Bowl Bound? Bowl Bound !!!

ULM has same problem, except Vincent had HC/OC/AD titles until last week. Both programs with budget issues.

First half of the year Desormeaux had HC/OC/ADHD duties.

Thats a lot to have on your plate.

ps Stokley had HC/AD duties at the end of his run and we can look at the results of one man trying to do to wear to many hats.

I dont think i ever had a job where i didnt wear 2 hats...
If i could do it for 100k or less, seems someone making 750k+ should be able to do it.
Although i suppose, what is the guy in the position that is supposed to wear the other hat, actually doing?

The difference between sports and everyday life when it comes to wearing two hats is this...

In sports you actively have an opponent fighting/countering your every move at every level in real time.

Symultainios HC/OC spreads/dilutes one's focus.

I agree he shouldnt do both, but at the same time i have questions....
A. Wouldnt the majority of those duties be during the week.
B. What is the other guy doing while des is doing their job
C. I was in the military, lol, yep no opposing forces....
D. Name one company that an "opponent" is not trying to take away some of their business.

…..I think that any team that uses the ull on signage should be fined…..it should ALWAYS BE JUST LOUISIANA OR UL….. OH AND IT IS LOUISIANA TECH UNIVERSITY AT Ruston…..LTUR!!!

The reality is no other school in Louisiana is ever going to call us “Louisiana.” Why? Because doing so legitimizes us as the flagship identity of the state, and that’s something our rivals will never willingly concede. Tech, ULM, LSU none of them benefit from acknowledging us that way, so they’ll keep using “ULL” or whatever else they can to diminish the brand.

That’s why we can’t waste energy worrying about what other schools or their fans say. The only thing that matters is what we project. If we go all in on “Louisiana” on our signage, our uniforms, our marketing, our traditions then over time recruits, media, and casual fans will follow suit. Consistency builds legitimacy. The more we reinforce “Louisiana,” the less room there is for confusion or debate.

In short, we don’t need permission from anyone else to own the name. We just need to commit to it fully and unapologetically. The outside noise will always be there, but if we stay consistent, “Louisiana” becomes undeniable.

I love this post - worry about our house and everything else will fall in place regardless of the jealousy of other La schools . . .

At some point you do have to actually demonstrate some sort of separation to justify the flagship designation..

When was the last time we beat Tech in anything? Why would they kiss the ring we gave ourselves?

Flagship is academic not athletic.

Athletics creates awareness of academics.

Louisiana Athletics and Louisiana Academics need to get on the same page so people will want a Louisiana degree.

To be on the same page, we have to do something that is like nails on a chalkboard to most people here and all of the people in Martin Hall. We have to drop the branding of Ragin Cajuns and fully commit to Louisiana.

Academically, we are the only R1 school in the ULS. But, we don't have a Med school, a Law school, a Dental School or a Vet school. LSU has all of these and has been deemed the Flagship of the State of Louisiana. This is also why LSU has so much professional financial support while UL has mostly small donors. Our only hope is that the ULS, which is larger than the LSU System, demands its own Flagship and LSU remains only the Flagship of the LSU System. Is Southern University considered the Flagship of its System? It at least has its own Law school.
