Steve Hale Interview

[axg8750]

I'd like to see the 5 SOBs who are better candidates.

For a man with Hale's experience and forward thinking you MAKE a position to put him in and hold on for the ride! Oh the places we could have gone!

How many names would it take on a petition to replace Farmer with Hale?

Oh, by the way, thank you CajunT! You did a great job and did the job of what "The Flagship" should have done. As someone said earlier, KPEL is nothing but a UL promotional station. It's obvious The Voice of the Cajuns does not think that us fans whose donations are laughable have no right to be informed of the goings on in the athletic department. Without a real reported like Cajun T people not in the know like myself would never have realized the magnitude of the latest mistake/sabotage job from our athletic director.

I think SABOTAGE is the more accurate term in this situation.

Probably a lot.

Look, I am in no way against Steve Hale. Never have been. But give anyone 2 years, what would you expect the results to be?

I would expect him to knock it out of the park, which I believe he would have.

[CajunRebel]

So has CajunRebel chimed in since the interview? How confident are you now that the person who will be hired is better for UL athletics?

How confident now are you that Farmer did not black ball Hale for selfish personal reasons?

If Farmer himself, not one of his cronies, but the actual UL Athletic Director does not call a press conference and explain this in the very near future he is as spineless as we have all thought PLUS he doesn't give a ____ if everyone knows just how spineless of a worm he is.

This selfish move by him has made UL athletics miss on a once in a lifetime opportunity and I am ____ed!

Hey, I didn't get a chance to listen to the interview. I'll be able to listen to it tonight. I've ALWAYS believed that Hale was a great guy and a strong candidate.

I'm just not convinced they hired a dope or they did it for evil reasons. We'll see soon enough.

I wonder if Coach Hud, Coach Robe, Coach Mike, or Coach Marlin, or any of the other coaches listened to the interview, and if so, what their thoughts are.

1st....love you Man About Town. You did what was right. You will always be in my own little hall of fame for fighting for a just cause.

2nd..
guess we do need to start the "Fire Farmer Now" petition.....someone mentioned it in jest a few days ago. But it is needed......it truly is needed.

I will happily sign this one too. Proud to be one of the 48 that signed the Interview Steve Hale petition. Have a hunch a few more signature may be forthcoming.

Farmer is a disposable minion. To quote Cajunhawk in an earlier thread: 'The fish rots from the head.'

[Geaux]

I wonder if Coach Hud, Coach Robe, Coach Mike, or Coach Marlin, or any of the other coaches listened to the interview, and if so, what their thoughts are.

Coach Mike's thoughts are clear. He raised over 300k for indoor batting cages. Coaches should not have that responsibility at a college of this level. They should just ask and fundraising department should deliver

[CajunT]

My exact thoughts. He sounds great, definitely worthy of not only an interview, but a follow up interview. But give anyone with half a brain 2 days to prep for on air interview knowing his target audience, they sure as hell better knock it out the park...

Duggie85, I did this interview for several reasons. 1) For those that questioned this man's qualifications openly on this forum and wanted to hear more information about his background outside his supporters on this forum. Who better to answer those questions then he? 2) To answer the questions in regards to his interest in this program and motivation in meeting with the RCAF Board members, and there were more then several. He specifically stated they were meetings, not interviews because there was no official job description at the time.

The guy was completely professional and didn't attack anyone personally. Nor did I send him specific questions that I was going to ask, he offered discussion topics and I declined. But why would someone with his background in speaking to conference commissioners, ESPN personalities, football boaster clubs, Tim Brando and has solicited corporate donors need to 2 days to prepare for this interview? I'm shocked you made that statement because I believe you had been pretty fair in your questions.

Let me add this here as well, he told me after the show that he was told he shouldn't do it. Now why would someone be scared of something this man had to say? So much for conspiracy theories! BTW, he wouldn't tell me who made that request. The guy is a professional, something none of us are use to hearing around this program. Tonight you heard it.

The most important thing we can do at this point is push to remove T-Joe ' s control of the RCAF Board. Positions should be voted upon by the membership, $1=1 vote. That way the board is subject to university oversight, but answers to the donors, not the school.
