The Jerry Baldwin Saga: 1998-2020

_ People who are content with the status quo are IMO the problem not the solution. I'm not trying to win or lose anything I just simply want some questions answered by the people in charge. _

I could not agree more.... I am so sick of the parrots (no pun intended) in the media.. Jay Walker... Josh Parrot... and "I have no opinion because i am a nice guy... and did i mention baseball is the perfect game" Stevie P... criticizing those of us who have the audactiy to say the emperor has no clothes....

This university could be soo much more in athletics.... There was a day when we were on par with Tech and So Miss and East Carolina and others... today we are a joke....

Just having some people in the administration who care about winning....There should be, and I for one wont participate because I love this university, a boycott of the games from the remaining loyalists until this entire administration is removed...T-Joe is just Dr. A redoux... I had really expected more from him... But he is just one of the boys... the small gang that hops on the planes together.... win or lose does not matter...THEY have the cush and know they would be run out if a new aggressive AD was in place... This really is pathetic

Am I happy with the situation? Absolutely not. But I knew this was coming nearly 3 weeks ago. The events leading up to this point should not cause this kind of outburst from the fans. If anyone was paying attention, you would have seen this coming and it wouldn't be such a shock.

If you think Josh Parrot is a parrot for the university, you are sadly mistaken.

Who said it was a shock? If I see incompetence 20 times in a row... why would I be "shocked" to see it one more time? No one is "shocked"... they are "disgusted"... all over again.

i disagree with joshua's opinion, but that's what it is, his opinion. i would have liked for him to agree with the majority on this forum and put that opinion in the paper, but he didn't. i have to remember that he has been the best friend of our athletics program at that rag of a paper that we have had in a long time. just because he does not agree with me is no reason for me to castigate him as a traitor. i look forward to more excellent coverage of cajuns athletics from him, no matter what his opinion on this matter is.

Also, no one has brought this up, but the precedent has been set by Jerry Baldwin on what would happen if you fire a coach who isn't winning.

Ok let me sit take a step back and think...Lee stays because of the APR risk? OK! But why the hell do we still have a pathetic women's coach here?

Entirely different rationale. IMO, keeping Coach Rodgers was purely a $ decision given the cost of a buyout of a coach in a non-revenue producing sport in a year when we're facing a 15% to 18% cut in the operating budget. I suspect that the admin is thinking they're going to need that money to cover the operating costs that they're not going to be able to cover from the reduced allocation from the Legislative budget.

this could certainly apply to Rogers with only one and a half years of a promised four years-----He could say that he was promised 4 years and did not get as much whatever as Hall!!!!

and again and again and well you know!

Really no shock just disgust and disipointment which leads to not caring at all..........................................

Geaux LSU!

Okay? You certainly seem very level headed and wise...while you and others are grabbing your ankles I still want some freaking answers.
