Does Lamar play football? They lost to Mc Neese today. Major Bowden had a KO return. The former QB from China Spring's championship team. How do they manage to get talent and not win. Finished up 1-10. Coaches 3rd season. How long?

Yes, total record over 3 years is 5-23 including the 2-4 covid season.  Hard to be interested in a program that is always a loser and basically not competitive at all.

If Lamar wants the football program to survive they have an opportunity to do the right thing.  The right thing is to take their time and do their due diligence and find the best coach possible.  But, like I've always said, there are no guarantees!  But, if you make rush judgments or buddy deals then those will surely guarantee sad fans!

If Lamar wants to hire a good coach they will have to open up their pocketbook and upgrade the salary to somewhere in the $350,000 to $400,00 or more in my opinion. I know that's not going to bring in the top coaches but it will peak the interest of some young up and coming guru who has been successful as a coordinator in DII or other divisions. With what they pay now is why they can't bring anybody other than these guys that say they have coached before but Junior League shouldn't count. The guys they bring in don't know anything about this area and don't recruit it. They need to bring in somebody that knows the area and gives the athletes around here an incentive to stay home. There's not much to do in this area but if you put a winning team on  the field, a lot of area talent would probably stay home. Barbay probably doesn't want it because he is probably making more as an assistant where he is. I don't think Briles would even sniff at it. I've heard someone mention Dodge but that's not going to happen either. He's happy and will not stoop down to the level Lamar is at right now. He did that once before at North Texas and that didn't end well. I think he would elevate the program but it won't happen. Hopefully this new AD will convince administration to fork out more money and bring in somebody that can bring this program to new levels and bring community interest back to Lamar sports.

Who ever Lamar brings in must have Texas ties, coached here knows there way around the state good relationship with hs coaches, and promise to recruit this area better.

 

I know everyone wants to open up the pocketbook for the head coach but dont forget it takes a village, they need to pay those coordinators and assistant coaches as well..

There is not enough top talent in this area to win with. Straight from a former Lamar recruiter and a Coordinator’s mouth.

They have the money to still pay the coordinators as well as other coaches. They just chose not to give anymore money to the athletic department then they already do. Look at Vincent Beck. That place is in dire need of a major upgrade. They need a new locker room with a coaches office in the actual building itself. The bathrooms are definitely need upgrading. If they only realized that if you have successful programs that the money will come back because people around here will go and support them. Nobody wants to go pay money to watch your hometown team get their arse kicked day in and day out.

I understand there is not enough talent around here to win with. But there is talent here that are going other places that are not recruited by Lamar. I'm not talking about the top tier 5* or 4* athletes but there are some very good 3* athletes that are going off to McNesse, SFA, Sam Houston, Mary Hardin Baylor, ULL and other schools the same level as Lamar that they could keep home. Yes, I unerstand they need to recruit other places as well but if you keep local talent from going away then that puts fans in the seats because family and friends will come to see them play. Which means increased attendance which in turn brings in more money for the school.

I don’t disagree with that one bit. That’s why I asked them about local recruiting. The problem (according to them) is the following:

1. Lamar has a horrible W-L ratio. There are better options for local talent 

2. Kids can go to those schools you mentioned above, still be relatively close to home, but get the “away from home” college experience (the first 2 reasons are why my son went to Mary-Hardin Baylor and won a National Championship with them last year)

3. You would need to recruit an entire local team to get even a few hundred extra people in the stands

I disagree. I don’t even like one of them, but he’s a great coach. You can’t ask a carpenter to build a house with hopes and dreams. Gotta have the right tools & materials to build a house, no matter how good the plans are. 

They didn’t even offer Fuselier and he ended being a star… not saying the whole team needs to be from setx but just 1 or 2 recruits from local area is not cutting it.

Once again, I don’t disagree. That sounds like a mistake to me. On a bright note, he can walk-on, prove himself and get a scholarship that way. That’s how I did it.

    • Where were the 8 Omaha teams in D1's preseason top 25 poll... 2. Florida 8. A&M 9. Tennessee 13. N.C.State 14. Virginia 15. North Carolina Kentucky - unranked Florida State - unranked
    • That TDS is really flaring. Now do Biden. You have way, way, way more material. And keep that bitter "you are better than me" jealousy tone you have with Trump. You know Biden, the one you want everyone to vote for instead of Trump. Somehow you didn't acknowledge my pleas for you to die a painful death. I was quite certain that is how you would have interpreted my previous post. I guess when your focus is Trump 24/7, nothing else matters.
    • I have a better one. The point that nobody wants to acknowledge is that Dems are crossing over to vote Trump in the primaries and in the general so he will win the presidency. That way Trump will get the blame when the Dems implement their sinister plan to deport all of the minorities in the country. They have already laid the groundwork...convincing everyone that Trump and Republicans are racist (without providing any proof). Then it will be just a matter of time to execute their White supremacy plan of the great purge of the dirty, unwashed, heathen, non-Whites that roam freely in this country. I think my theory is more viable than your theory. Maybe we can get some other ridiculous scenarios so we can start a poll.
    • But that’s what Trump’s fanboys don’t understand.  When he talked about sexually assaulting women, y’all laughed it off as “locker room talk.”  When it was proven that he raped E. Jean Carroll, you cried that it was all an injustice… a lie. Even though he’d already confessed to doing the same thing to other women.  John McCain has suffered and sacrificed more for his country than practically anybody, except possible gold star families… and Trump called him a loser or something to that effect. “Oh, it was a joke that no one was supposed to take seriously.” But when Trump, after disrespecting the sacrifices of one of our most valiant, y’all are like “just because Trump didn’t go to Omaha Beach doesn’t mean he isn’t pro military!” Really? All you have to do is listen to what he said about McCain’s service. Not McCain as an opponent, not McCain’s political views… about the fact that the man was tortured, probably raped, and who knows what all else for over five years for swearing an oath and putting on the uniform.  But all of y’all supposedly “pro military” people just laughed along with Trump. “Good one, Sir! Maverick my new-hind! Filthy Rino!”  I don’t understand how the same people (y’all) who probably always say “thank you for your service” to any veteran still support a guy who craps on the ones who suffered the most on our behalf.  It’s baffling. 
    • Wow. Do you actually believe your little scenario has any chance of alleviating you of your moral immaturity? Deflection at it's best...or worse. You seem to be a sad case. If you died today, I would be remiss if not attributing your cause of death to severe TDS, and of course, Covid. Look at that. I just made a joke about your death. You did not get offended. Nobody was offended. Not one person will accuse me of being hateful towards fellow human beings. But yet, you hate Trump because he made a similar crude comment about McCain. You tried to attribute that comment as evidence Trump hates the military. What grade level of schoolchildren do you think is laughing at you for that "less that adolescent" (hint, hint) comment. You used one crude comment in an attempt to justify your TDS. Now, when called on it, you try to deflect the whole topic. You are certainly not having any fun with this, but you sure are providing entertainment for the board. It's a shame you can't join in on the fun. I think even Big Girl might be to the point of giggling at the shamelessness you are exhibiting.
