Marlin Set To Return ( Retaining Players Paramount )

[CajunT]

……QUESTION……If Marlin stays and if he would win and goes to the tourney (which he came close to doing) Will his contract be automatically extended and will he receive bonuses? what if it is terrible from next years start, can we let him go?

I was told no, that clause is not in his contract. As per Dr. Maggard, there are bonuses that kick in for him and his staff if they win the conference tournament, and earn an NCAA bid.

I've heard nothing directly from Dr. Maggard, but I have spoken to several RCAF board members and it's their opinion Coach Marlin will be back for another season. Neither person mentioned the major concern is players leaving the program, although it may be a consideration. Their opinions are that the administration does not want to spend money on buying out a coach. In other words this decision is probably coming from Martin Hall if that is the case in my opinion. I have no doubt that these two people are in the know to a certain degree since they have donated millions over the years to this program.

Like I said in my earlier post, it is clear that the athletic department isn’t willing or able to invest in Basketball.

I think there is a difference in saying you are not going to do something when the money is available and deciding that money could be better spent elsewhere. I don't agree with it, but I don't get a vote.

I agree. Maggard has limited resources. He decided to dedicate an outsized share of them to Football. It is what it is.

The selection committee must have made a mistake hopefully Maggard calls to clear up the error.

Just a thought for those long time fans who have left the program: instead of saying what one WON’T do, how about everyone step and say what they WILL do if a change is made.

JMO that is a better message to deliver than won’t if we truly want change.

We have maxed out our fan base in football and have an unproven head coach at the helm.

2 season tickets the second he is canned. I've talked to 10 others that's have said the same thing.

I’ve had a donation saved for when it happens and I’ll get my season tickets back.

I am one of those ten that you have talked to. We will get four just to support the program.
