Should Bustle be fired

[DeadRed]

_ Again, who decides the make up of this team? The coaches. So if they allowed themselves to get in a position to have to rely on freshmen and sophmores they have no one to blame but themselves for their recruiting or lack thereof. I'm just tired of hearing it trotted out after every game as an excuse. _

I am with you on that note. Every year all we hear is "but we're so young".

And now we get to hear it basketball. We have all fresh and sophs. The excuses have already begun before the season even starts.

My question is: when do we mature?

The ironic thing is the successful programs get young, but they still win and are productive on the field. Softball was as young as any team UL fielded last year. Everyone knew they were young, but they did not use young as an excuse to have a losing season. Were they down? Yes.

Young is a built in excuse for the football program and the local media projects it over and over and over. How many years does it take to mature?

After six years being young simply says you have done a poor job of recruiting. It matters not why you did a poor job, maybe you did the best job possible with the resources but this is a bottom line thing, you win with talent and lose without it.

I don't want to get into a white paper but the math says Bustle did a better job with his first couple of classes along with the remains of Baldwin players than he did later, yet we are being told the exact opposite.

What I want in a coach is a guy who could not only take our guys and beat theirs but also one who could take their guys and beat ours.

Whether Bustle can get past this year's hump really is immaterial with the current perception of the way things are heading.

But, I will support this team and coaching staff until we get the next one.

And I'll support that team and coaching staff too.

_ Well If Those People Dont Attend The Games And Show Support When Times Are Rough Then Do We Really Want Them Apart Of The Cajun Family. How Can We Say They Are True Fans. I Rember The Championship Season When Things Looked Really Bad Then All Of Sudden They Turned It Around. Those Fans Who Gave Up On Those Kids And Stop Coming To The Games Wasnt The Reason For The Turn Around. I Would Rather Have A Few Good Supports That Will Stay With Those Players And Coaches Thru Good And Bad. Im So Tired Of The Excuses That The So Called Know It Alls Are Bring Up. First It Was Why We Recruit Florida And Not Louisisana More, Now Its Lets Make A Change Because Of Attendence Or Support. Whats Next!!! Here Is Something For You What Other Team Is Playing With At Least 15 Freshman Or Red Shirt Freshmen And Winning Ball Games.let Me See Nobody!!!!!! But Like I Said Mybe Cajun Country Is Not As Special As We Try To Make It And We Should Just Do What Everyone Alse Does. _

HOLY CAPITALIZATION!!!!!

Thanks. I heard it a couple of weeks ago. I don't remember who said it or who they were referring to... but it does explain what our coaching standard should be.

Actually if you heard it recently they were referring to Nick Saban before the LSU-Bama game.
