Coaches who may be a hot commodity

[ULGrad@HOU]

Two situations developing that may cause some sleepless nights for csjun nation...University of Cincinnati has an AD job open...and you have to wonder how long Arkansas is going to put up with their putrid football program after Western KY beat the dog carp out of them today...in Fayettville no less..

It's not keeping me up, I assure you that. We (Cajun fans and alums and UL admin) can't control what they do. If they want to stay, great. If they want out, then we (UL) will react and do what we can to keep the positives going. Can't keep worrying about it so much people. We've had such little success here in football, every time we have a little, people think it's going to crash down, coaches will leave, AD's will leave. Come on, enough is enough, please.

Hey, isn’t that what happens to a university in G5? It will happen and hopefully we will find another superstar. But rest assured, it will happen.

Yes, it happens to all but about 15 Universities in the country, P5's too. Those that have the $$ to keep them, and sometimes that isn't enough. Let's enjoy the ride, and our ride just started. Hate to bring this up, but it matters to me, we still have not beaten a good team. I know it's debatable what "good" is to some. I would say maybe a couple of teams at the top of the G5, and most (not all) of the P5.

This is true, but we are beating the teams we are supposed to beat and in the manner we should be handling them. 8-1 against the spread suggests the team is over performing, were underestimated or a combination of the two.

It looks like we will have another chance at App St and then a bowl opponent. This will be a good test on the progress of the team and staff.

Billy is a down-to-earth guy. He and Ali are good people with small children in a good school, in a good neighborhood, in a good town, and they have their heads screwed on right. When they move, the consideration will be family first. He came here to build something, to prove something, but at the end of the day they put their children ahead of his career. That’s their value system. He won’t be here forever, but uprooting the kids will not be something they take lightly. That’s my sense. Oh, and when he goes, he will take Rob with him. Those two guys are on a mission here at Louisiana. This won’t be their last stop together. Their next gig won’t be a money grab. That is not their motivation. Enjoy what they are building. Their tenure here will be meaningful for all of us.

Arkansas now open...

That is all good and fine, but no matter what math you use, $3mm or $4mm over $1mm covers up most of what you say here.

What Billy has done isn’t anything short of a miracle. He came in after the best players had already committed to wherever they were going. He needed three classes to get back to full scholarship limits. He’s had one when everybody was his best pick.

And because of this, Saban and Sweeny in the background with those same telephones that got Napier hired here and all of the upcoming openings, Maggard just as soon get to work now.

Napier just signed an extension with a very hefty buyout. I can't imagine any team willing to pay that much on a relatively unproven coach,

We will see, I guess.
