Don't kid yourself UL has the money to buy him out -did you not hear- the Legislature just added $2 million to the ULAthetics kitty. It would be a poor use of funds though.

UL got rolled over in a big way last week, it happens all the time in sports, hey it happens in Super Bowls.

UL got rolled over against some highly motivated McNeese team that is a national power (in their division) that is made up of multiple tranfers from Louisiana Tech and Tulane, as well as Mississippi State and Michigan State. Add to that some un coachtrollable turnovers that cost UL sure points and gave them quick points and it is a no brainer excusable loss.

Can I point to MAJOR problems I had with coaching decisions in each loss? Yes!

However besides those two losses UL has been in every game. Hey I would love to hear that coach bustle never sleeps and doesn't have time to make commercials.

I have seen him coaching on the sidelines after some bad plays.

I wish he wore the headphones 100% of the time, but he has to be able to trust his coordinators as well.

And why won't you let me point out that Bustle is doing just as good in year 6 as Beamer did? And might do BETTER! oops

I'm not so optimistic as to think winning is unfailingly imminent or is a done deal, I would just hate to nip success in the bud.

I guess I would lose in a Wild West dual, since I'm slow on the trigger. Hey I thought firing Baldwin after year 3 was premature.

I was going to respect your opinion Turb then you said you thought it was premature to fire Baldwin lol jk

I respect the people that think he needs more time but I just don't feel at all the same way. I have friends that would like to make up fire ricky shirts...i cant disagree with them. facebook.com has more than 1 group that is calling for his firing, so he has lost a lot of support from not only the fans on here but by the students. I like the guy but some times a change is the only way to make things happen.

Ok first off everyone here knows my opinion... However WE ARE NOT LSU.... I really hope we dont start seeing things get ugly in the sense of T-shirts, catcalling etc.... I do like Coach Bustle.. I think it is just time for him to go... But I dont want a seige mentality where he cant go out without being called names... His family is hastled etc.... These things are wrong......

No comparison.

Florida Atlantic won 5 of their last 8 games last season.

DING DING DING DING DING, WE HAVE A WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was gonna say the same thing, but ya beat me to it. The key is, if you're young, you should improve over the course of the season and play pretty good at the end. Its the opposite with us, we played our best football the first 2 weeks of the season, and its been a slow downward trend since.

We had a team that went on a run and won a co-championship...that team was young. But then we turned around the next year after starting off very hot and went down hill...now 2 years after that we are young again? how does that happen, wouldn't that be a problem with coaching?

Ok so we give Bustle another 2 years and we are going to be a great veteran team right...no not really we would have lost fenroy, desmo, chery, and smith...so we would be young again so would the same excuses work then to?

That doesnt make much sense the way i typed it but i think yalll get the point

I agree to a point but it would make a statement that they are unhappy and thats what they want to get across
