Napier staying at Louisiana

[CajunFun]

I am so happy Coach Napier is staying at Louisiana. Instead of increasing coaches’ salaries, RCAF needs to reward Coach Napier and his staff with a new football stadium. We must invest in our future and get this done ASAP. I hope the athletic department is planning a very public fundraising campaign. Strike while the team is hot!!!

Before expanding, shouldn't we fill the one we have?

You ever seen a team playing in a half-empty stadium? It ain't pretty.

And don't be sure that winning will fill it. I've seen games at Miami, hosting Clemson, where both teams were in the top 10, and there were only about 20K in the stands.

Like I said, it ain't pretty.

I think stadium replacement will be safety issue before it’s a capacity issue.

I never said the stadium needed to be expanded. It needs to be renovated.

LSU won’t hire a HC From UL?
Maybe in the past.
Two things happen next year:
LSU continues to suck (which I expect since Coach O is at best a C+ HC that is in WAY over his head)
And
UL has the same or BETTER year next year.
I GUARANTEE our Coach is on top 2 of short list for LSU-
GUANRANTEE

I guess it comes down to definition of renovates vs replaced. Renovated to me means updated. The only option to keep CF from condemnation is replacement of existing structure (minus SEZ). Net-net same outcome

We are talking about stadium refurbishment, not expanding. The plans that people have seen actually show a reduction in capacity.

LSU would do anything to stick it to another in state school.... I think Tennessee will be the next interesting opening...I could also see Napier taking a Va Tech job when it opens also...we will probably never really know why billy didn’t get the job but I’m glad he is our man.
