If we win out the remainder of our conference games, guess where we are at. Bowling.

Lol Masson is a HS qb at best. One of the dumbest statements I've ever heard. He had a solid game and did a great job of not relying on green to throw the ball to. Let me ask u something, why do u think brad is sooo much better? Cause he won a game last year against arkansas state (where he had about 2 picks btw)? Or maybe it was his 2 yd td runs against Troy even though Masson was the one to get him in that position. I like brad and I don't mean to belittle him but lay off masson. He has a lot of heart and has played really hard and great so far. It's hard to win a game when your punter is 2nd or 3rd on your team in rushing yards.

Puh-lease! This is the same arguement you guys use every time, and probably why it's taken so long to make a change. Who are we going to get to replace him? If Bustle is so great, how did we get HIM here? You sell the Cajuns short. The money is no draw, I'll give you that, but ever hear of Kyle Whittingham? No, I'm not saying Whittingham would ever come here. What I am saying is that nobody had ever heard of him before, he was a daddy's boy coordinator at Utah who's previous coaching experience was as a D-coordinator at Idaho State. Or Jim Leavitt who was a LB coach and DC as Kansas State for 5 years before becoming head coach at South Florida - and doing a fine job there. Point is, sometimes you have to take a flyer on someone and hope he works out. If not, you move on. Problem here is you wind up with a Jesse Evans, hang on to him when he's clearly in over his head because you figure you can't get anyone else and then you're disappointed. It's called trial and error - you should try it some time. Names: David Dean - Valdosta State (head coach), Chris Thomsen - Abilene Christian (head coach 29-7), Ted Davidson - Acadiana High (high school coach of the year), Jim Hightower - STM (Rivals 100 top 50 team),
I think rbilleaud's stock is experiencing an enormous sell-off...

The list might not be good, but his point is relevant. We always seem to hold on to poor coaches for too long and let our programs falter to a point of almost no return. This job will be attractive to a good up and coming coach as it will have to pay at least $500,000. Isn't that what LA Tech is paying? Our final 4 conference games are against teams that have won a combined 6 games and 3 of those are by one team, ULM. We let a not so powerful MT team come into Cajun Field and beat us after 2 weeks to prepare and let a 6 turnover game by Troy slip by us. Geez. If we lose one of those 4 games, we should do what Minnesota just did to their coach. This team plays with a lot of guts and a will to win only to be hampered by a poor coaching staff. Another 6-6 year should not be enough to warrant another year of this. Too much apathy by the general public and our miniscule fan base. With a good nucleus of players returning, a new coaching staff could quickly get this team over the proverbial hump next year. We have great coaching staffs in softball and baseball and now in basketball, we have the RCAF, we have improving facilities, we have a new President with a vision and will soon have a new AD. Yet, the one program that truly drives EVERYTHING, is the one that is in the poorest shape.
Do you even watch the games? This team is playing very hard and leaving it all out on the field. I also question some of the gametime coaching decisions, but Bustle has his team ready to play each week. That is hardly grounds for a mid-season firing.
Lets let the season play out. IMO it is bowl game or bust for Bustle. Nothing should be done with a coaching decision until our bowl picture is known.
