Guess who the last team to get a 10th assistant will be

[Dawg Fan]

How was Walk-On’s?

Cramped. They had us in two connected rooms. Some folks had to stand because there weren't enough tables. The "meal" was a buffet with salad, red beans and rice, boudin balls, a pasta dish of some type, bread pudding dessert thingy. My wife and I thought the salad was good and everything else was just so-so (not bad, just not great). The guy to my wife's right remarked we paid $25 for some rice with not much meat and that the event should be moved back to Ralph and Kacoos. There was nothing about the place that made me want to go there again just as a place to eat. The employees were pleasant. It was our first time to attend the Bulldog Blitz so I'm glad we went, but Walk-Ons as the venue might not have been the best choice in my opinion.

Based on what Skip and Tommy said at the Bulldog Blitz in Shreveport tonight, it sounds like it is not a matter of if a 10th coach will be hired, it is a matter of when it will happen. It could even be before the season begins this year. But I guess we'll see if it actually happens.

Good to hear. I didn't think a bonehead decision such as this would be allowed to stand.

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!

[boxerdog]

I understand wanting to do the blitz in Shreveport but Silver Star or Ralph & Kacoos are definitely better options than Walkons imo.

[boxerdog]

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.

We know it’s many $$$ less than any other school in the country because we never hear the end of “doing more with less”.

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

[rabiddawg]

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!

you mean the lalaff smoke and mirrors when they announce a number but don't actually pay that much?

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?

Nailed it

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.

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.
