Louisiana Announces Leadership Change In Men's Basketball Program

While a change was necessary for the program, Marlin the man is a good guy. I wish him the best.

From a nation wide coaching search standpoint, I think this midseason awareness will generate the most interest.

Exactly. Even though it could be projected the Cajuns will be out the SBC tournament quickly in March, Maggard will get an early start with the search process and be ready with the right hire.

The team played with emotion last night. Willing to bet they knew last night.

That's what I am thinking.

Yes he is, and so is she (a good woman)!

[IberiaCajun]

While I am not that surprised of his dismissal I am surprised of the timing.

Bob's attitude and * FB rants did speed it up. Also good time for a move before playing Wade due to the bad blood between them. Bob goes out a winner. Wonder who ponied up the money for a buyout in the middle of the season?

That's a great question. I'm sure someone had to have done that to get the financials right

Imagine if Bob had been embarrassed by Will Wade and lost his ____ ... It was likely going to happen

At least Wade won't get that satisfaction

Best reply yet, lol. And kinda summed up my reaction.

I’m shocked, felt he was going to be allowed to finish the season, but he was a dead man walking.

From anyone in this situation in the manager/employee roles, there’s never a good day to get canned.

Policarp is pleased. It was time. Feels very much like the Nelson Stokley firing , at least for me.... loved Coach Stokley the person, it was time for a change. I wish nothing but the best for Coach Marlin et his family

Next few weeks are going to be funnerer

You mean like days before Christmas, lol?

Hopefully the personal insults and the like can be left in the past. From this point forward the focus should be on the future and positivity. Everyone that said they were done until he was gone, this is your chance. Put your money where your mouth is. It starts Sunday. Should be a few thousand more people at the mcneese game wearing red if all that was said is true. If you don’t show up and don’t show out with the $$$ then it’s all for naught. Hopefully see you all on Sunday in the dome.

M$M said he will be a NBA coach soon.

I said I believe he will make an excellent head coach one day and that he will eventually end up on an NBA staff. I never said soon. I do believe he will work his way up.
