Take a good look folks.. This is how they think..

Please tell me your not serious. So if no one supports the team the coach gets fired. Then we hire a great coach which we will entice with our great fan support and pay with all our lost revenue. Then when he magically takes the job he will recruit top notch players because every kid wants to play in a empty 12,000 seat venue.

The idea is that if you are not happy with the direction of the program, as a fan, you want your voice heard. This typically manifests itself in attendance, donations etc.. You have seen it in football over the past few years and the impact its had on the program. In basketball, Maggard is sending the message that Ok is Ok. Attendance will likely stay somewhat consistent and a core group of our fans are loyal to the program which will keep them giving no matter what change needs to occur. You have said it yourself that you are not a Marlin guy but you continue to go to the games and that you will support him. It seems that this may be the only program I've heard of that has fans who want the coach to go or feel he should be held to higher standards but are fine with the university keeping him and rewarding him with new contracts.

Dude, yes your non insulting word, get real. Support drops like a rock in the Grand Canyon in great programs. Ask legendary Bobby Bowden, also basketball Tubby Smitt, Billy Gillispie. There’s dozens of good to great programs that don’t wait for the bottom to fall out before taking action. Most do. The worst the program the more the rope is given to the coaches. Those programs have almost to a “man” had mediocre supporters who eat shat sandwiches.

To all of you people making excuses, I guarantee you that the ice Marlin is skating on gets thinner and thinner each year.

Accurate. I’m not a marlin guy, I’m a Cajun guy.

Ya think yer a Cajun guy, you're a facilitator. That's bad for wayward children, alcoholics, and athletic programs!

I was a facilitator at one time sticking with Ricky Bustle way past his prime. So I recognize one when I see his posts

And this is exactly the response you’ll get when you point it out...

I may be part of the problem. I will be there if we win 5 or 25. There are some baseball people that will be there if they win 20 or 40. Simply a preference of sport people enjoy. That does not mean I don't recognize issues. We turn the ball over too much, give up too many offensive rebounds, and don't have enough depth. Depth issue was obvious the other night. As far as the staff is concerned, they are not going anywhere after this season no matter what happens due to the extension. However if this season and next are both poor, things may change. That may be a slightly different perspective than I had a few weeks ago but only because of thinking more of the reduced buyout.

Did Mike Murphy just say, "we are everybody's big game?" LMAO!!! I hope Schultz laughed at him.

In a way, when all you schedule are sub-250 teams, maybe we ARE kind of those teams' "big games". Just being devil's advocate.
