Marlin Gone but not forgotten

[Turbine]

Not defending Marlin, we gave up darn good seats this year. But there’s other issues to address after the coach is selected after the season ends. UL, if successful as we all hope, would need a consistent cycle of great hires…like Shipley, Hatfield and Bobby P. If Marty would have left at his peak, he’d be on that list.

That is, a good point.

Cant let a coach stagnate

Marlin made it worse by treating conference games like preseason and pre conference games like off season.

Case in point, when asked by Fitzpatrick, Marlin's response to the dismal record was on how conference play hadn't started yet.

Probably given the same choice as Marlin but he didn't want to bail on team

Schultzy is focusing on the wrong arguments. At the end of the day, postseason chances in MBB as an SBC school or not...no one is attending games or buying tickets. Our administration has two main choices remaining: 1. do nothing; 2. bring in a new staff

People are going to try and pick apart what else the admin could do, but that's why I qualified with "main" choices.

Dave might come in and say, "Well, no one is attending baseball or football games," but my response to that is we'll likely see a good boost from the football reno (TBD), and baseball season ticket sales appear to be excellent. Dr. Maggard specifically said in the press conference MBB ticket sales were bad (paraphrasing), and even the people buying them weren't showing up. As long as people are buying tickets, getting people to actually come sit in their seats instead of watch on ESPN+, it's much more tenable than not selling tickets AND no one going to games.

14 years of making the regular season irrelevant took its toll.

Don't know why he chose to leave now. His players were still playing hard.

Why go out this way?

Financial reasons. We all would have made the same decision. No one turns down the beyond 6 figure advantage he gained by leaving now. That is according to the figures reported by Kevin Foote in yesterday’s Acadiana Advocate.
