11.10.23 Fallout - gloves off

Historically, football averages about 18k. The HUD years was an anomaly. Yes, football is attendance is down, but really not that much. Adding on the endzone seating was a boneheaded move. How did Maggard run off fans?

The end zone seats were added to prepare for the reduced sized upper deck…. Which finally might be happening soon

If we think it’s bad now, just wait til we lose to ULM in a couple weeks in front of a raucous home crowd of 6,000 people.

You’re being generous, we won’t have 6k there.

How many years has it been since they were added? I can’t remember.

“Our team our town” is such a lame ass slogan when you are trying to be branded as Louisiana. It makes no sense

Neither does "One and Only Ragin Cajuns"

No kidding. Trainers, SIDs, equipment guys, video guys, golf coach, tennis coach. Asst baseball/softball coaches. Everyone!!!

I don’t work there anymore, but I can promise you a lot of people work really hard for little money at that place because they love college athletics and the athletes coaches they work for. I know fan is short for fanatic but let’s take a deep breath.

Guys like Dr Maggard and the head football coach sign up for the scrutiny. Remember there’s a lot of others in that dept who didn’t.

None of the assistant softball coaches need to be evaluated. 2 of them are new and one was just promoted.

But there should be a list of at least 5 names that get the axe, TODAY.

I’ll give you a couple of reasons.

One, this is major college football. That’s not how major college football operates.
Two: Some personnel/staff are probably civil service employees. Again, that’s not how civil service operates.
Three: A mascot is somewhere in the future. It will make it all better.

Which 5?

Then he wouldn’t be in the right J O B. If I was in that position my resignation would have been tendered ASAP.

No you wouldn't have. Who do you know personally in Lafayette that makes what he makes? And he isn't necessarily on anyone want list. He can chill at UL and make easy money.

[JMV JustMyView]

If Maggard had a backbone and principles, he'd resign 12/1.

For what? He is on cruise control.

Quite a few. This reno was “supposed” to happen already but at least it seems to finally be happening

Ask MAT. It’s his quote.

I don’t know that many people in Lafayette any longer. But you don’t know me from Adam, so to say what I would or wouldn’t do is moot.

You would give up a high level cush job and just quit with nothing else lined up? Good for you.
