Is UL Athletics Broke?

[Turbine]

I will say this now. For the money these coaches make, we, as a collective, can _____ and scream as much as we want. If my record for work projects was CMD record, I would have been fired already. More money comes more responsibility. Deal with it or get another job. Attendance needed to increase not plummet for money to be made.

Your using "fired already" shows you don't believe your own words.

"fired already" screams premature.

We talking about getting fired again? Some just don’t learn . . .

I have seen lots of things posted here but not one of them has refuted that fact in any way.

It is what we paid, so to say there was more without evidence becomes nothing more than a red herring.

It is a hard burden to refute what in fact has been done.

SHOW ME THE MONEY

Other than your opinion, which isn't worth much, what evidence do you have to substantiate your claim that UL only budgeted 750 for the HC.

1. How much was paid?

2. Don’t you believe with the recent success of the program, if more was available, we would not have shot for the stars?

3. Getting CMD at $750,000 meant we not only got a good coach, we got the only coach available with the intangibles CMD has.

4. If we had more money, it would have been better used to attempt to retain more support staff.

Finally, because I said it’s so. If that is not enough, why are you still following this thread?

Let me help you a little, because you know that me and my bird have ALWAYS been right.

thats not up to us. its up to the state and the student body. they both already said no
what covers this is getting people to your games. separating rcaf to a private entity. hiring competent fund raisers. giving people a reason to join. getting students involved with private donations. early alumni groups with benefits for staying involved. going after the everyday joe with promotions. raising enrollment. developing the real estate around the fields. increasing student housing and having a lively on campus experience. alumni association getting off of their asses. rcaf board have some motivation other than how they get to their suite. getting the gameday and tailgating atmosphere right. or in other words admins doing their ____ing jobs

Someone here gets it.

If ever all those he mentions get it, it will be on like Donkey Kong

Weak!!! At best

Ok, you give it a shot

Why is this being asked on a forum of supporters already donating?

We don’t get paid $400,000 per year to answer that or to fix it.

Not everyone on this forum supports UL. Nor do they all give.

[JMV JustMyView]

You did.

If Dr. Maggard had gone outside to hire a new coach, he sure as hell wouldn't have paid anyone a million dollars to start.

So your comment about hiring Mike on the cheap holds no water.

None.

Wrong. A qualified top level coach would have gotten a million plus.

By all accounts, we interviewed other candidates from bigger schools but decided on Desormeaux. We paid him that because that pay is in line for his resume, not because its all we had. Had we hired Lanning, it wouldn't have been for $750k.

One guy on here said we didn't interview other folks? LOL.

[JMV JustMyView]

Forget Mike's Salary. 750,000 dollars is enough to buy a hell of a coach. My question is about the tools to operate & run a successful comprehensive program? Is Mike being given budget in line with the budget Billy had to operate? And if not, why not?

Covid shortage bro.
