The Jerry Baldwin Saga: 1998-2020

_ I wrote about my opinion based on the facts available. And I'll likely write another column after talking with DW sometime this week.

Don't expect this story to disappear from our newspaper anytime soon. _

Good point from fans here about where the freakin' AD is () and thanks for following up on it.

I just want to say I hate every ____ing person on this board. Stop crying, so what, we all hate all of you.

Ok, I'm going to bed

_ I would have held the Op-Ed until after I talked to Walker, maybe your OPINION will be deferent after that interview... _

Because if he didn't write the article, people would be ______ing and complaining about nothing being said about the situation!

Thats all I'm asking for Josh, thanks for following up.

Write the article but include that DW wasn't talked to.

_ I got no problem with Parrott or his articles - accurate, factual, informative, good reading, etc. What i wonder is why do we make a decision based on APR and post season play when we ain't exactly tearing up the post-season scene anyway?

Screw it! Fire 'em if they don't win and move on! So what if we can't go to a bowl? We haven't actually been invited in a while anyway.

It seems like we want to play the same old bad hand all night... in the words of an exceptionally unnatractive and probably obscure fitness guru of days gone by - STOP THE INSANITY! Shuffle, re-deal, and start the heck over.

Simple test to keep your job, Coach... WIN here or go somewhere else and try to win (if anyone will have you). As for the U, we'll hire somebody else, give him a shot and if he wins, we'll keep him (or watch him go somewhere else) or cut him loose if he doesn't.

Simple accountability. Nothing personal. Results talk, BS walks.

I've said my peice and counted to three. _

The ban on post season play would be for all sports, not just football and basketball. Baseball and softball could not compete in regionals. That would not be fair to those athletes. Now having said that, I will agree that we don't really know if players would have transferred had a change been made. Usually, few do after the new coach meets with them. However, I was not in the interview room and those who were concluded that it was too big a risk to take.

Ok man, we get it. Parrott has answered every one of your questions. Please stop nitpicking. Josh will probably do his best to show every side of the situation, especially once DW finds some courage.

_ You have written great stories about UL and you are correct about asking the tough questions, but today IMO you are completely off the mark. How can you come to the conclusion of "despite fans' frustrations, UL did the right thing"? You said yourself you haven't even asked the man in charge of this fiasco a single question about what happened. IMO this is lazy reporting, you are entitled to your own opinion and you have the platform to share that opinion with the masses, from here on out I will dismiss your opinion as unsubstantiated. Also, I have zero problems telling you all of this in person; I’m not hiding behind ____!!!! _

Dude you are really looking like an ASS right now. Parrot has not asked D. Walker the questions, because D. Walker is hiding somewhere and refusing to be interviewed, questioned, etc. Don't attack Parrot because the UL AD is to chicken ____ to stand up for his decision.

GEAUX UL!

I'm no expert on Cajun basketball, the Cajun administration, the APR, or reporting the news and with all due respect to all of the players in this issue, but expecting fact finding in the form of personal discussions with the guy making the decision before supporting his decision does not appear to be "nitpicking". imo

Hopefully, Coach Lee and his team will respond to the opportunity presented to them and you guys will be dancing next year.

Best of luck.

I just find that with Josh being on this board and answering all of the questions posed, some would have a little patience with regards to getting answers. Its a known fact that Walker hasn't spoken since the press release. It just seems like there has been a barrage of repetition to some extent on the subject. Just me, but Parrott has been pretty forthcoming on the issues
