Herman Edwards fired!

[Turbine]

If the Cajuns don't win another game the rest of the season you would be ok with Mike returning as coach next year? The standards are the standards. Saturday is a must win.

I asked you to quit being silly, you are fighting ghost scenarios that haven't shown their face.

The coaching staff and players have their backs against the wall this week. We will see if there are improvements with discipline, offensive production, defensive adjustments, etc. going forward. If these characteristics do not change it will be a long season for the fans.

Was it an ugly loss? Was it an embarrassment on multiple levels? Will CMD be our coach the rest of the season? Will the staff and team continue to attempt to get better? Did Maggard frame the hire as a transition and not a rebuild? Do fans have the right to have extreme feelings ranging from turd polishing to CMD needs to go?

Yes is the answer to all.

The only unacceptable action would be for the team to quit on the staff, and I don’t see that happening. Surf the wave gentlemen. We’ve had great waves lately, this is just a period of small waves.

Geaux Cajuns!

Time to start another win streak. Geaux Cajuns

Billy Napier needed ULM’s kicker to miss twice to win 2 different games, one of them put us in the championship game. Not sure when this ridiculous idea of losing to a conference team is a cause to get you fired. ULM has more P5 scalps than we do and a national title. If you are forced to play somebody every year, you will lose to them. It’s an asinine point of view.

[Gris-Gris]

Can we talk about the band or something?

Past due. They sound terrible and have for years.

[CajunJeaux]

Didn’t Glasco lose to ULM last season?

As JMV likes to say about basketball supporters: I don’t recall him calling for Glasco’s head when he was sitting on his lap.

[CrazyCajun]

Now , you, are being silly.

While the timeline of your statement is true, your statement is misleadingly false.

True, Herm Edwards was fired after losing to EMU, he wasn't fired because he lost to EMU.

He was fired because he never had the success Billy Napier had. Plus Arizona State has had coulda woulda shoulda Napier buyers remorse for years.

While the EMU loss timing fits, it was only the proverbial feather that broke the camels back.

To try and connect a (hasn't happened yet) loss for a coach in his 4th game, to an unproductive coach in his 5th season is silliness at its best.

Edwards also has them under ncaa investigation for illegally hosting recruits on campus during dead periods.

I think one thing we can all agree on is that this week is a much bigger game than we all anticipated it being at the beginning of the season and we will know pretty much what we need to know about this team moving forward after this game. I think we were playing it safe to not lose and keep that winning streak alive versus going out and attacking teams. I think we'll know more how the staff will coach this team moving forward. It's gut check time for this team and program in general.

[Grantvb]

Depending on the school, there is a crest and trough to your bar/standard as the coaching regime changes. Educate me. Doesn't the recruiting style change with a new coach? Doesn't a coaching style change? Doesn't it take a while to implement? What worked against EMU in the second half may not work on Rice..(obvious). The playbook is still being adapted. Even Billy went 7-7 his first year.

[CajunVic]

. . . Even Billy went 7-7 his first year.

When one did not want DES to begin with, this is not in their fact pattern . . .

Heck, athletic department staff documented a boatload of illegal contacts and turned it in awhile back. ASU was looking for cause w/o bringing up the allegations, just like the Refineryville bunch did with Eaux. I think Herm, Eaux, Frost and soon Harsin should combine funds and buy a resort for failed coaches that received huge buyouts. Maybe a thin, long, sliver of land, kinda shaped like a toothpick…

[Cajun Monkee]

Didn’t Glasco lose to ULM last season?

As JMV likes to say about basketball supporters: I don’t recall him calling for Glasco’s head when he was sitting on his lap.

Yeah, I would say order of magnitude in losing to ULM would be:
1) Softball
2) Baseball (and this would be a distant second)
3) Football (and this would be a distant third)
4) Basketball (take your pick; I think these have the potential of being much more competitive an a game-to-game basis.

While I was shocked and disappointed by a softball loss to ULM, it would never be a consideration to call for Glasco's firing, which by JMV's logic he should have advocated for.

But he didn't.

I think this is just the perfect example of the trolling silliness that tends to be his posts.

Turbine, it would be nice if somebody extinguished this useless thread.

[Cajun Bullet]

Cool your horses on wanting to fire Mike because of one loss. This year's team isn't the same team that was here last year. Take a chill pill buddy.

[AstroCajun]

All I'm saying is that if we were going to lose one of Rice or ULM, I'll take my crow with Rice. Losing this Saturday, is hateful.
