
Savoie at the end of the season. You can start with the facts that season ticket sales were around 7,600 and 200 less parking passes were purchased.

Metry, the two situations are not even close to the same thing, most glaringly, the numbers.
$17 million for a stadium
$1 million for a buyout, in installments.

If you ask me, $1 million for a fresh start in football is a bargain.

And... Metry isn't including the fact that revenues are dwindling under Hud. It is a "fresh start"... but it also places a tourniquet on the revenue bleed.

If I could do it, I would! It would be worth it just to see your reaction when Magic Mike and his tight shirt are gone.

....Damn Cajun T.....what happened between you and Coach HUD? You were helping in recruiting and semi reporting and your posts have turned to hate with name calling and other insults....what happened? But this was mentioned in the past when you went 180....Can you share your feelings???

Boomer, like you and others I got caught up in the hype and winning four straight bowl games. In doing so, I had the opportunity to see inside the daily operations up close and personal. After the NCAA accusations came down, I realized that I was conned by an egotistical sociopath that never takes responsibility for his own mistakes and failures. The next time I see you, we can have a beer and I can talk.

But remember this, the last time you accused me of name calling, hate and using insults it was in your defense of Scott Farmer. You still standing by those accusations?

T We all got caught up in the moment. We all were thirsty and Hud the Dud gave us a drink of water and we all thought it was a gallon. We all bought in and sold our souls to the devil by demanding that piece of ShAT get paid. Well, this snake oil salesman has been revealed as the garabge he is and the lousy recruiter and coach he is. F him. You kill a snake by chopping off his head and Hud is the small head with a very very very very very very tight snake skin. If Hud remains , Ul football will relegated to a bad D3 school. T SLOW better wise up because the rebellion of awaking of the ANTI HUDDERS have began. T SLOW you next. The Ray Ray legacy has to end as the cajun mafia has proved one big fail. F all those bastards.

....T, as always, appreciate your honesty.....as you know I think, I have been around and worked with 3 head guys and they all kinda were almost gone or left and all had some of the schools most success....on the AD I am not that familiar with things other than the baseball deal which I would assume was grounds for termination.....stay positive and I will get you a cold one in NO!!!

I think the softball hire shows that Maggard is serious about the new identity of the Louisiana Ragin Cajuns. It seems most people are impressed with this new coach. Time will tell if success will come as well but Maggard has shown he is not timid about getting rid of those in the way of the athletic program moving forward and finding a well qualified replacement.

I firmly believe he has already been doing behind the scenes work on finding the football coach replacement. I know there are restrictions on who they can contact but I think the softball hire bodes well for the future of the whole athletic program under Maggard. I am encouraged.

To those that think the football coach does not need replacing because we won the homecoming game, that thinking is folly. We should not be underdogs at home against a Sunbelt team for homecoming.

The glory days of Louisiana athletics lie in the future.

I'm very surprised that they found double the money for the softball coaching staff when we've had issues getting paid or bringing in high level assistants due to money issues. Maybe this whole fiasco has actually helped the program. I'm also wondering if Tony Robichaux gets a raise out of this as I think the reported Glasco salary will be higher than Tony.

It's morning in Cajun Nation and the future is VERY BRIGHT!!!

No one can deny that we are in the Maggard era of Cajun Athletics. Napier will be the most talked about name and most recognizable figure from here on out but Maggard is driving this ship and firmly has his hand on the rudder steering us into headwinds that will blow this program open and SHOW OUR SAIL OF GREATNESS!!

I'm not sure how the football program will fare next year but I know we will be competitive and have a lot more swagger. Napier is going to out recruit our peers and it won't even be close. Whether we win the Sunbelt outright next year or the year after, I have no doubt that anything less will be unacceptable to those now in charge of this program.

Maggard will not be here long and no one knows what he has in store but all I can see is greatness for the future of this program. I have not heard him mention moving to a new conference but I know that he has a blueprint that he is following and things he wants to accomplish and so far I cannot be more pleased with what he has done so far. I would have to guess that his blueprint has dominating and winning the Sunbelt and then jumping to a better conference and him moving to a Notre Dame or LSU or USC. I'm perfectly fine with that, his success is tied to our success.

To all the losers and haters out there that don't want to talk about moving to another conference and are happy with 5 or 6 wins in the Sunbelt, well hold on to seats because from here on out we are going to be winning so much that you will be tired of it.

It’s great to be able to be excited about Ragin Cajun football again!
