[jllanclos]

He is up to 18.8k followers now 😀

Damn. 4k+ followers added since the announcement?

Let’s revisit that in 3 years lol

Difference here is that BasinBear knows people in the business from all over the country and he knows they believe he is an outstanding hire for the Cajuns. Of course we will see how well he does with time.

You’re kidding right haha, y’all hire an unproven coach that was once fired by Dabo. lol Yea we nervous alright. Remember it’s easy to recruit to schools like Alabama and Clemson’s of the world. He will not be getting those kids sunshine. I will sip tea and watch the struggles. You guys really don’t get it lol smh

Notice that you can post here without your posts being changed. Because we aren’t petty little _____es like you are.

You see, it’s a superior culture that we have down here and that culture is the reason why this coach will succeed while you ultimately choke on your tea. Take your own coaches advice and embrace the suck.

Since we resumed playing Tech a few years ago, outside of football how have we competed in every other sport? Seems like we have won more than we've lost.

Recognizing that, especially now, football is far and away the most visible sport, we seemed to have eclipsed them everywhere else. Their football program, especially given their limitations, is impressive. And no doubt they have flat owned our ___ in football for a long time. It's hard to imagine though as we continue to finally invest fully in football, that we will not exceed them there eventually.

All of that said, I still don't get their obsession with us. They have a good school, a good football program and their own share of problems to focus on.

I can't help but get giddy remember Hud changed the culture to "big time" football that he based off his time at Miss state ... This guy will give us big time football based off his time at Clemson & Bama just take that in to a second

I visited one of the ASU message boards last night. They really aren't too optimistic after losing the OC and DC. They don't seam too happy with Herman Edwards either. That could turn into a cluster over there and I think Napier had the same feeling and wanted out.

If I were a tech fan I would Laugh at this as well. But I would laugh nervously. On the surface your objections have some merit but don’t pass the overall small test.

LA is paying over 1m to a coach that isn’t here anymore. another 1.2-1.5 to a new HC, and 2m annually to assistants. That is a staggering invensment. We all know money drives college football and LA has jumped into the fray with both feet.

LTU can now run with the “doing more with less” mantra. We aren’t using it anymore and it free for the taking.

Enjoy your good laugh now. Possibly enjoy it next year as well while our D and o line get retooled. After that things will become less and less funny for you.

You can say that about any coach....lol

That may be true... but BLUdog’s opinion will still be irrelevant on RP in 3 years. It’s irrelevant today, and always will be.

That’s you proved my point lol, he is not at Bama or Clemson. It’s really easy to sell and recruit to those schools. He now has to sell Sunbelt to kids, a totally different ballgame than selling ACC or SEC, uncharted waters. I agree Hud time was done, hell I warned you guys back in 2014 about Hud. I do hope the new coach works out for you, but to say we are nervous, nawww. We are just fine, we just just picked up a 4 star commit. Reloading for the next couple years.

Well, you better enjoy it while you can because ole Skippy's recruiting competition just got a lot more challenging.
