Louisiana athletics operated at $8 million deficit during 2023 fiscal year

The coach who had Finley this year and the Cajuns beat. You wanted us to hire a coach the CMD beat 41 13 last year and also beat this year. Ok, buddy.

Your angle was we couldnt afford anyone with more than high school or local position coach experience.

That first year score is irrelevant. Look at where they were when he was hired until now and look at where we were (back to back top 16 finishes)

If you want to stay on topic, look at their attendance before and after compared to ours

I've been to every home game that he has coached and will continue to be. Have you been to any?

Who buys season tickets these days -- in any sport? Honest question...

I buy 4 for football and 4 for baseball. I gave up 4 for basketball two years ago.

When Billy was hired we were a top 25 team coming of a 31-1 season. The job had grown so pay should have grown.

That must have been a really long season!

It didn’t help that they made the least exciting hire they could make. For me it said we are not trying to take the next step and continue what has been built.

How do we define splash hire? Des and Billy were making about the same thing when they both were hired for the head job. Des wasn’t a cheap hire.

The problem is that Des was paid the same amount as Napier.

Brain malfunction and fat fingers. 13-1

I have 7 for football, 2 for baseball and 1 for Softball.
I gave up my 2 for basketball a few years ago.

That is my point you could have got Billy type experience for what you paid Des.

Not true you could have gotten an experienced coordinator just like billy for that same starting pay.
