Defense Locks Up Ragin' Cajuns Homecoming Victory

[Crawfish]

That is something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, but I have a feeling we may see him next year on Sundays.

Yesterday was the last time we will see Larry Rose.

You can't have it both ways. You have to make a decision. Is it better to win and retain staff (head coach primarily) or lose so as a change can be made. In my view, despite people's reluctance to come clean, only a yes or no answer is acceptable. I used to tell people professionally, there is a gun to your head and only these two answers are acceptable. Anything else and the gun goes off. I irritated many with that approach but it generally worked in me finding out where people stood on an issue.

I think you can have it both ways if you believe he should be terminated even if he wins 6 games and returns to a bowl. That may not be reality at our level, but remember we terminated Coach Bustle for going 6-5 at best and there weren't 6 bowls games for the SBC back then.

Reality is he stays no matter what this year because Dr. Savoie wants the money paid up front to buy him out, he does not like paying anyone not to work. This is his history and he won't change period.

so if he had the $$ in hand things change and we have hope for the future this year as opposed to this slow lingering death.

I’d prefer 6-6, go to a bowl to keep going to Bowls. Then lose so we are 6-7 and we fire him because of 3 consecutive losing seasons.

Agreed

We’re gonna be back into 6 wins and be stuck with Hud...aren’t we?

You will be "stuck" with him with 5 wins too, so I don't get pulling against the Cajuns

Agreed. Also, Bustle didn't have nearly the buyout Hud has.

The buyout is not an issue after Jan. 1st if you believe $500K for the next 3 years is affordable. The problem is El Cheapo wants the funds up front, he doesn't want to spend one dollar if possible.

The program is bigger than one guy......rabble rabble rabble.

Some just hatin on Hud so bad, their priorities are upside down.

Coach Bustle went 3 and 9 in his final year. Had the team gone 3 and 9 this year, I think a change would have been made.

3 and 9 was Coach Bustle's record in his final season. Had that occurred this year, a change may have been forced. If Dr. Savoie has already made his decision, then you are right in that the poll is meaningless. It was likely meaningless regardless of circumstances other than general interest in what the viewpoint of folks is.
