2025 Vermilion and White Spring Game

[CrazyCajun]

Great. We replaced him with a less "ra ra" coach who took us to even HIGHER program heights, and it netted us lower attendance and the same crappy bowl match ups.

Everyone outside of the top 10-15 programs IS irrelevant with the way college football is currently set up. How many more years do you think they let a G5 into a playoff game and give the #5 seed a free win?

UL and many more like them are so much closer to FCS status than they are to being in the national college football conversation.

So I ask again, what do you want the university to do then?

[CrazyCajun]

All coaches need to get out in the public and engage the fan base. Personal interaction goes a long way. The AD and his staff/strategy ain't working. Results or lack thereof are glaring.

If they don’t build it through students we will never fill the stadium. That’s the only way, go look at every school that has great attendance year in and year out and look at their student section very game. They could start by not having 2 cops not stand on every third row the entire game arresting people.

No a coach that took us places we had never been 4 years in row was fired after 2 losing seasons because of his personality. His Schtick got old fast when he wasn’t winning. If you truly believe that then what do you want the university to do? Because in your eyes everyone is irrelevant outside of about 10-12 programs in the country. Even in year 4 when he was winning “everyone was tired of the ra ra” “I don’t want a cheerleader for a coach” how quickly some forget.

It wasn't his "Schtick" it was the fact that he knee jerkedly backed his players antics at a most inopportune time and was unforgiven.

[CrazyCajun]

Bad seasons do produce diminishing returns "no doubt."

But if Hud was 5-7 and Desormeaux, Bustle, and Baldwin were 6-6 (respectivly)....

Hud would pull in more fans.

Huds last 2 years the stadium was empty

Maybe for some but go search this site around that time and see how many were saying the ra ra only goes so far, we need a coach who can coach and not be a cheerleader. People were tired of his act.

[JamesTheJeweler]

What G5 coach Is putting butts in the seats with his personality? Any examples? If HUD went 6-6 there wouldn’t have been anyone there.

LoL! Some of yall will make every excuse in the book for this admin. Its wild. HUD absolutely put butts in the seats. That dude was ALWAYS out in public personally inviting people to come out. And people came out for him.

YOURE RIGHT BROTHER! There is absolutely nothing we can or should do to increase interest and attendance. We have done all we can and we should stop even giving suggestions for doing so. Thank goodness you're here to put an end to this nonsense.

Stop pretending that anyone is actually keeping an eye on what we're doing here.

Turn the students and fans loose and let them turn Cajun gameday into the party it should be.

We could win 30 games in a row and still have 15k people in the stands because we will never factor into "real" college football

He said we are irrelevant, so then what does he want the unversity to do about that? There are about 100 athletic directors are interested in his answer? If he really believes that people stopped going because of that then what’s the point of them doing anything? Bc that isn’t changing was my point

I’ve already said the only way to do it is through the students and they have to leave them alone and stop running them off.
