New Mexico State dropped from 2023 Football Schedule

[anhil8tor]

Every fan board B&M... thats what the fan board is for.

[Big Poppa]

He failed to capitalize on the best 3 years of UL Football, there are no Excuses for that fail...

I don’t disagree. But if the best 3 years alone don’t generate a smidgin of interest in the community there is nothing Bryan could have done to generate a decent amount of interest. Like you said we just came off our 3 best years. That alone with out an ounce of advertisement should get you at minimum 15k attendance at every game. We had 7 against Troy if we are luck. That’s not an AD problem.

He's the head guy...that whole dumpster fire is his problem.

Y’all do realize the more successful we are, the more the local community resents us. Also, the AD isn’t free to do whatever the hell he wants to do. That falls on Martin Hall.

Terrible game day service….Sodexo, out of the AD’s hands it’s a Martin Hall problem.

How have y’all not figured out that the AD is only allowed to do what Martin Hall says he can do? Dr Maggard is being the scapegoat. He has done a pretty darn good job as AD during his tenure. But if the direction he would like to see the athletic program go in, isn’t supported by Martin Hall there is only so much he can do.

IMHO his biggest failure so far is retaining Marlin. Second to that is finding the cash for the baseball club house.

Folks... The problem is not Maggard. Follow the money. Follow the bureaucracy. Bryan knows what the issues are. He is a realist. But look, you can have the perfect checklist for solutions and without the tools to work on them, you will accomplish nothing.

The RCAF is not autonomous. The AD's office is not autonomous. You don't blame a general manager when a publicly traded company takes a bath on the stock exchange.

[CajunEXPRESS]

And they are continuing to chip away at the non-supporting local community to get them on board. It's really not his fault that it takes longer than many fans think it should.

I think a lot of the lack of fan interest is part of our fault, the fans on here. We _____ and moan about everything, every little thing. Then we wonder why no one wants to join us.

We’re not unique in p€%%ing and moaning as a fan message board. Can’t push that onto these fans. We’re in a similar situation to TxSt. A huge national program an hour away.

He did virtually nothing. Could be a MH issue.

Agree. I have said it before and I will say it again he is the best AD in my life time here. Until we get rid of the Ray A way of thinking on that circular drive that faces university things will never change.

This right here. I held out hope when we got rid of Farmer and appeared that we were all in implementing the recommendations of the Alden report. Based on the past 50 years since the fossil first became president, now with his apprentice in place, I should have known better.

Yep. He’s the head guy trying to move full steam ahead with both hands tied behind his back and shackles on his feet. You try to accomplish something under those conditions.
