Thats the way to pack em into the Cajundome!! Maybe Maggard has figured out that basketball is expendable?? Football, Baseball and Softball need to be our claim to fame.

All in, just let us know

hopefully the extension has no buyout and is just for show for recruiting

Hopefully, the new buyout is half a pack a trident layers and a deflated basketball.

Cut men and women's basketball and transfer the schollys to wrestling

All we need is a few mats and DC to be the HC

Lucky it's still a holiday week or we'd already be there.

This tells me Maggard believes Marlin is on the right track with his recent recruiting "success". I don't see how this could be anything other than a vote of confidence going into the early off-season we are likely to be headed for with Marquetti's injury. But then again, what do I know, except that 2023 will be sweet!!!!

I'll take the under, unless Cajun Vic , rebel, krazy, MAT etc get active, then a record may be set...

Congrats Coach Marlin...well deserved!!

Get rid of Marlin, and his program will go down to the basement of the Sunbelt Conference. In fact, this contract extension should involve a 25% raise, if we’re smart.

Runner being devils advocate with tongue in cheek again!!

I've said it before but I do believe with both football and Men's basketball that there is negative recruiting for coaches who have short term contracts.

Marlin is a bit of an enigma. On the positive side he seems to bring out the best in his players from an academic and social perspective and produces young men of character. He has also produced some talent that has gone on to be productive in the professional ranks.

On the negative side it is hard to argue with his less than stellar performance against better competition.

With that said I have to believe Maggard has some kind of plan in place moving forward. Will be interesting to see the terms of that extension however.
