Marlin Contract Extension - FOUR MORE YEARS!

[JamesTheJeweler]

Calm down brother.

Did that sound frantic to you?

Kinda sounded to me like your blood pressure was going higher as you typed. Don’t blow a gasket over big tilapia. We need your fanaticism not franticism(?)

Dozens of posts on an event everyone who follows this board knew was coming after a successful 3 days in March series.

We’re going to get 4 more years of Bob Marlin the good and the bad. Heck he’s libel to garner enough years and wins to get into the Louisiana Sports HOF in Natchitoches. America such a great country.

As long as Maggard keeps focusing on his 75% winning percentage at Sam Houston he has nothing to worry about.

You know the saying about assuming?

You are absolutely correct. I'd love to see the list of "quality opponents" [i.e REPUTABLE PROGRAMS] that this guy has beaten from his days at Sam Houston through today. I'll go out on a limb and say less than 3. And that's likely on the high side.

[CajunVic]

. . . if we don’t play them, we can’t beat them . . . Everyone needs to get off the big fish’s butt and get behind all of the young men who wear Louisiana a cross their chests for MBB . . .

At Sam Houston:

Baylor
Houston
Texas Tech 2x
Nebraska
Missouri
Auburn
UCF

Most of those teams finished below .500 in the years they played SHSU except for Texas Tech and one of those other teams. But still decent wins.

At Louisiana:

Houston
Iowa
UCF

GREAT! So we're all set. Basketball is killing it. Attendance is great! We are maintaining peak program performance. We don't wanna mess up this great thing we have going!

I did not say that. I said you exaggerate the issue in your comments. I tend to be one harps on pure and hard facts. We do need to improve support. More promotion is needed for the program. That is the responsibility of the administration and people in the program as well.

And none of those in the Top 100 RPI when we beat them.

Man, y’all need to understand Marlin did not get a four year contract. He got a three year deal.

Marlin will be knocking on 70 by then. Hiring a young successor (30ish) as an assistant would be a prudent move in two years.

. . . he may not even stay that long but needs that long of a contract for recruiting purposes . . . everyone needs to pipe down and now consider supporting the athletes who appear on the court with Louisiana across their chests . . . respect for our Cajun athletes . . .
