Today's Press Conference

[MetryCajun]

_ Beat me too it....

But remember.. we are young and those of us asking for change are not real fans..

oh yea and we need to be patient _

I have always looked at football and basketball coaches this way.
Say we offer new coaches 300K. What are the chances the programs get better with a new coach.
Basketball - 95%
Football - 50%

Bustle is not terrible. I think it would take a special coach to get us to 7-8 wins consistently.

[TuffGuy84]

_ If that's true and I were Rickey Bustle, I'd be pretty ticked at the basketball coach making nearly twice as much as me... _

Rickey should look at this as even more incentive to get that 7th win. 1 more win and the cajuns go bowling and likely, bustle will get a hefty pay raise.

300k for a coach at UL is great, as long as he can win, You said Jessie Evans made more than Bustle, he should have, he put UL in the NCAA tourney, and left Robert a full cover, a NCAA tourney team, and no one seems to respect that, and that was the last time we danced. Then we say Robert did this and that but Jessie didnt do this, and that, but remember Robert was on his staff for 6 years, what the hell did he do or learn from Jessie. Nothing, he didnt win, he didnt prepare his teams to win, come on....Jessie has my vote, and we need someone just like him to come back and coach us to NCAA tourneys, and win the Sun Belt. If he is or was availabe I would consider hiring him again, just to get it done, and maybe hire him as a consultant or something. Bring back Jessie....

Coach Evans,

I can appreciate your situation, and that you really want to get back to being a head coach but, posting on this board really isn't going to help your chances. Thank you for your interest but, we are moving on.

Thanks coach; love the screen name,

Not sure what HS stands for, but it is not HC (Head Coach). Wondering why Cajun is misspelled as Cajin.

Jessie's name isn't even on the D list.

You guys obviously must have forgotten just over 14 years ago, when Fletcher left,now Jessie might not be our main guy, but he won, Robert was terrible, and you guys are taking this much too personal, you will never have no say so in who will get hired, or even who will get an interview, thats the strange thing you guys keep missing. And one guy says I am Coach, my name stands for when I was H.S in Lafayette, in the mid 90's, and when I graduated in 99, I have fond memories of Jessie, do I wish him back yes, will it happen, maybe not, but I wont allow you jokers to bash him totally, without searching the truth. There are some great candidates who could take this job and run with it, but how long will we keep them, the moment they start winning the big boys come and take them, and you know how we feel about that. So I say Jessie Evans, for reason bad or good, wether you like him or me or not, he will be here until he retires, were is he gonna go?...LOL... But lets go with your guys... Tim Floyd, Billy Kennedy, or even maybe a top assisant from a big University, he will be looking to move as soon as he has a great year or NCAA tourney run. Go with a H.S coach in the area. But stop calling people names on here, lets not show our ignorance, ok...Have a good nite.

I am only responding to your post because I feel sorry for guys like you, who dont have lives and just like to be mean and hide behind a post or blog, what a coward. Where do you work? No one comes to your job and bash you and talk about you on your job and try and belittle your name, so stop it.
