Marlin's Record

[MetryCajun]

Now MuellerCajun is telling us we can’t find a competent coach to come to little Ole Lafayette.

Dude, why are you here? You clearly belong on the purple and puke board.

Looks like reading comprehension is not your strong suit either. Neither one of us want the coach fired. Both of us think the record against top 150 teams is unacceptable. Both of us support change if we regress. Both of us think Marlin has accumulated a strong squad. It ok to agree with me sometimes. I don’t bite.

Guilty. I did skim your comment, mostly because I just assume it’s all bs. At any rate, fans should be aware of our limitations, and project accordingly. However, there should be standards around here. And I’m not on the fire Marlin train. I’m just saying, don’t tout 150+ RPI wins as “46 wins is the most in a 2 year stretch in the history of this school”. While on the surface, yes, technically that is correct. But I can almost guarantee you our previous schedules did not have 20/30 opponents being in the 150+ RPI bracket.

We need to establish what is acceptable and what is being successful for this program, year in and out, and in certain spans.

Don't judge the program using the tragicomical over all else, in other words while ignoring everything else.

Instead judge the program by the trajectory it is on. In other words winning more against the same competition.

Ps Tragicomical: "series of incidents, of mixed tragic and comic character." In UL's case injury and sickness at playoff time. Don't use that as the benchmark of not succeeding.

Turbine, Are you from Boston, because I'm getting the impression that you're wicked Smaht.

While we are being silly, IT WOULD TAKE WAY MORE COINS THAN THAT TO GET ONE OF THOSE THREE.

I'm not yelling no, I can't see the light.

The days of this university hiring a high school coach to be a head coach are long gone. Nothing against these fine gentlemen, but even McNeese passed on Rick LaBato last week. I’m glad we’ve moved on from that mindset.

Correct. That seldom works out.

I hate to keep harping but for 520,000 dollars , there will be lots of suitors .
High School coaches can’t do it ?
Gary Broadhead ? Art Briles ?
Tim Leger ? Mike Desormeaux? Matt Viator?
Rickey Broussard? Lewis Cook ? Tommy Tate ? Tim Rebowe ? Hugh Freeze ? Gus Malzohn ? Head Coach of the World Champions Philadelphia Eagles Doug Pederson were all high school coaches . These are just some off the top of my head.

While I, along with everyone else wants and expects to qualify for the NCAA tournament, at least on a consistent basis,I am still somewhat surprised at how much some people disqualify winning the regular season conference title.

I’m pretty certain this will never happen but I really wish the conference tourney would be done away with and let the reg season champ be the automatic qualifier. To me...what u do over the long haul is more of an accurate gauge of who the best team is, as opposed to who gets hot over a 3-4 day period. Especially in a 1 bid league

One draw back to this is once teams are out of contention....do they give their best effort and skew the potential real results?....
