Thank You Coach Bustle!

[Ewhite]

I just want to say thank you to Ricky Bustle for the years he gave of himself and this program. I really wish as i am sure he is that the results could have been better, I will say he brought real excitement back to this program and until this year never had me negative about the program. Hopefully we made enough infrastructure improvements that the next coach that we get is able to continue what has been started.

To the coaching staff I really am sad to see the change because I truly believe that this staff has a few future D-1 Head coaches on it. I know it is an unpopular opinion but a note to the new coach to really take a hard look at the current staff there are some diamonds in the rough there if not yourself.

My dream would have been for Coach Bustle to have had more success here and be able to pass the reins on to one those diamonds.

To Coach Bustle one final note and one final assignment, please change history and continue coaching I am sick of Louisiana being a coaches graveyard. I realize Acadiana is a wonderful place to be but you are a great Football coach.

Just my 2 pennies

I agree, and it is not just Coach Bustle that deserves props IMO, his assistants and their families do as well...

No idea what's going to happen with these guys in the future, but I would like to add my personal thanks to Coach Rebowe for being the incredibly genuine and honorable person he is, Coach Bustle, his wife, and their son; for all of their efforts both on and off the field to build this program into something better than it was when they arrived at UL, Coach Wingerter for being Captain Responsibility as he seemed to take on anything and everything that would have fallen through the cracks if left up to the understaffed athletic department to accomplish, and Coach Hudson for being a larger than life, politically incorrect, in your face coach; that pushed the envelope with his guys...great people!

That was the UAB shutout game in 2002. I was there, drunk off my sss, dodging lightning bolts.
