Marlin Contract Extension - FOUR MORE YEARS!

[Cajunsmike]

USL's recent decision to turn independent also was a factor in taking the South Florida job, according to Paschal. He praised the Sun Belt Conference and said the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament helped shape his decision.

We left the Southland Conference in basketball due to football going independent in order to remain Division 1. We eventually became a part of the American South Conference which formed in the late 80's. I think 91-92 is the year we became part of the SBC. Either way, you are correct in that Bobby did not support that move and was one reason he went to South Florida. He also received a substantial pay raise which probably had more impact on the decision than anything else.

nonsense. at maximum you give him 2 more years. and you defintely dont make the buyout 600000. that one part right there tells fans he aint leaving anytime soon even if he loses

People will find every meaningless excuse for this decision. That buyout amount speaks volumes. He'll be the coach until he retires or dies. This university LOVES status quo. No work required.

The details of the contract are different than the extension decision in and of itself. When I said there was little choice, I was solely referring to the extension decision itself. I was not referring to what is in the contract. Note, full buyout would be 1.5 million after next season. It is 40 percent of that no. Personally, I don't agree that a change would not be made if there are two losing seasons in a row. That is true anywhere and they know that. I will say this, let's not assume that the team can't have success again this year. Many had that view last year and the team proved them wrong.

. . . it is quite apparent that that administration has made a decision that the best path forward is to tie Marlin up to finish his career with an ultimate retirement as a Ragin Cajun . . . they believe that he is close enough to the mark to make that happen and have decided to make that happen . . . no more bickering on this board will change things . . . its time for Cajun fans to buckle up and support this staff and those athletes who choose to wear Louisiana across their chest . . . finished, fini, over . . . the last set of posts are just getting into the weeds and the further you go into the weeds the higher the likelihood that you would be stung . . . BB, there is your path and the time to achieve it . . . go get you some D1 coaching experience and it should be a cakewalk right in between now and the time the Big Fish decides to retire but no longer than 4 years . . .

No doubt , I hear you. Got some feelers out there.

Coaching Experience
High School - 13 Years
ABA - 2 Years
TBT - 2 Years ( Coached All Pros )
NCAA - 2 Years ( Lee Era 2006 & 2007 )
AAU - 20 Years
Biddy - 15 years, the league now has over 1200 kids annually, all future Cajun Fans. Same program that BM has told his players not come around because of his relationship with me. 1200 Families all have basketball in common and you tell your players not to come around. No wonder we have no kids from the area that are fans of the programs and only 2000 people come to games. When I played every kid in the city knew me and most of the roster, 20 years later every basketball kid in the city still knows me.

I will get more experience and stay grinding.

still 600000 after 2 years. this team had nba talent at center. who thought they couldnt win?? no opinion on if they can win or not next season but based on bobs history we are in for 17 to 19 wins. just cant comprehend how people are defending this contract

I don't recall the details but I think buyout drops to 400 K after the 2nd year and 200K after the third year. Compensation is something I am uncomfortable discussing due to the attitude my employer fostered in us. I understand a coach is in a different situation and the information is public.

Yes, the perception of the program amongst the administration/coaching fraternitiy (fraternity is correct word for that profession) would have lessened without an extension beyond 1 year.

It, the extension, is meaningless to most coaches trying to get a job as head coach. We could have just let the contract expire except for the language calling for an extension and gotten dozens of qualified applicants.

This was all about T Joe, and Maggard being happy with Bob, and they should just come out and say that.

Pop played at Air Force

These are current guys with success in college.
Scott Drew. Baylor
Bruce weber. K state
Cliff Ellis. Coastal
Mick Cronin. Cincy
Mark Few. Gonzaga

I already named Roy Williams. Who played on the jv team at unc when they had jv teams but never played on the varsity.

2 separate coaches. One overall went to the big dance with Lamar 2 out of 7 years and the other 2 out of 6 years. Marlin has been 2 out of his last nine. Obviously not as good, but not exactly pathetic either. (P.s. BP was 2/8)

I was just responding to the point that you were making when you mentioned Paschal losing to Lamar a certain number of times. My point was that we lost to a team that was very good back then. It wasn't like losing to them today. That would be a lot more frowned upon based on the circumstances of both programs.

the inconvenient truth. when the coAD goes out and lies to the public by saying marlin had a 75 percent winning percentage you know something is amiss

Gary needs to hire you once your daughter enters college and you can take over the woman's team then move on to the men's team.

2 wins to 6 wins is 300% better.

He just couldn't sustain it after he fired both of his coordinators after a 6 win season.

False: it is 200pct better... yay tier R1
