Seems like allowing extra portal openings for coaching changes could be easily manipulated
Good post. The fact that the TX Tech job could be used as leverage if he doesn’t go is laughable as well. Shows how much college athletics has changed in such a short time. A HC is willing to go from a traditionally national power softball program to a dumpster of a softball program. UL had the number 1 recruiting class a few years ago.
. . . if we believe this is laughable . . . get ready to be laughed at . . . a lot . . . going forward . . .
Money aside, anyone stop to think GG may simply need a change of scenery, and TTU is a nice landing pad? Yes, he stayed after joining “the club nobody wants to join”, but that never goes away. If he had quit then, nobody would have questioned.
It is a burden, not only on him, but his wife and family. Your friends “move on” while you still face that situation every morning. Give the man some grace, no matter what he decides. He has shown it hasn’t been solely about the money, our little bird has pointed out before this isn’t his first time being offered. God bless him regardless what he opts for.
If you think it is about UL being laughed at then that is on you.
The entire sports landscape is laughable as in ridiculous and absurd.
Outside of individual achievements all past sports records are meaningless.
I'm in disbelief at the utterly implausible situation college sports is in.
And even those individual achievements are not always apples to apples look at how hard pete rose railed against japanese baseball in order to keep his record and diminish the accomplishments of Ichiro, yet now a new japanese pitcher leaves a sub par japanese team to head to the north side of chicage and is utterly dominating. See also the two way star out in california all of this after a gold medal performance in olympics by the japanese. Rose was wrong, well at least he had something in common with Les Myles who is now sueing to get in to the hall of fame, two peas in a pod.
Good perspective from the AD. New landscape of athletics will make this a difficult and critical decision if Coach decides to leave. I believe Cajuns will be fine.
