Of course I’m excepting the hire. Its F ing MIKE D!!! Who else would you want to see win here more than him. I can’t wait to pull for this guy. Screw Saban and his espn supported ass, and the tree growing out of it.
I’m also an Acadian high grad and love seeing Rams on the Cajuns roster. Got a handful at the moment.
It shouldn't be a surprise. I mentioned 2 months ago on the South Alabama game thread that the next UL coach was already on the staff. Guys listen to JMV every once in a while. I personally am not that close to the sources, but I have a podna who is as close to the source as can be. This has been in the making for a while. Dr. Maggard is a smart man and has folks lined up ready to take over if needed. Post 306 of this thread if you don't want to go back that far. Listen to me other external candidates were interviewed. Dr. Maggard even flew to meet a few.
Who wouldn’t be? You are acting like it’s a sure thing. Who are we? A G5 team in a harsh hellscape that is modern college football. They say winning fixes everything. So we win. We get nothing in return. Same bowl game with ____ty opponents. Internal hires that makes everyone who didn’t watch the Cajuns during the Bustle era scratch their heads. Commits are jumping ship. Press box renovation sounds like it’s being delayed.
That’s a ton of ____ to be worried about. And right now we have our Co-OC driving the bus. The coordinators we wanted to stay have gone. This is an extremely perilous situation.
I trust in Maggard, but I know he’s not perfect. At this level, with our budgetary restrictions, we have a razor thin margin for error. I’ll say it again, Hubris is real.
I'm also an Acadiana High Grad, way before you. So what. This is about UL. This is about hiring the best possible candidate for the job. Some of you are so oblivious as to what has kept UL down in the first place. So essentially, JMVCajuns, you are saying, Dr. Maggard never set out to find the best person available, he had set his mind on an internal hire weeks ago. Wow, that is reassuring.
