Can Turbine retitle thread...UL Football and why the Sky is Falling....

He did say since UL didn't announce who all applied for the head coaches job folks stopped going to the games.

FIFY. LoL!

That is disingenuous at best and only a snippit of a much MUCH bigger problem. A generated, self fixable, PR buzz problem.

When a national search for head basketball coach lead to Glynn Cyprien it was announced that Robert Lee came in second.

There was a lot of interest generated.

When Cyprien was exposed as a fraud Louisiana was able to quickly promote Robert Lee no questions asked because he was legit and properly vetted.

If they had just promoted Robert Lee when Evans left without a search it would have been a program interest killer.

Basically what you have now.

A public national search would have given Michael Desormeaux instant credibility, as opposed to the derision you showed him early on.

Respectfully I disagree.

[Turbine]

Respectfully I disagree.

I stated several facts, what portion do you disagree with?

The last sentence.

[Turbine]

The last sentence.

Ok, fair enough.

A public national search would have drawn interest simply from people being drawn to the outcome. Much like what happens in sports.

Much like what happens in spring practice. Interest in who will get the helm in March, sells tickets in September.

Michael Desormeaux's name in the mix would have drawn much interest from Iberia Parish. Ten times more interest than him just being named head coach. Instant credibility,

The lack of a public search contributed to your shock at him being named head coach.

Besides, more than the fanbase tuning in, the search would have been mentioned nationwide.

Example: "Who will take over for a program on a 12 game winning streak? Stay tuned, Michael Desormeaux has been named interim head coach for the second time. Some say he is a frontrunner."

A national search would have prepared you for the outcome. while at the same time we will never know who was interested but needed more than a week to decide.

I stated Mike would be the next head coach before CBN even left. Me and T-Boy were told by CRS that Mike would be the next coach. I even had a poster on this site that wanted to bet me 10K that Mike wouldn't be the next coach. He is glad I don't bet.

Um, I was that poster and no where did I ever state I was glad you don't bet.
