re: LA Tech FB Folks, How do we keep Cumbie one more year? He’s lost his last 4 against Spread

Well, I'm not kicking in to a Cumbie buyout for this AD to make a hire. You might be safe for another year.
Replacing Cumbie won't fix much if anything, the talent is BAD in that program right now. NIL is destroying these smaller programs.
The current state of Louisiana Tech’s football program is a dumpster fire on wheels. I like Dr. Wood but he has a complete disaster on his hands right now. Cumbie is lost as a coach and has alienated the fan base. The casuals were gone weeks ago and he’s on the verge of losing the diehards. The program is suffocating financially and who is going to put money into this?
Does anyone in Ruston believe Cumbie can turn this ship around? Short of begging Gary Patterson to do him a favor, Cumbie has about a 1% chance of surviving beyond next season. The only reason he hasn’t been fired already is the program doesn’t have a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of.
We can’t afford to attract new players because of COA and NIL and we can’t afford to keep anyone with an ounce of talent because of COA and NIL.
Louisiana Tech is an FCS program trying to compete at the FBS level at this point.

Tech should have taken that Independence Bowl invite back in 2012.

Yep. Short of a miracle we’re circling the good ole terlit bowl. Not just football, but the whole shebang.
And it’s a shame too. So much potential, in so many different ways. But feels like nobody knows wtf to do about pretty much anything over there.

Eh which is strange because Tech has good athletic facilities for a program their size. Figured they would find a way to make some sort of noise in the NIL with the old money Ruston folks, guess they are dying off.

It’s pretty bad. They’re recruiting my kids for cheer/dance. They don’t even go to away games 99% of the time. Not even to Dallas. They told me there are more people at ULM games now, which is nuts to me. WM has more in attendance than either. Maybe not officially, but actual people in the crowd…100%.
Why did attendance fall off so hard despite all the upgrades at Tech?
