this is great news. Considering it probably would not be hard for Bustle to find a higher paying job I love this move. It helps in recruiting for a kid to know that the coach that recruited him will be there his whole career. Also, it shows confidence in our coach which also helps in recruiting. If we believe in him so will everyone else. Not to mention the guy brought us our first thousand yard rusher EVER! Our first winning season in ten years and a share of the sunbelt championship and he lost his starting quarterback early in the season and had to change the entire gameplan of our offense. Luckily we have desormeaux and it worked out for us. The talent level has improved alot. Most importantly the man puts asses in the seats! Thats a big plus for where our program is right now. So, who ever does'nt like it , go back to baton rouge because that what you sound like! An ungrateful tiger fan!

Using that logic doesn't the future require that you always have him under a multi year deal? If so is this a five year deal or is UL forced to extend his contract in two or three years. If the recruiting logic works now it must be consistent.

From what coach said on the news, this was already in his contract. He said that it was an incentive saying that if they won the conference (i think) his contract would be extended to five total years again.

This is great news. He earned it.

Are you kidding me???

Why does this guy keeping getting extensions?? The whole state wanted to fire him after his 1-5 start...yeah, he led his team to the heavenly SunBelt "TRI"-Champions....WOOPTY-FRICKEN DOO!!! Im not saying that he didnt do a good job, but he needs to prove something worth talking about, at least a bowl appearance or something....SunBelt "TRI"-Champs is nothing to brag about people. He needs to prove something before we give him a lifetime salary here, after all, its not like he has any place better to go. He's def not getting offers from BCS contenders. We should take some of this money and give to Coach Robe or the Lotief's, or Lee.....people that have proven that they are winners and are making a name for the University on a NATIONAL level....No one cares about the SunBelt "TRI"-Champs that didnt even make a bowl. They have a little more consideration for the Baseball team that finished 3rd in the Nation, and a contender every year. Or the Softball team that makes it to the WCWS and produces All-Americans. Or the Basketball team that is winning outright Championships, taking a Final Four team(Louisville) to the wire in the NCAA Tourney on CBS(National Television for one of the most watched sporting events of the year) and one that produces NBA Draft Picks, a team that is on the verge of breaking loose. With the support of more people, the basketball team could win one of those NCAA Tourney games and turn the corner that they have been stuck on for several years. Whats Bustle's extension gonna do?? We gonna take a share of the SunBelt again and go NO better than the New Orleans bowl??? Pretty impressive to play in the 1st Bowl game of the season, ____.....at least its better than SunBelt "TRI"-Champs and sitting home watching it played in your own stadium.

Yeah, b/c our 2-7 basketball team looks really promising. C'mon, with the way bball is looking right now, I'm glad that we're shifting some focus to football.
