I can't believe we lost to ULM

[Esqueleto]

If Mike win 3 games this year would you want him to return as HC?

Want or not, he's coming back. I didn't necessarily think he was qualified for the job to begin with, but we're past that point.

JMV,

What would it accomplish for UL to fire CMD at this exact moment? We would be the donkeys of America across college football to hire a "hometown hero" and fire the man 4 games and a .500 record into a career. If you wanna say the guy should've never been hired, I will agree with you on that, and I think a lot of people putting emotions aside and just looking at resume would do the same. However, even I'm growing tired of hearing myself say that, and it's time for me to just accept what has been done and wait it out. We accomplish nothing firing the man today. We would have an interim HC for 8 games from an inexperienced staff and the biggest blight on our program we could have going into a coaching search as the university that hired one of their own, gave him 4 games, and fired him for winning half. The damage of this decision, if indeed it is what some of us think it is, has been done. We can't change it now. 2-3 years (let's be honest probably 4 at least) and we see how it goes.

This is one hot head to another. I was calling for heads above CMD's after last night. I won't say I fully back down from that sentiment, but I, like the people who want Mike gone, am just gonna have to let the next few years play out. As much as I dislike the decision, it's been made and it needs to be proven as the right or wrong one over a longer period than 4 games. I don't think this is gonna work out, but I can't just declare myself as correct before giving the situation a chance to unfold.

All I can do at this point is pull for the Cajuns and hope the people accountable reap the consequences, whether they be positive or negative, of this decision. There are so many things wrong with our product right now: on field performance in several sports, game day experience, marketing & promotions, ticketing, concessions, merchandising, etc. The list goes on and on. The people getting paid to fix these issues honestly have a mountain ahead of them. Unlike the apathetic community we are in, I'm personally still interested enough to see if they can climb it. If my part in helping them climb it is to show up and cheer and keep SOME of my negativity off social media and Pagin then so be it. Fans reactions should be genuine and not always focused on what helps or hurts. We have to take a step back here though and see this isn't helping.

So no. Thanks for dodging the question.

If we go 3-9 then you deserve an answer.

Some of the players are disappointed with him also.

Bull ____. I’ll call it. You’re full of ____ and don’t know anything.

Noted, but people who post negative stuff are also people who care about this program…. We can’t all be here to toe the company line… everyone on here pulls for our team week in and week out no matter who the coach is…. I hope Mike rights the ship and succeeds….. the fact is the bar has been set and it is the highest it has ever been! The bar should not change because we lost some players. If you recruit and develop good players they should be able to fill the holes. I am as frustrated as the next person and there are many things to fix… the number one thing we have to correct or we won’t win much is our o-Line run blocking… it is terrible right now and we can’t open a hole to save our life. Any fan who watches the game can see this…coaches see it from a different view and unfortunately they don’t like opinions from the outside observers when it doesn’t match their thinking…. You have to adjust and adapt to the situation and unfortunately they aren’t doing that right now. Saturday will be a tough one so let hope we turn it around. Geaux Cajuns!

There’s a lot of people looking in this thread. Speak up or this JMV douchebag will speak for you.

Mike has a contract and he deserves the chance to make his way work…. Time will tell…Geaux Cajuns.

Anyone jumped off the ledge yet? Some of you are posting crap just to make yourself feel important. Word of advice, if the last 2 weeks are affecting your life this much then it’s time to take a break.

Best way to help the oline and run game is to throw it down field early and often. No one on our schedule is afraid of our pass game. They will stack the box till we back them out.

Oh I 100% agree. I’m as glass half empty as they come. Please note I said SOME of my negativity. Y’all can forget about me not getting frustrated in in game threads. There’s a difference between visceral reactions though and calling for so and so’s head every day for the next 3 months. I don’t see the latter landing us anywhere we want to be.

The standard does not and should not change.

Maggard said this would not be a rebuild. I have let him know how disappointing this lie was.

When Mike was hired, it was not a rebuild. It was more of a plug and play. AFTER Mike was hired the organization was gutted. Dont forget that. Much changed from the day Mike was announced to today. And im not totally sure all those same resources are in place. The man deserves a chance. We are not comparing apples to apples right here. To think this season would be a seamless transition, after what the program lost(players, coaches, support staff, etc) …would be pretty stupid.
