Louisiana Hosts Texas State In Blackout Game

[Cajunsmike]

Well that's an interesting way of looking at things. Of course none are actually in competition with the others. Their sport circumstances, or history if you will has a great deal to do with their success.

Of course if you're taking over a failed program you should get a decent grace period. Brodhead was in that circumstance when he took over. He's way beyond the grace period. If you taking over a very successful program pretty much near it's zenith your name is Glasco, but under very steep circumstances and departures of some of your best talent. He coulda gotten a grace period. Instead he performed at a very high level. Our soccer coach took over a disaster yet set historic highs.

Bobby Big Fish took over a program in disarray but not devoid of talent. Maybe his first year was his best. I wouldn't keep him under any circumstance in the future short of regular season championship, tournament championship, and a very competitive game in the NCAA. Goodness gracious he's will be starting his second decade of mediocrity in the 20/21 season.

We know what you would do but you don't have to come up with the million dollars. Real question is what will Dr. Maggard do. We don't know but I think all of us are fairly confident what he will do in short term and that is stand pat. How much success is needed for that to continue to be the case in March of 2021 is something I have no idea about.

Mike, if I were AD, Marlin would be gone as soon as we can pay the buyout, regardless of what he does next year. We have enough track record to know that a great year is an aberration for Marlin and is not an indicator of improvement.

I wouldn't be so sure as you that he is back. As of right now, I do not think he will be.

Like I said I don't know what Dr. Maggard is thinking in regards to when to make a coaching change. I was just making a guess that he would be back next season due to the injuries this year and I assumed most would agree with that prediction. I have absolutely no inside information one way or another on that. Obviously, I could be wrong on my prediction. For a change to happen lots of money would have to be offered to pay the buyout. For all I know those dollars have been made available. I do know the staff is acting as if they will be back. In his press conference earlier this week, Coach Marlin said coaches spent time on the road recruiting this week due to no mid week game. Most of you would expect that to be the case but I can tell you for certain that was not the case at the end of the Bustle tenure in football. Those coaches shut down their recruiting efforts in early November of 2010. I know that because some members of that staff have told me that directly.

Once again I know that is your view but I don't know what Dr. Maggard's view is. For that matter what the view of Dr. Savoie is. I presume the President would have to sign off on any change. I also have no idea when we will be able to pay the buyout.

I'd take Brad Boyd right now, with no college coaching experience, over Marlin right now.

Only a Jeweler would go with a Cubic Zirconia

I'm curious what he is recruiting? Class of 2022? He's full right now.

You are really grasping at straws now. No way he should ever get another extension unless he makes the NCAA tournament.

A coach should only be extended if he is being looked at by other schools or if his/her loss would set back your program. Coach Marlin is neither. If you're not gonna fire him, then UL should let his contract expire, have him move on or renegotiate.
