2022 Coaching Carousel

Still a lot of complaints on campus about parking.

I guess the gravel lots are too far to walk? They are never full from what I have seen being on campus weekly.

Yes.

“Never any parking” actually just means “never a spot right in front of the building my class is in.”

[PawDawg]

Parking availability is certainly not a problem when it comes to infrastructure.

[Dawgonit]

Yes.

Can't agree more. Parking on campus is fine and I have said that since I was a student. Walking 20 minutes is normal everywhere in the world. People are spoiled when it comes to parking and driving.

Preach! There can be an argument made that we have more parking on campus than needed if taking into account all parking lots around the athletics areas and around the outskirts of campus.

Here comes the old geezer in me: "when I was a student, we didn't all have cars and walked to and from class". I would walk from Nielsen to Bogard dang near every day. Rain or shine. Kids today are just plain spoiled (no surprise there).

[MoonPieBlue]

Yes.

“Never any parking” actually just means “never a spot right in front of the building my class is in.”

And I'm here five minutes before the class starts. Man I just can't figure this out.

I usually parked in the 'Dog Trot' parking lot and walked everywhere on campus. Do I remember that correctly 'Dog Trot'?

I remember dump-poop SGA president spending something like $80,000 building a putt-putt course with no railings on the course. He probably is in Louisiana State government now.

[Dawgpix]

Crickets.

I can't remember a year when fall enrollment wasn't released by the end of September. 2021 enrollment was released on September 29, 2021.

Louisiana Tech outperforms in first-time freshman enrollment even after year filled with COVID-19 impacts | Louisiana Tech University (latech.edu)

It was always something like the 15th dayof classes the number was released.
Of course we don't have a news-generating marketing department (formerlycalled the Tech News Bureau). All news releases now must be reduced down to 143 characters. (sarcasm).

Hate to interrupt the conversation about parking and urban planning with actual sports news. But Neal Brown is trying to coach himself off the hot seat. They are singing 'Country Roads' in Morgantown as West Virginia upsets Baylor tonight 43-40 in a very exciting game.

The other Thursday night game not so exiting. UCF over Temple 70-13.

I doubt he succeeded. With a 3 point lead and 3 minutes left his QB threw an interception inside the WV 30 that allowed Baylor to tie the game. Was not a very smart play call, and execution by the QB was even worse.

WVU gets rolled if it wasn't for the very blatant cheap shop that knocked their qb out of the game -

It was brutal

Yeah he may have gotten fired this week had it not worked out in the end. His team responded great though after they got the ball back after Baylor tied the game.

I have a feeling based on this season’s early results that coach Cumbie already knows he’s an the coaching carousel. But it’s not the one where the fans (as few and far between as we are) and the powers at be all want him gone as much as it’s the carousel he wants to get off of and away from Tech ASAP. No doubt he’s already figured out what a really little fish Tech is in the big pond of small time college football and how far removed we are from being anything truly relevant.

Holtz left Tech with a sinking ship of any sort of reliable recruiting base and the thinnest of ranks of good quality talent. Meanwhile on the larger scale our Tech ship is being piloted by a clueless president and a make no waves AD. in other words we’ve hit an iceberg under our waterline and slowly going under.

Cumbie’s only way out at this point is turn straw into gold and get gone before his credibility as a competent coach gets blown completely out of the water. This Tech fiasco situation could end his head-coaching career about as quickly as it began.

Going into this season I’d seriously underestimated what kind of team Tech had talent wise. I thought Cumbie was going to coach us to a winning season on his coaching capabilities alone and then next year we were going to be back competitively and maybe even in the running for a conference championship contention. Now I think we’re at last 2 more years away from even building an athletically talented team and that’s on the optimistic side of things not taking into account if Cumbie can even develop or put together a competent coaching staff and then him lead it.

Tough times may only get tougher.

I didn't necessarily expect a winning season but I sure hoped we'd put something better than whatever this is on the field. I agree with you, we have very little talent left to fall back on even with perfect coaching.
