Damn, just make this a sticky at the top of the page (and top attended games, showing the CD NEVER sold out for UL MBB). Can’t find a newer media guide.
If you’re not cheating, you’re not trying. WW broke a basic rule, never lie to your boss.
UL doesn’t want stepping stone coaches. They made that abundantly clear not following up CBN with another up and coming coach with a solid pedigree.
. . . sorry, but HUD is not contra non gratis at Louisiana for losing games . . .
He's had 1 regular season title separate from the 2 NCAA appearances.
Also, SOS average since his first season is 201 out of 362 programs. It's the same formula every year:
-schedule a few Southland and SWAC teams with Louisiana Tech and some other small mid-major sprinkled in there (~6 wins)
-schedule 2 non-D1's (2 wins)
-finish somewhere in the middle of the conference (~9-10 wins)
-win at least 1 game in the SBC Tournament before bowing out (1 win)
And there's your 17-18 wins. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
Much different landscape of the program back then compared to now. Back then, a 4-win season was considered progress after a 9-46 stretch. Today, we have a much larger assistant coaching budget plus massive facilities to recruit to (stadium renovation, indoor practice facility, APC). We have also had consistent winning seasons t build off of. The standard has been naturally raised since those years.
When 80 of 131 makes a bowl, it should be an expectation, not something bonus worthy.
Yes, there is a lot of negativity on RP. I’ll admit, I contributed. At the same time, it’s not RP’s fault the leadership at UL has not changed as rapidly as the times. I fear a new stadium, same flaccid 6-6 effort still being accepted.
