The Book 2008 Football

[Turbine]

Stokley coached for 13 years... what was his best season?

8-3 with a freshman QB

[CajunNation]

Stokely had 7 winning seasons out of 13.

2 conference co-championships out of the 3 years we were in the BIG WEST

He did all of this with people on our side trying to block him at every turn. No recruiting money. No facility improvements. No conference affiliation for 10 of those years.

He is not alone.... Before him?

Robertson---3 winning seasons out of 6

Tammeriello--3 winning seasons out of 6

Faulkinberry--6 winning seasons out of 13

From 1961-1996, that's 36 years, this program averaged a winning season every other year.

I know all of that as well as the next guy. Go back and reread the question.

Bustle did not get here until the '01 season so I think you should keep going.

_ No I don't agree, He's had seven years and can't get us to a bowl. We are national bottom dwellers; he should have been fired the second after he lost to McNeese. The attitude you have is the same as our administration; wait a second, are you David Walker? _

hahahahaha, thankfully i'm not david walker. Would absolutely hate to have his job at this time!!!!

If you are trying to get that we are better now, you are correct but that isn't saying much. He has 1 win over a team with a winning record in the 7 years. He should have been let go at the end of lat year but he got an extra year...i like the guy but he has not done enough to keep his job.

I'm disappointed that we didn't go to a bowl, but to be totally honest, we just didn't get it done this year. I wouldn't classify myself as a Bustle hater and he's certainly done as good a job since he's been here as anyone in the recent past. Again, being honest, if we had won those two against UTEP and Florida Atlantic (esp. UTEP at home), we would be a lock for a bowl. The question comes down to who we hold responsible for those losses. Certainly the player are responsible for execution, but coach Bustle made some questionable decisions leading up to those games that may have had an adverse effect on performance. I understand there was an injury issue, and we surely did not want to aggravate those, but I think closer adherence to routine would have helped us pull those games out. I say (like my voice makes a difference) but I say give him one more season to put us in a bowl and if we end up 6-6 or with a losing season, then it may be time to cut our losses and move on. That may be a tall order with Fenroy, Cherry and Desormeaux gone, but it will show us what kind of stuff Bustle is made of.
