Fellow Cajuns,
I have continued to follow this program and this site since my son completed his football eligibility and graduated from UL in 2005.
It is with a heavy heart that I must admit there has been little or no progress made under the present head coach's regime.
Might have actually back peddled a bit.
It tears my heart out that this university with so much potential can't seem to find the guy who is the right fit.
It is however time to bid the Hustle-up Bustle-up tenure a fond farewell.
Move the program forward in a new direction.
I still maintain a good young recruiter and coach from the outside of the current staff is what this program needs. (SEC, ACC, or CUSA, D-coordinator)
Build a solid shut down D and the rest will come. example 1A - Bo Pellini
Get your search committee in place, agree on an attractive contract package, (bite the bullet) and geaux find a good young coach.
(Start a RCAF - Ragin Cajun Athletic Foundation) I know most of you will balk at the similarity to another orgnaization whose name resembles this. But consider the funding mechanism it provides and the competitive potential it could provide. The Alumni groups, and other benefactors have not provided the funding levels required to truly be competitive. Call it whatever you want to. I personally know two men who are willing to be charter members and contributors.
Otherwise stick with this guy and continue to dwell in the world of obscurity and ridicule. WKU loss at home-coming are you kidding me?
In closing, I say goodbye Ricky, don't go away hurt or mad, please, JUST GO AWAY ! ! ! !
AND GEAUX FORTH YOU RAGIN CAJUNS AND PROSPER FOREVER ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
