Slow start insurmountable for Cajuns women

[cajun_lannister]

Personally, I would prefer we pay 150k for a womens coach and 400k for the mens coach, both with incintives for high levels of performance; then hold both to a very high standard relative to our resources.

They are 2-9, lost to Dillard and have not won since before thanksgiving. It’s a bad year. But in the long run, they haven’t done much of anything. A couple of WBI championships are cool I guess, but no NCAA or even NIT. 2 wins against bad SEC schools a few years ago isn’t enough to get a pass. To be honest, I stopped listening to games in November this year but I used to listen all the time. I’d hate to see Garry’s program go the way of women’s soccer. Steady irrelevance.

Someone posted the soccer coach made 12K and he got ran, so it's not about the money. Besides, isn't ML's lawsuit about equality? Basketball. Only difference on this board one is vilified, the other is pretty much unscathed. Broadhead doesn't even have a cute little nickname. Other than a pay for play tournament championship with the likes of McNeese in it (and playing at home) where's the success, as defined by some resident experts. Lower bar for ladies? Really? There's your Bustle, at least for a bit. Makes the attacks on Marlin look hollow and personal.

Not saying I'm thrilled with either performances, yet just pointing out the one sidedness, apathy, personal vendetta, red ___ over Marlin's initial hiring, ROI, love the local boy, or whatever the ax is that needs grinding has been beaten into the ground. Both coaches have player heath issues. One from the start, one in season the last two years. One gets drilled daily, the other isn't even on the radar. NO coach plans for the "what if's". Either team gets two ball handlers down, it's a problem. I expect both teams to be back next year and team healthy. That is why I post about the women, not to run Broadhead, but to point out the prejudices.

Women need a chip on their shoulder more than the men next season.

"Toothpick" (horrific record) and "Smedium" (lost control) earned those nicknames. Marlin hasn't embarrassed the university. And apparently Broadhead hasn't. Collectively, this board is better than that.

Glad "News Copy" showed up. 😀

Carry on.

I belive both should not have been given extensions and Broadhead shown the door because everyone but Farmer hires are expected to punch above their weight class.

I won’t put words in your mouth, but read what you posted.

I don’t give two flips to a flop what a UL coach is getting paid, that’s Maggard’s job. I do expect a team to complete on every play/possession/pitch, regardless of sport, gender and opponent. If we lose two quarterbacks, two bigs in basketball, or even the best catcher since Lucroy, it will have an impact, but compete!

I'm talking about paying a WBB coach a large sum is not justifiable but as far competing you took the job regardless of the salary if you have multiple losing seasons in close succession you should not be retained.

It is a sport at our university. It is the #1 womens sport nationally. It absolutely justifies that salary, and the demands that go with it.

Lets revisit A WBB coach's salary when they have more than 100 season ticket holders.

We have more people attending Volleyball games than WBB ones

We were selling out EKL when Hall was here. I have no doubt that had we not scuttled the program by making the good old boy hire of Errol Rogers, support for WBB would rival softball.

Success on the court breeds success in the pocketbook.

One coach makes 60k a year the other 525k ..

Broadhead was making 95K when he was hired and he's gotten a raise since then.

Don't know where you got that 60K number from.

It's just throw away number to show the extreme difference of salary... regardless 95 k is a ridiculous sum for the product we are receiving

I believe you but i just don't see it softball is way cheaper to attend than going to the dome

Tickets beer and popcorn runs me about $20 at Lamson thats easily double at the dome.
