David Walker blame is misplaced.
All we did during the Authement/Schexnayder regime was _____ about administration. Guess what we have a new administration.
D. Walker has:
1. Started the RCAF
2. Hired Bob Marlin
3. Put our Basketball coaches/ Asst. Coaches salary among the highest in te Sunbelt
4 Put field turf in football/baseball stadiums
5. Built a new softball stadium
6. Done more renovations in his tenure than the other regime in 30 years.
I know some of u think that Gerald Hebert or Scott Farmer hung the moon, and they do a good job. But Walker and T Joe are driving this boat. I had an opportunity to talk to Marlin after he was hired, he raved about Mr Walker for ten minutes easily.

David Walker is a fine AD however his weakness is his inability to make a positive coaching move while a contract exists AND his willingness to grant unwarranted contract extensions.

Getting blown out at Home is a pretty good indication that we need a new direction. It was pathetic, and I'm tired of it.
I am sure David Walker has a plan. Remember how he handled Coach Lee. He will let the season run it's course and then make his move based on the complete picture..
Its the fact that it was extended to this year is BS. He proved nothing to deserve it.
I waited until today to post on here. I was hoping my disappointment and anger would subside, but I'm still left feeling frustrated. My spouse and I discussed it and could find no bright spot to our performance last night. Our defense, offense, and special teams were sub standard. We have never been strong fans of Ricky Bustle, but have attended and supported faithfully. Enough is enough!
To Whom it may Concern:
Until this current administration determines a new football coaching staff is necessary, we will officially no longer support UL. We will let our RCAF all conference membership and alumni membership lapse. We will not renew our 5 season tickets. Don't count on us to drive in from Baton Rouge and spend our money, eating out, purchasing UL gear, or going to local attractions.
We see this as taking a stand for student-athletes and not allowing losing or simple mediocre. We want our investment to be used wisely. If that's not going to happen, then we would rather take our money and put it else where. Let's Hustle, No Bustle.
I, too, am frustrated. You have your right to feel the way you do. But, if I can take an exception to your post. Your donation to the RCAF certainly supports, and to a large degree, the program for which is underperforming. However, Marlin, Lotief's, Robichaux, Rogers, Mazeitis, Wieland, Sliman and Mahfouz all benefit from the money.
I realize that by this withdrawal of the support for the football program is a way of expressing displeasure. You may want to rethink the implications.
Thanks for your support.
