It hasn't changed anything, it is understood with Marlin that he has to win this year.

It is understood between Marlin and who?

Administration and fans.

No insider info here but I didn’t really read anything into that seeing as it appeared to be blanket extensions across the board for all coaches. I agree that it is known expectations are high.

Every coach on campus got an 1 year extension due to Covid. Nothing much to be read into that formality. Expectations are high from everyone and that includes players and staff. Difference between them and others is they have extreme confidence they will be successful. I would not want those in my program to think any other way. From the social media posts I have seen one of the reasons for optimism is the attitude being instilled by the new strength coach, Oliver Winston. He was with Chris Beard at Texas Tech where he was part of a lot of success. Maybe his work will help with the problem the team has had in recent years in finishing shot attempts near the basket.

That seems exuberant.

'Nobody gets fired because of Covid' seems rational.

One thing people may have missed from the article is that Cedric will finish his degree at Louisiana in the next few days. Therefore he will always be part of the Ragin Cajuns family. He indicated as such in his Twitter note announcing his decision. I for one wish him well on his next journey.

I wish him well also. I just don't think it was a very smart decision as others have posted as well. He probably won't get the same playing time or exposure.

It depends how you define exposure. Is it appearing and getting playing time in March Madness?

In his years here, that has not happened for him.
