Fire Maggard?

[Big Poppa]

Lets all remember that Des is one of the only assistants Napier chose to leave behind when going to Florida. If Des is/was that good, wouldn't Napier had kept him? That says something too.

Des isn’t leaving Acadiana. When this gig is up his college coaching days are done.

I don’t think Des should have been hired but that argument is not a good reasoning.

Des was hired here before Napier completed staff at Florida. If Des doesnt get hired here, we don’t know if he doesn’t go there. It’s unlikely he would have but no one knows.

But Napier offered his recommendation to Maggard in keeping Des at UL, that means Napier didnt want him. You wouldn't recommend someone you wanted to take with you.

You don’t know that. If Des let it be known he wanted the job, if Napier has any care for his staff, he’d offer a recommendation.

I don’t think he should have been hired but it has nothing to do with if Florida would hire him as an assistant.

Bob Marlin has a 75% winning percentage at UL. Just ask our AD.

247/422=.585

I don't care what anyone says, Math is Math, and his winning percentage is .585.

Maggard's 75% Winning percentage quote was before last season raised it a bit, he may have had a 57% dyslexic moment.

.585 <= Mediocre

We have to raise the standards that is all there is to it!

This is what Maggard needs to do. Fire Marlin hire Anthony Gant from Dayton, or Mark Schimdt from St. Bonaventure as head coach.

Then give Dez one more year. Then we need to start going after coaches like Chuck Martin from Miami(Ohio) or Jason Candle from Toledo.

Then this is the year you experiment with raising attendance like doing festivals, just try something new every game to get fans coming to the games I feel like next year would be a good year to experiment.

Then with the new addition to the stadium and if we have to get a new coach we could get all promotions to try to get people to the game the year after .

If we have to new coach, new stadium, and new promotions that we have the kinks worked out of and hopefully we can get things operating on all cylinders! We just might get people to get excited about coming to the games.

Next year we need to experiment, just if it sounds like a good idea do it. What’s the harm in it ?

What? We cannot hire a coach from Dayton or St.Bonaventure. Levels ahead of our conference and situation.

Damn I just looked okay we might have to temper our expectations!! 1.6 million a year for Anthony Gant damn !! Wasn’t expecting that

Okay well Josh Schertz from Indiana State. He is making 365,000 a year I think we could get him ?

A former fellow employee at the time of the supposed resignation/recommendation.

Not a valid reason to frog jump all other considerations.

Let's project the football program's situation in a REAL world private sector scenario that many of us have possibly observed in some shape or form, in real work life. . .

A highly successful, experienced hot shot stateside division head is transferring out, being promoted to head of larger international division. Hot Shot, on his way out the door to the Far East, recommends one of his hard working managers with local roots as his replacement. A solid, dependable man. The CEO and Board, eager to keep profits rolling in without interruption say yep, that will work. Plug him in. However, in just two short years New Man not only misses big on two straight annual budgets but the once highly successful division is now bleeding red ink falling behind industry competitors. The CEO & Board hearing from numerous unhappy shareholders are realizing the gravity of the situation has become perilous to their own jobs and reputation. They ask themselves how could this happen? Goodness gracious, New Man seemed like a great fit. Regardless, the results are bottom line unacceptable. Before things get any worse, New Man is thanked for his past services, then HR walks him out of the building. Determined not to repeat their past mistake, a consultant is hired to assist CEO in conducting a broad talent search for a new Division head capable of pulling the division out of its down spiral. Only two years removed from record profits, its urgent a change agent is hired to get the division back on track. Since the International division is underperforming in a rapidly changing industry environment, the CEO & Board are caught flatfooted having no choice but to ask for a capital cash call from now weary shareholders to fulfill pledges made to back new Division Head turnaround strategies which is expected to take at least a couple years to produce desired results.
