Lame duck coach is the worst situation this program can put itself in… good luck adding to this average roster with a coach on his swan song.. this is just another year gone before we can do something great again In basketball.

Lame duck is better than same duck

How, you figure?

Lame duck has an inevitable new beginning.

Same duck is perpetual extensions

spend any time listening to the complaints and checked out people with the basketball program, and I have to seriously ask, how much worst can it get? we seem to be in bottom of the barrel situation now, another year wont kill whats already weakened. any excitment/gains from a coaching change can still happen next year, the gamble is with a decent to successful final year, there maybe better momentum and energy next off season.

Snag you some tickets next year and come see how it plays out with us!

With us? Sounds like yall are inviting him to join the empty arena.

Well my comments are not about counting pennies. I dont deny there can and maybe some loss associated with this decision. If i was judging this strictly on business, the entire deal changes, a business should have made the change the moment revenues started being affected, which was long time ago. You know this is about much more than business or if someone has owned a business before.

The man made the decision he felt was best for Louisiana. Let’s see how it plays out.

Making what you believe is the least worst decision is no the same as making the BEST decision. Maggard made what he perceived to be the least worst decision which was also the least difficult from his view point. It was also the laziest decision he could have made. That least worst decision could become a lot worse. And when you run a competitive program with that POV the odds are it will become a LOT worse before it gets better, IF it ever gets better.

[Bandwagon King]

I've listened to the Matlin apologists use the excuse that Marlin graduates his players & runs a clean program, so that is a good enough reason to keep him. My question to those people is what NCAA rule forbids recruiting decent young men to play sports who are also uber competitive on the court/field that will win you conference championships & represent your university proudly? Is there a rule which forbids this?
