Marlin Named To Inaugural Pensacola State College Hall of Fame Class

[ZoomZoom]

That is an unacceptable result. You are saying for the money that has been spent to upgrade the Cajundome and the 500k we are paying Marlin, we should expect the same as before??????? If you want to continue to accept mediocrity, your on the right path. Unless Marlin wins the conference tournament this year, this will be 9 years with only 1 NCAA appearance....that horrible!!

All I did was state factual numbers on the program's performance since 1983, and never said I accept mediocrity. Go back and read/comprehend my post before making an ill informed post that I accept mediocrity.

I bet when the cost is low and the odds are greatly in my favor. I think that fits this scenario. It would not surprise me if the next two years are similar to the recent past as you suggest. That does not mean the AD will be willing to make a change at that point. I was confused with your answer. Are you willing to bet a minor amount that we will have a new coach in 2020-2021?

What does a minor amount matter? How about an I told you so? Or let’s wager something big, which should be easy for you right? Since you are so confident you are correct?

Interesting comments from the AD just 6 months before dismissal, wonder why he didn’t start talking about firing the coach in May? This coach had a massive buyout

How many years left does Marlin have under his current contract? I’d hate for the university to wait any longer to make a change but I understand finances may dictate that. Giving contract extensions before the current contract is up is something I have never been a big fan of. Get paid for what you have done not for what you may do in the future.

You are dismissing Maggard extended him. Nobody other than a few here are predicting Marlin's demise. If Broadhead is safe, Marlin is certainly safe.

Neither are safe there expectations are higher now with the current admin neither will be coaching here in 2021

I thought you didn’t bet? And yes..i am as predicting marlin has 2 more typical marlin years and not the 2 exceptions. This is of course my opinion and in no way suggest im psychic. It is my opinion that after 11 seasons completed that he will have been given a complete do over and have 1 NCAA tourney trip and 1 title and the natives will be restless. I would love for him to prove me wrong but i don’t see it.

I don't bet.

Marlin is a good coach.

Don’t get your panties in a wad Sally. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

He is a good coach. A lot of good coaches don’t succeed. Coaching isn’t the only aspect of a successful program. Recruiting isn’t the only aspect, graduating players isn’t the only aspect. Several things go into a successful program. What i want to happen and what i think will happen arent the same thing.

We paid Hudspeth less than he was owed due to a provision that the one time payment was less than being paid on a per year basis. I think we paid around 500 m$ total. I bet that applies here. Comments from Maggard were before a game had been played in 2017. Of course he would say that. I also understand that he would not say anything different in regards to basketball at this stage. As far as betting something big, what does that mean? I can tell you 1000 dollars is too big for my taste as my confidence in being right is not that high. I do have confidence in 100 dollars. We can revisit this in 15 months.

I think he has three years after this one. Buyout gets reduced in every succeeding year. That is why no one is suggesting a change will be made after this season. Some believe a buyout will be affordable after the 2019-2020 season. There are a few predictions a change will be made then. If a losing season occurs next year I would agree with those people. A 20 win season against an average schedule at best followed by a loss in the conference semi finals is a scenario which has been common recently. What happens in April of 2020 if that occurs is what this debate centers on. Without the extension, he would have had only one year remaining following this season. A decision would have to have been made in March as it is rare for any administration to let their staff plan for the following year with only one year remaining. I would have been more than OK with waiting until then and I don't know why we did not let this season conclude to make a decision. There would likely be less controversy had that path been followed. Extension likely would have been granted but terms may have been slightly more in the school's favor depending upon how this season turns out.
