In other words we pay more for no experience than others in our peer group pay for experience. Makes you wonder.... could there be other supplemental monies from other sources?

. . . he possesses many other intangibles for this job that other applicants just would not have . . .

You don't have to like what I was told by a few different folks. It is what it is. You are crazy is you don't think folks from UL's upper tier leaks information. It happens all the time. RARELY can ANYONE keep ANYTHING confidential ANYMORE. Maggard is on cruise control pal regardless of what you or others think. For the record my bubble NEVER releases confidential information outside of our bubble. And no we aren't looking to add new members to the bubble.

thanks for the chuckle.

. . . I guess the next victim of this board will be Jut, Associate Head Coach for Softball, because he is one of us . . . or that won’t happen until he is hired as Softball Head Coach because that will come, in time . . .

thanks for the chuckle.

Like I said you don't have to like what I was told. Trying to probe me isn't going to get me to give you names. Nice try thought. I will call you a liar every day of the week if you say I wasn't told that stuff from the higher ups.

100% serious. I know what I was told. Who cares if you believe it or not. I'm not gonna go back and forth with you.

. . . the market value for a hire like Des was what we had to spend . . . he is being paid about what he should command out in the market for a like position . . . it’s not cheap and not over paid . . . for Louisiana and for all the multiple reasons already posted time and time again by me and other supporters of Des, he was by far the best hire for Louisiana HFC last year . . . a search would have been foolish as it would not have revealed a different choice and thus time and unnecessary expense . . . it’s time to live with it and support the HFC for Louisiana . . .

You don't appreciate the intrinsic monitary value of buzz marketing that a public coaching search provides.

At least, you don't acknowledge it's value.

. . . tell us about it . . . and while you are at it, expound on how any other applicant could possibly have been revealed by a public search who could possibly have the specific characteristics enumerated by the AD and administration for why CMD was hired . . .

Helton and Bowden are still getting paid from former contracts. They can take a cut in pay to keep their name out there.

Check out S. Alabama’s deal. That was a unicorn last year. Usually you get what you pay for.

Des will get his 3 years, no need to be concern until December ‘24, providing stadium is on schedule. If stadium construction moves into ‘25, he’ll get extended. UL isn’t foolish enough to bring in a new coach with a stadium in shambles.

. . . tell us about it . . .

For starters the publicity of beating out other applicants erases many negative connotations and would have sold many more season tickets.

The low profile transfer cost the school money from lack of buzz marketing and no generated interest.
