Interest in Jessie

[realitycajun]

I agree 100%...........Rickey, Rickey, Rickey!!! GOOOOOOOOO Rickey! (back to Lafayette that is!!) I think it would be a good hire and bring tremendous support back to the program. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with hiring a local guy to take over the BB program. People change over time and I think Rickey has also, and would do a good job! There is nothing wrong with STM-itis. They never have tremendous players, but they are very disciplined and play & give 100% on every down/play! My kids will be going there starting in 2011.

and another thing.....STM PLAYERS ARE USUALLY ELIGIBLE!!!!!

[realitycajun]

AMEN bigearl!! Give me an average over achieving ELIGIBLE player ANYDAY over some of what Jesse has brought in. Not bashing the kids!

All of this Rickey Broussard talk reminds me of when we were looking for a head football coach and everyone said Louis Cook. If Jessie decides to go to USF, then I would love to see Robert Lee get the job. The guy has put in his time with this university, he does a great job preparing for the game, and from what I hear of Robert Lee from other people that if he was head coach, that there is no way he would allow some of the things that Jessie Evans allows to go on.

[bigearl]

Plain and simple... WE NEED A DISIPLINARIAN. That doesn't mean that guy can't be Evans. I liked the move he made at the end of the year suspending Greene and Williams. I think that was a step in the right direction for Evans as a displinarian but it has to continue on a day in- day out basis. It remains to be seen if JEssie Evans can succeed at that.

forget butch pierre, it want happen, to much bag

[Oldman]

hey! now you got it....coach Lee, he's paid his dues and he is a good coach believe it, as an assistant under jesse, he was/is limited as to what he can do. he knows what needs to be fixed, knows the schools in the area, knows the coaches, recruits, and he wants to be here, on top of that he's a good guy, respected, and would demand discipline from his players, and on top of that he certainly deserves a chance......he's one of us.

[CajunChicken]

Yeah I'm all for the local thing but if you compare Robert Lee and Rickey Broussard, there's not much comparison, plus Rickey would probably keep Coach Lee on if he gets the job.

[CajunCharlie]

Phew!!! I hate to hear the griping, moaning and bashing of the administration if Rickey Broussard is not selected as the head coach. I would imagine that all of the advocates would surely not buy season tickets.

I've wanted Jessie to go for a while now. I wonder if SFU will be happy when there players start getting horribel grades and all that jazz.

It seems like Jessie made alot of recruiting visits to St. Mary's Shelter for the Retarded.

Think long and hard about giving Ricky Broussard the head coaching position if Jessie does leave. Nelson has never been one to hurry a decision about any head coaching job. Ricky would have to go through the interview process just like anyone else and Nelson would certainly make this a national search.
I'm not even sold on the idea that Jessie would make a lateral/lower move to USF even if the money is better. Jessie would have to start from scratch to get them back to post season play while the Cajuns are pretty much established as a post season team every year now. We'll see over the next few days.

I'm not sure why, but it seems awfully peculiar to praise this Broussard for what he MIGHT do IF he gets this coaching position. How soon we forget what Evans HAS done. I can't put my finger on it, but...it may be a little pre-mature to claim that this "local" boy will for sure be better than Jesse.:confused: :confused: :confused:
