Sense when does he make since??

lol

I don’t think anyone in this thread is making cents, but that’s just my 2 since.

I cents that you are correct

[fanof71]

I agree.

This will work once Louisiana has the reputation of having good schedules.

One-and-Done good opponents (with years in between) won't work.

Good scheduling year-in and year-out with wins will draw crowds.

Time to build that reputation.

Until we start working 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 deals, nothing about current scheduling will change...

. . . oh, you got that 100% rock solid correct . . . it is a crying shame what is going on here to our HFC . . .

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?

It just shows what the market rate is for a Belt job in the first contract. Also shows that Doc wasn’t trying to budget hire when he chose Mike, he just paid Belt average. Now if he would have payed Monroe money then we could be having the budget hire conversation.

. . . sometimes cliff sucks with his notes . . . most often it is when he misses out on 3/4’s of the lecture . . .

Was hiring Dez for less $ an option?

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.

The fact that Helton and Bowden have other contracts doesn’t change what the schools are willing to pay them. Neither had better opportunities when they took their current jobs.

. . . you would have to ask him . . .

I was really excited about the new additions to the Sunbelt making our schedule look less abysmal.. then you get this year's slate of games and yikes

I think he would have taken it for a couple of hundred less because he loves this place and it means that much to him. That’s just my opinion. But had that been the offer Doc would be telling his whole fan base that he under values his coach.

. . . you and I know that is not the issue with the people posting here but they will never admit what their issue is . . . so . . .
