How could we get the Administration to Care?

your NOT wrong for wanting to try new things, or even multiple things all at once(my personal vote). there has to be a path or method of bringing these ideas and changes up that is supportive.

i promise you this, for a small size example, there can easily be 100 different demands being made, with at least half of those being in direct opposition with each other. meaning if everything that could be done gets done, there is a group where half would get the direct opposite than what they wanted, or the decision to keep things the same would have to be made instead.

Pay attention to what I'm saying. I'm not just hammering on a keyboard. SEVERAL GROUPS of people have tried to talk to these folks in positions of power. THEY ARE NOT RECEPTIVE. They give you lip service. They do not GAF if it works or not.

It's not "trying new things." It's watching them make OBVIOUS mistakes over and over again. I can't even begin to remember all of the stupid ____ I've heard come out of the mouths of people in meetings over the past 15 years. Just pure ____ing incompetence.

The "half" that you speak of is failing miserably and has for our entire lives, sans TDP, Hudspeth and Napier (Maggard gets credit here too, but football success covers a multitude of sins).

not blaming external factors at all. if anything the post was about, wanting to change, getting the change you wanted, and now wanting to go back, because the people didnt respond to the change you wanted.

really the scariest part is it makes you look into the mirror and ask, are we who we think we are.

What you're describing is a person who goes to the doctor for diet pills:

Doc: "How's your diet?"
Person: "Well, I eat like ____ most of the time."
Doc: "How's your exercise routine?"
Person: "I don't."
Doc: "What are your sleep habits?"
Person: "Typically stay up until 2 am playing video games and wake up at noon."
Doc: "Do you monitor your water intake?"
Person: "Ewww.. can't stand the stuff."

Person: "Sooo... about those pills..."

Coach Girard certainly rubbed some Cajun fans the wrong way when she left for LSU, but she’s also an example of someone who grabbed great success for her program DESPITE our administration; however, she’s also an example of someone who eventually got fed up and left.

We’re damn lucky Robe stayed.

Damn right. And they fought him the entire way. All the way to Omaha, building a great program and building the crown Jewel of G5 baseball. Robe did it DESPITE this administration.

I created a thread on this website several years ago. It was called 'The Culprits', and it did just that. Since then, every person highlighted was fired, 'reassinged' or moved on to different schools. I got so much pushback from the admin, it was borderline harassment.

We're getting close to publishing The Culprits 2.0. I care a lot less now than I did then.

Do it! We need to let these people know that WE care. Care enough to expose everyone of them. We need receipts. Publicize it. At some point, a gathering at Martin Hall if necessary. Stand on their front lawn and demand change

All one needs to do is follow (the severed spinal cord timeline) from when he was moved to Martin Hall to see the tale of two Maggards.

You are 100% correct

We are poisoned with the “Culture of Can’t” attitude.

Charge general parking inside Cajun Field to make it look more full than the barren lot it is- “We can’t.”

Bring in more food trucks- “We can’t”

Get a mascot- “We can’t.”

Give discounted tickets to the people of Acadiana- “We can’t.”

Charge tailgating prices at a rate that will pack the stadium parking lot- “We can’t.”

Build retail in the grassy area across the street from Cajun Field- “We can’t.”

Can’t can’t can’t….

I would argue it's more a culture of WONT, than can't. Because they can, they just wont.

Little confused. Are you saying RCAF is the answer to these points?

The RCAF is the cause of these problems. So yeah.
