Seriously how can Maggard keep Marlin around? Does not realize we are losing money in ticket sales because people won't support Marlin anymore? Not to mention he is getting paid wayyyy too much to be this mediocre. We can save 300k and pay someone to else to get these results. If they fired him before conference play they probably would have made back the 100k(if that's truly the buyout) by seasons end

I’m with you on moving on immediately. Nothing worse can happen.

But I disagree on increased money if move is made. There will not be a massive spike in interest

It might not be a massive spike, but there will be increased interest. Unfortunately, it’s currently to the point where one can count people one-by-one at each home game now. Regardless of how the landscape of basketball has changed with attendance, that’s still unacceptable. Plus, add in the same type of game play we saw this weekend; and you have straight up apathy across the entire fan base. Something has to give at this point.

I repeat. Can Bob Marlin win a SBC road game?

Funny since ULM went in and beat UTA on Saturday right after Arlington beat us. Sad

How many years does Bob Marlin have left on his contract?

How many years does Bob Marlin have left on his contract?

its until 2023 but automatic extension if he wins the conference

[zephyr]

its until 2023 but automatic extension if he wins the conference

Is that the conference tournament or the regular season?

[Scott Malkinson]

Is that the conference tournament or the regular season?

If he wins either the regular season or tournament

Marlin's buyout would be $200,000 if terminated before March 31, 2022. so April 1st it hits zero lol

Marlin's buyout would be $200,000 if terminated before March 31, 2022. so April 1st it hits zero lol

Men's basketball coach Bob Marlin's contract would be extended one year through 2023, women's basketball coach Garry Brodhead one year through 2024, baseball coach Matt Deggs one year through 2025, softball coach Gerry Glasco one year through 2026 and soccer coach Lance Key one year through 2025.

Marlin's contract — most recently signed in 2019 at $552,476 annually — would automatically be extended by one year if the Cajuns win the Sun Belt regular season title or qualifies for the NCAA Tournament. Marlin's buyout would be $200,000 if terminated before March 31, 2022.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Winning the regular season is highly unlikely. Now we understand why Bob said all that matters is three games in March.

I wasn’t aware of these details. No way he gets let go now. And honestly, it’s probably in the university’s best interest to not do so and keep $200k.

I think it's in their best interest to get rid of him NOW. Can't risk him stumbling into another extension and 5 more years of apathy.

This program needs a young, enthusiastic coach to bring back the fans. Ticket sales will negate what is owed to Big Fish!
