How many years does Des have left on his contract? That is how long he will be here.
If we keep Bob Marlin for 10+ years, accomplishing very little, and he had no ties to our programs, then we are not going to get rid of a former Ragin Cajun QB turned Coach that was a pretty good QB and was raised 30 miles down the road.
The real issue is WHAT WAS THE JUSTIFICATION TO GIVE HIM A 5-YEAR, $3.8 MILLION CONTRACT? His base is $755,000/year even if they win zero games. He had less actual coaching experience than most high school coaches in our state. His salary should have been $100K/year at the most.
