Seems, like it is the coaches responsibility to let the players know of the coach leaving.
The players finding out on social media (if true) bodes well for them NOT following him to Texas Tech.
I can understand his frustration towards lack of NIL but to diss the players and fans? I thought he was better than that. They deserved better.
The Martin Hall run athletic department has a history of leaving certain things to run on auto pilot.
Glasco has a history of focused hyperactivity.
A certain level of roadblock frustration is not hard to imagine.
Maybe the director of broadcasting could have broadcast something about the coach leaving
Chloe will be in the portal later today. It is a long shot but Vic and Chloe could still change their mind. Gerry has to win sooner rather than later. To do this he needs players. He will be aggressive to get proven players to follow him.
I don't recall anyone saying they were rooting for failure. I just miss the excitement and success we enjoyed before the program was gutted. The team was mostly home grown with a sprinkle of transfers that developed into phenomenal players under Mike's tutelage. There was no reason for what happened to have happened. I don't know if Mike could have coached much longer anyway. I just hate the way things went down. I was definitely rooting for the Cajuns no matter who was coaching. I'll just say that I'm disappointed with the results.
As far as I'm concerned, It never healed. I had no problem with her going to LA State. At the time I wished her the best. However, she turned her back on us. Not only turned her back but contributed to the whole Louisiana is inferior bit. How many times did she "Lafayette" us. She knew exactly what she was saying and the implications. It's an embarrassment to have her name Field.
It is not only the university that did not deliver, it is on the fans as well for not putting up the NIL dollars required. That being said, I do not blame the fans for refusing to pay players directly. If you do not own a business there is no direct benefit to contributing to NIL ventures as there is no tax or RCAF points advantage. Benefit is seeing your team succeed. That may not be a high enough priority in some people's lives. I understand the point made by others that they would let programs did before donating to NIL efforts. I think part of our culture here is a reluctance to pay athletes directly as some may feel the scholarships are sufficient compensation.
While a lot of what you state here was true, why aren't you mentioning the dinosaur that was running this university at the time and ran off a number of good coaches? While I didn't like the way she behaved during her departure, no one discusses what the individual that basically help destroy his own athletic program cutting his baseball program, football program and others. When you look at the entire picture, it doesn't pant a pretty picture of either side.
