Bob Marlin

There’s someone with a radio show and who also might POSSIBLY post here was just on the air talking about “Millenials b*tching” about this basketball season. May I remind that person that some Millenials on here donate money to the RCAF and are investors in our sports programs as well.

Also, 19-win seasons against Southland and Sun Belt competition is not a failure but AVERAGE. Losing a freshman and one defender should not warrant finishing in 5th place with a postseason 1 and done in this conference.

Cost matches quality. Ticket prices and RCAF requests have increased over the past few years meaning people will expect a greater return. This isn’t social club. This is business.

Time to start earning that paycheck.

Someone should also remind him that some of the "millenials" leading the charge to fire Marlin were fans before he ever heard of Lafayette, Louisiana.

Nine years in 8 post season wins in SBC tournament. Really can’t spin that into a good thing.

Nine years in losing record vs top 150 can’t spin that into a good thing.

So what does he or she have to say about those who aren't millennials? I'm not in this generation but I'm at a point that I have decided to not further my financial support of the program. This is not to say that I won't carry a high level of interest for the program, watch on TV and attend certain home games from time to time but my donation level has ceased.

That’s the point. There’s a ton of NON-Millenials who feel the same way. LOL!!!

Let's not gloss it over, Express; that's 9 years in and a losing record against the top 200 RPI.

Well I wasn’t sure so.

What’s funny is that I’m not even one of them.

Not once have I called for Marlin’s job. But that doesn’t mean I can’t hold him accountable as a fan and donor. Some people around here need to know that it’s ok to do that.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Exactly what does holding somebody accountable mean if the job isn't at stake?

All I know is he shouldn’t have had an extension worth a net five years.

GSU- Ron Hunter (~$600k, $550k base + $50k bonus)
UL- Bob Marlin (~$550k)
GS- Mark Byington ($250k base salary + ??? booster contribution)
ULM-Keith Richard (????)
Ark St- Mike Balado ($375k)
Little Rock- Darrell Walker ($250k)
Troy- Phil Cunningham (~$290k)
USA- Richie Riely ($332k)
UTA- Chris Ogden ($440k)
TXST- Danny Kaspar ($270k)
App- Jim Fox ($250k)
CCU- Cliff Ellis ($275k)

So his was bounced from the tournament by a guy who makes $220K less a year ... Yay

Well, by creating a list of what we want out of our program with definable criteria that need to be met, we can hold him accountable if he doesn't reach these goals by NOT giving him extensions, raises and more job security if he fails to meet them as well as communicating our expectations so that all know if he is meeting them or not. Since you aren't going to fire a coach for one bad year or one year where you are snake bitten by injuries etc., you identify expectations over a 3-5-10 year period of where we expect to be. This can include levels of fundraising he has to meet for his program, recruiting success etc.
