Possible candidates for Cajuns football coaching vacancy

[CajunNation]

None of those have ever been a head coach much less p5

Overrated.

The last 3 stAte Head Coaches left stAte for Boise, Ole Miss, and Auburn. Not a one of them were a Head Coach in FBS or FCS before stAte.

I think if we poll 100 fans all would have differing opinions. I firmly believe Wilson would push us above the other G5 schools in State.

This would be based just on his ability to deliver athletes to LSU.

Gamble.

[cajun_lannister]

Nope. He's a gamble hire.

Anybody can recruit to LSU, and his coaching bona fides are not there yet.

Pass.

He had 2 top Cusa recruiting classes

He had 2 top Cusa recruiting classes

And I'm thinking it would be easier to recruit from here.

...and he's 12-12. Currently working on two 6-win seasons, pending Bowl.

Bustle's record the past 2 years, 11-14, and we fired him.

Gamble.

......So we bring in a guy that has won a college national championship and a super bowl....already has a house in Lafayette!!! Maybe his son comes for special teams and leaves his pro gig! Ya never know!!!

Ok, I'll admit when I'm wrong.
If Boomer is agreeing on the Nussy thing, I must be a.s.s. backwards..

Not saying we should hire him.. He is a great recruiter also took UTSA to their first bowl game ever last year

They had also only won 7 games the previous 2 seasons. Going 12-12 with a win over Baylor not bad when you look at whole picture.

Heard Derrick Fracking Dooley?!?! WTF...Cajuns would go ballistic

[Cajunfanatico]

Here's another thing.

Some of these candidates would provide Splash. Some would not. None are guaranteed to succeed.

At the very least, a Splash hire that does not work out has at least shown that you are trying to get noticed, and believe it or not, that has value to your program.

Of course, I want any hire to work out, but I agree with this logic. It'd be nice to have the mothership and most everyone else saying, "damn, they're serious down there on the bayou".
