A local said that he has a cozy relationship with the boosters and donors, but c'mon.

After starting the year looking great against Nebraska, the Cowboys looked like they might return to their 90's-early 2000's form when they regularly went deep in the 1AA playoffs.

But then they go into the tank and lose their last three key conference games. A barely-winning season with no playoffs seems to be the new norm for McNeese.

Come on ... there's got to be at least some rumblings of unrest in Lake Charles.

I've been wondering about this too. McNeese was once one of the top teams in the Southland. Now they are losing to programs like Lamar. Also when we go to the playoffs, we aren't even competitive in the game. What's the deal?

It's getting a bit warm, IMO

He pulls another 7-5 next year, I'm on the bandwagon for him to go

i live in LC but am not a MSU guy and don't really pay attention to their shite. here is the vibe i get as a pure outsider

great guy who runs a clean program and graduates his players. he can be a legit Xs and Os guy, but has problems recruiting (but the "clean program" and "graduates players" stuff is likely a major part of that issue)

he has a good relationship with the boosters and they seem happy about the players he's recruiting and success they bring

Even if there was unrest, who would they hire?

It's been time for him to go and I really like him as a person. One of his problems is he is too loyal to assistants. He has let some coaches just hang around way too long like Lark Hebert for example.

They also don't seem to recruit the same type of defensive players as in the past. I can remember them having Joe Judge and Hadley Prince as the starting safeties and both were All-Americans.

I'm on the bandwagon to get rid of him. But he has too many connections in Lake Charles and southwest LA in general, so he's likely here to stay.
