Selections for new coach

[HOUCajun]

_ Would UNA trade Champagne and Bowden for Lee and Bustle? Just kidding, in all seriousness, I am behind Coach Bustle 100%. I know everyone is frustrated, but Coach continues to make us bowl eligible and I believe we will be again this year, sure we are not winning the conference, but we are improving to the point where we are consistantly at or above .500. Before Bustle when was the last time that happened?

good luck Coach Bustle, win out!!!

Will you guys still be complaining at 8-4 or 7-5. Look at the last 3 years with Stokely and the Baldwin years, and tell me again that you are upset with Bustle's performances!

We have 3 tough games coming up, but I believe that 2 of them are very winable and it is going to take a perfect game by the Cajuns to win vs Troy. But again, I will take 6-6 over 3-9 every year. My thoughts are that we are going to be 7-5 this year, we will defeat MT and ULM and lose to Troy. Next year this offense will be even better with the improvement of Masson at QB as well as Yobes Walker at RB, Lawson, Miller and Joseph at WR and Green at TE. Then add robert walker at RB. Defense will struggle next year with some key losses, but I think we will be in the top half of the SBC again this year and next.

Stop your complaining, enjoy the improvements that we are seeing. if you really want to complain, complain about Women's Basketball, Men's Basketball and Soccer, consistantly at the bottom of the conference. _

Amen Dave! I hope you are right about the 7-5. That would be a great accomplishment for this team.

_ I support softball, I've been to a few games but do you honestly want to be known as a softball school? Nice touch typing stupid in caps though, whoever yells the loudest is the winner right? _

I give up.

_ I give up. _

So you think it's stupid that I think we should focus on sports that outside people actually care about?

Thanks Dave. I would really like to trade some of the posters on this board for a UNA single tooth hick. I'd trade them straight up. At least the hick wouldn't have access to a computer(or I hope they don't).

_ Its not that I don't have the balls to say what coach told me this I had a private conversation and out of respect for that individual I will not put his name on this board. Here is something you don't know. Because of the discipline issues choach Bustle has had with kids from Miami (Jenkins area) he has told his current staff not to go down their. The kids that BJ recruited with a couple excepttions lacked character and had several internal issues that is not public knowlwdge. If you do not believe me just watch how many kids we get from the Miami area going forward. The fact that you would even suggest B. Jenkins should be a head coach shows me that you don't have a clue as to what is best for our U. _

Sorry ive been out of town and have not been able to check the board. But now that Im back let me say this Mr private conversation. Once again no balls. Lets look at the kids that he recruited and lets look at the kids that other coaches recruited. Also let me say that this coach that you talk to did he tell you the kids Jenkins recruited. Lets see Jarone Odam, chris mason,devin lewis, jason chery, jonhnathan decoster, rickey thomas,maurice role, undrea sails, dwight bentley, rodney gillis, sharrick moore, rico joseph, derrick smith are guys that are from the Ft. lauderdale Miami area that have done well here. The majority of them have played for us and won some games for us also. In fact most are playing for us now. There are only 3 kids that are from that area that have not did well Fred Davis, Verlin Moore and Frantz Accime. So before you repeat what the so called coach with out balls said make sure you are right. Let me go even further. Maybe we shouldnt recruite Baton Rouge due to the fact that Cook was involved with the situation with Verlin along with Brent Burkhalter had major issuses as well. Eric Jones also had some problems so lets not recruite texas. Also lets stop recruiting dalls because we have had problems with kids from there to like rodney haredaway, j mitchell. All of them had issues. Lets stop recruitiing New orleans as well there are kids from that area that had some issues. Because a kid might make a mistake and not do well does not make the coach a bad character guy. You see I have been around the program along time and I keep up with everything that goes on . I also talk to the kids alot and so when I say something it wont be a second hand conversation or gossip. I will stake the facts unlike someone I know lets just call him Mr. No Balls. Next time ask your so called coach this how many guys has he recruitd that have no problems. I can go even deeper but our fans would not want to be fans anymore. Hey its ok if you dont thimk that Coach Jenkins wwould be the guy we need but dont try to bring the man down. Just say you dont think he is the guy. Another one exposed.

hey just to show how dumb you are. What team is the best in college football right now. The FLORIDA GATORS. What is the most heavy recruited state in college football FLORIDA is. And you say dont recruite kids from Miami. WOW!!!!!!!!! nout very smart. Here is one why does all the top schools recruite this area because those kids help you WIN. ASK TROY. I CANT WAIT TO HEAR YOUR NEXT POOR ATTACK ON THIS GUY.

I did not say don't recruit kids from Miami. Rickey Bustle did. I am just telling you what he instructed his staff to do. So this does not tell you how dumb I am. If you are going to call someone dumb you need to look to the coach.

_ So you think it's stupid that I think we should focus on sports that outside people actually care about? _

How many "outside" people do you speak of? Just because the softball team is a phenomenal program doesn't mean that they should be the signature sport of this university. Football is the biggest money generator for ANY athletic program and as long as this is the case, we should strive for bigger and better things. I bet you became a Carolina Panther fan back in 2005 too didn't you?

I should not have called you dumb. But what I will say is that the attack on Coach Jenkins was wrong. This guy worked hard for the time he was here. Not to say other Coaches didnt. He has always done well by UL. To try and slander him now that he has left is wrong. I think he is a guy that will do a great job as a Head Coach. He is well respected and he does a good job recruiting. Every year he was here his kids have performed. In fact several of the players have stated that they wish he was still here. Every kid a coach brings into a program will not make it or will make a mistake. Just ask U TEN. Do u think they had any ideal those three young men would do what they did. Is the coach that recruited them a bad character guy. Should they not recruite those area's anymore. If Coach bustle stops recruiting that area of florida because of the mistake a kid made then he should not recruite the area that the other kids made mistakes as well. some of those kids made multiple mistakes. Now once again I think Coach jenkins would be great for the job.
