At the end of the day, we the fans are the customer. When you put a bad product on the field, the customer gets fed up and stops spending money on the bad product. If a restaurant opened up in town and had very good food from a talented chef, people are going to eat there. But if the chef starts cooking bad food and the quality decreases, people won't eat there as much. And the chef won't say, "look, the restaurant is facing some tough times but they are the true test of character for the restaurant and customers alike." Um, no sir. You cook bad food, we don't eat there. Plain and simple.
We have given this coaching staff everything from facilities to recruit to all the way to increased donations and fan support. It's not our fault they haven't returned the favor with a underachieving product on the field.

But while the cajuns had the same record that second year, I didn't see a better team than the previous year. I was expecting better and better. Then the 3rd year came, and our D was looking pretty bad and O was getting predictable. 4th Year, Now he has all his players, I knew we were going to be better, nope....further decline. 5th year, same old problems on defense and office and QB. All these years I kept, and so did everyone else on this board, believed the stadium would be filled and needed to build new stadium.....still further decline every year. I'm serious, when I think about his tenure, it really makes me sad. I don't like anyone to lose their job and have to change theirs and their family's life, but man, its time to part ways and say goodbye. It was great at first, but he was not able to make UL better in any year after the first successful year. I wish him the best, but I am so done with his coaching style and inability to make improvements. We need a change before we're left behind for decades.
