Good to hear. I didn't think a bonehead decision such as this would be allowed to stand.
Re: Guess who the only team without a 10th assistant will be
Skip called out the guy who planned the Bulldawg Blitz at Walk-On's. He said "IF YOU ARE STILL AROUND NEXT YEAR", you might want to look for a different venue!
Re: Guess who the only team without a 10th assistant will be
I understand wanting to do the blitz in Shreveport but Silver Star or Ralph & Kacoos are definitely better options than Walkons imo.
Re: Guess who the only team without a 10th assistant will be
That said, I imagine the rationale for Walkons could relate to their sponsoring of the Independence Bowl. It's not a bad idea to play nice with them.

You think the total salary pool for assistant football coaches is in the neighborhood of 2 mil?

Kent, why don’t you just go ahead and tell them what you are itching to say.

Whoever planned the event went really cheap with the food options! They should have had Tuscan Chicken, VooDoo Shrimp, etc!

And even if it is that much, what does it say about a program when it has to pay through the nose to put a staff together?

Tuscan Chicken? VooDoo Shrimp? How much money do you think we have?
Enough for a 10th assistant?

I think he means for the $25/plate that was spent by fans.
Re: Guess who the only team without a 10th assistant will be
Ryan Moats is moving back to Ruston, perhaps he could fill the slot, if our admin can find the money.

I'm the biggest Ryan Moats fan that I know. Seriously, you won't find anyone who roots harder for him than I do. I hope that we can find a role for him. I'd love for him to be an offensive analyst or a graduate assistant. I do not believe hiring him to be the 10th assistant would be a good move right now.
