Baseball Coach or Life Coach

[cajun_lannister]

Again, you are in the minority. No one in the UL administration wants Marlin or Robe to be fired. There is also no money to do it. Just because you want it means nothing to Maggard and Co. They are also probably happy with the WBB coach and volleyball coach. As the Grim Reaper of RP I think you should set your sites on the low hanging fruit like the soccer coach. Now that is an unsuccessful program.

Marlins contract ends this year it would literally save us money not to bringing him back

I don’t want marlin or robe fired. But I do get frustrated when we have back to back seasons like baseball did. Then, when people criticize, they are told that Robe isn’t going anywhere because he’s been so successful and a good mentor. Hawk is talking about the people who act like regional appearances are great success. This ain’t football where 12-0 still has you left out of the playoff. Coastal proved it can be done. You have to make a regional to have a chance at a natty. Didn’t get there twice in a row. Accept the criticism, right the ship or feel the seat get hot. JMO.

Criticism is one thing. Putting a head coach on notice a few year removed from back to back SR is another. We are not Auburn where we have a subpar season and torch the place. If you want drastic moves and constant buyouts of coaches, UL is probably not the school for you. Coaches here will be given ample time to right the ship and given resources that pale in comparison to the programs you want UL to beat. This is a cost effective way of running a cash strapped athletic department. Regarding baseball, it is likely changes are coming. It may not be enough for some, but the problems will be addressed.

Well, the first step would be for you to understand that hot seat and torching the place are two drastically different things.

The thing is the bar YOU expect to meet was set by the man you’re frustrated with... when I hear the phrase “hot seat,” I interpret that to mean turn it around immediately or else...where we are right is back-to-back sub par seasons...Coach Robe has never had back-to-back-to-back sub par seasons...the man has earned the respect and opportunity to be given the chance to do not do something he has never done while here 2+ decades...

Please help us understand "hot seat?"

Are any of the coaches in the 5 major sports on the "hot seat" now?

If not, are any of the 5 coaches approaching the "hot seat" and what parameters between now and end of the upcoming seasons would place any of them on the "hot seat?"

Just so we can understand.

Robe’s seat will never be hot, he would have a higher salary at a higher profile gig before Maggard finished the paperwork. Kind of hard to make someone like that nervous.

And as a fan of the program, that’s concerning to me.

Ben McAdoo with the NY Giants was on the hot seat last year...he didn’t meet expectations and was fired...

The Giants basically have infinite $$$$ and last I checked he did not coach a Cajuns team.

What? That our coach would be picked up in seconds by bigger and richer programs? Maybe that should make you stop and think about some of things you have said. I guess it would be much better to be like football and never have a HC move up? A HC nobody wants? You are right..much better.

Understand. I know you are not advocating regime change. I think you and others may be jumping the gun here on his seat being hot. UL is more tolerant of missteps because of our financial situation. That is not going to change anytime soon, especially when said coach has experienced a lot of success.

You act like he is underpaid he is in the top 25% of salaries way above many who accomplished more than him
