    UL Football SI: In Rebuilding Louisiana Football

    https://www.si.com/college-football/...tte-nick-saban

    Maggard proudly details how Louisiana’s non-football coaching staff has grown by about 75%: two strength coaches, a handful of strength interns, three nutrionists and more than a dozen others who juggle duties in multiple departments, from recruiting to quality control. The athletic department’s snack budget went from zero to $1.5 million. The football program’s assistant coach salary pool increased by 40% to $2 million, and the school began to pay the full cost of attendance for athletes, something the NCAA permitted for the first time in 2015.

    True, but before that, Doc went all in when he hired Maggard, and he's running the table like Chris Moneymaker ever since.

    Did anyone notice who wrote the article?
    I wonder if this was assigned or if he willfully wanted to give us good pub.

    Not only is that great publicity, but really great information for the fans. I knew we added staff and budget but no idea it was this much. The info about how are they being used was fascinating.

    One of the best forms of publicity I have ever seen for our school. One note, all those extra people need to get paid. Know who is being asked to do that, we are. That is one of the reasons for the parking fees. I am sure more will be asked of us. There are not enough of us to get where we want however. More people have to come on board.

    While we haven't seen a single play from scrimmage for this man's club, I'm as confident as I can possibly be that Maggard make a great hire in Billy Napier

    Thanks Dr. Maggard.

    Very nice article.

    "There is a method to the madness," says Louisiana offensive coordinator Rob Sale, who worked for six years as a support staff member for Saban. "Everything, when you walk into this building, has the Alabama backbone. How we do our film breakdown, summer scouting reports, academic point structure, offseason program … everything is the same. We're going to win here."


    If you can't get fired up after reading this, check your pulse.
