Louisiana College Sports: Hustle out of town for Bustle?

_ Mostly correct, but a little bit incomplete. The info in your first two paragraphs is right. The admin did not make specific demands in regards as to what was needed to be done for this season, but the restructuring of the buy-out clause was part of the expectation explanation for this season. The search actually began after the WKU loss. Ricky was informed then that he would not be brought back for next season, he informed his coaches and I'm sure the players were informed soon after that.
The same process used to find Robert's replacement is being utilized for the next head football coach. The AD has contacted that firm (I don't know the name), they are searching and have received interest from more than a few people. The AD will begin actual interviews once there is an opening. _

false.

_ I believe he did. I never heard any complaints during the Baldwin years of having his recruiting budget cut, His problem was in recruiting too many talented athletes who never saw the field because they cold not cut it in the classroom. Hence when Bustle go there we did not even have our full allotment of 85 scholarship players on the roster. _

The number I have heard on Baldwin was him leaving Bustle 15 players below scholarship.

Bustle's biggest mistake he ever made was in year one and it was his failure to capitalize on the #1 recruiting tool he would ever have.

In year one he was a big name hire, with ZERO losing seasons under his belt, yet he only signed 17 players. He would never have that kind of recruiting power again.

_ That would be grounds for a lawsuit. _

It would not be grounds for a lawsuit if you informed the current coach you were beginning a search prior to doing so. What is said privately between the administration and staff is something we are not always privy to.
