Sorry can't fire Marlin

[angeleast]

It’s actually the opposite. Big donors are lobbying for him to stay

My man, my friends at UL say they support him But not willing to put $$$ or reputation either way And they are few. I trust what my friends say there but they don't even know behind the scenes. But they all say $$$$$ is the only reason he is still here because every time Marlin opens his mouth, he makes them look stupid.

Going to be the same amount of people in the dome as their corner bar crew

Big donors wanted him gone and wrote checks. Also, We now have a new baseball stadium. We have added substantially to football assistant coaches salaries, probably more than tripled softball coaches salaries, way more than tripled baseball coaches salaries. This all while football and basketball attendance has dwindled. There is no more money in the money tree.

See the picture.

Hud undoing was the moment he backed his players and the infamous FDT video. It was just a matter of time. He wasn’t going to get canned right then, would not had been a good look, but once reason existed, he was done.

Donors stepped up and wrote checks to fire HUD. That is not there to fund firing of Marlin. That, all of the increased salaries in Football, Baseball and Softball combined with all of the increased salaries cost in the administration (remember, before Dr M, it was Famer, Leger and one other in administration - there are what, 10 in that office now) leaves no more money on the money tree.

There is literally a single person in this entire thread who is only partially-for Marlin stayingEveryone here is acknowledging he’s not meeting the fan bases expectations and there’s no way he gets an extension.what in the world is there left to debate in this thread?!?

And I’ll ask the hard question: what MORE are we exactly getting out of those 10 additional hires??

Lee De Leon is absolutely the wrong guy for the RCAF

Some people just look at the budget and say we are in the red, therefore we don't have any money to do it. LOL. We were in the red 2 and 3 years ago also. Still no list or number of donors that just through up $1.5 million when attendance had already dipped to below current levels. Bottom line is the university knew people would get behind firing Hud and may even get some help from donors although nobody can verify if they funded the entire buyout. All these salary increases someone is sure happened came from private dollars that, once again, we didn't have at the time either. However, the university saw a need to raise pay and knew the public would be behind it. The problem with this current situation is that they don't have the urgency to make this move as they did in other decisions where private funds were needed. Point is, if the university and core fans wanted this move to occur, it could happen.

Nobody likes to fire coaches. That’s true at virtually every university. Now the real truth is when fans start abandoning the program they make the move.

This post makes it clear that you have no clue, just questions. You have no clue about the dynamics when we made the move with HUD and you have no clue now. Maggard has pulled many rabbits out of a hat to get done all that he has gotten done so far and I commend him for that. Just face reality, there are no more rabbits in that hat, so Marlin is here for at least another year.

Savoie and the social club want Marlin. That’s why he’s still here. Literally everyone else is out on the Marlin era.

They bring a different approach for sure but I will give them time to build connections though

The social club is pretty small right? There can't possibly that much money tied up in it where they get much of a say at all?

There is.

Enlighten me. What consists of the social club?
