When is Coach O’s agreement with LSU up?

I remember going to NLU games as a kid. Malone Stadium was the place to be on Saturday nights in Monroe. It was always packed if there was a game. All of that stopped once NLU went to DI and changed to ULM. Monroe has also gotten to the point where the town just doesn't support anything except for fast food restaurants.

I’m still trying to figure out why Louisiana f’ing Tech thought 6 straight bowl wins wasn’t good enough for them and moved on from Holltz. SMH.

Yeah no joke. They'll be lucky to see anything like that again for a while.

Because he completely checked out after the 2019 season when our archaic athletic council cost him a shot at a conference championship over the starting qb smoking weed. He was on a downward trajectory with realistically no chance of coming back up. He basically wasn’t even running the program when he was fired. Anyone who actually follows tech football knew it was time for skip to go. Time will be friendly to him at Tech. It’s worked out well for him, shitty for us, but we were going to be 3-9 the next year whether holtz was the coach or cumbies dumbass. We whiffed on a hire. That does not mean anyone who really follows the program wants skip back.

I really believe we could hire Georgia’s whole staff and still wouldn’t win. There’s just a loser mentality surrounding the whole athletic department. That and no money.
The facilities are the worst in the Sun Belt. You just can't recruit like that. And I think he probably stepped down rather than got fired. Those four losses on the final play in five games just broke him.

He didn’t step down. I personally heard him say they needed to give him more time rather than moving on and starting all over again.

I know Scott McDonald loves ULM as much as anyone could, so it surprised me that he didn't stay as the athletic director longer than he did.
Back before the school moved to FBS, it could be competitive, drew nice crowds, even won a national championship. Now, it's tough to draw much support when there's really no chance to win anything.

It’s the whole department. Football, basketball, and baseball are all near the bottom of the conference (and therefore all of Division 1) every year. Traditional thinking is not going to work with our limited resources. It’s going to take a radical change in mindset to have any chance at success.

Does ULM consider going back to FCS at some point?

My first fall there was ‘91; those next few years were great. Good tailgating, fun teams to watch, and good crowds that were into it.
Fast forward 8-10 years and i lm sitting in the stands and could count the fans on the home side at the end of a bad season and losing to Wofford. I know money is the driving factor but really messed up a good thing.

Maybe if the people of Louisiana would not move out and live in other state. Louisiana is slowly crumbling due to people moving out of there and not supporting their state. How many LSU fans still live in Louisiana?

We really need a student fee to help fund the athletic department. We were close to quietly getting one passed when I was in school but someone with pull on campus (also an athlete frustratingly) caught wind of it and led a huge campaign to got it shot down. What pissed me off when I competed was the amount of students that would bitch and moan about the sports sucking and then shoot down anything that was done to attempt to improve it. It was maddening.

Something smells fishy here, I bet Fobbs will be named the coach.
Posted on 11/26/23 at 7:21 pm to tigerfan84
I wonder if he’ll put Aggy in the waiting room too

Serious source just now.
Former Navy Coach Ken Niumatalolo is the target.
Makes sense as he knows how to get the most out of any talent that he can get. Coach Ken has a chip on his shoulder for how things ended in Annapolis last season and he is very hungry to lead a FBS team again.
It would be pretty awesome if he opens up a pipeline and turns Monroe into a 9th Island of sorts for Hawaiians that don’t get P5 offers.

I've seen clips of ULM men's and women's basketball games on television, and you can almost count the number of fans on both hands. Baseball and softball are the same. Having to provide scholarships, facilities and travel for those programs will always be a losing proposition. It's almost a shame they even have to sponsor those programs, because students and fans care nothing about them.
