Roc you just don't have it.[/quote]What was Roc doing with all the subs?No one played over 30 minutes, 4 guys around 25 minutes, the rest in the teens.
UNLV Posted March 5, 2011 Report Posted March 5, 2011 I still say bring back Abatemarco. Yes he is annoying, but he is a great X and O guy who can turn the program into a winner, not in 5 years but in the first year. Tom Penders would be my second choice sense many of LU players were his recruits.
JJWooten Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 Since Roc still has a season left, let's use his looks to his advantage, have Lamar buy a bunch of used Cars, and see if Roc can sell some out of hte Montagne Center parking lot. No commission, he already makes over 100K! ;D ;D ;D
Lazeek Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 Sad that the season is over, but am HOPEFUL that we don't have to see that sorry no good excuse for a coach next season!!!!

They need to offer at leat $200K for this position and get a proven winner that isn't over 60. I would be worth it because Lamar has proved in the past that if they win people will fill the Montagne Center and they could average over 7K which would more than pay for the Head Coach and coaching staff.

football04 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 You gotta do something with Roc before you can hire anyone else. I wonder how long it will take before there is a news conference and a decision whether Roc will stay or go, surely Lamar will not leave everyone hanging without an answer one way or the other.
77 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 Congrats to the Cowboys men and women conf. champs.
bobbymcgee Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 What a great year for McNeese men and women winning conference in the same year. I like the idea of Penders. I think he could do well here. Also like UT asst coach Rodney Terry.

Lamar needs to say no to "has beens" and assistants that can "grow" into a head coach. Bring in a proven winner, even a head coach from a lower level who has shown time and again they can quickly turn a program around and win. Someone who has moved up the ranks and still wins, no matter the level.

WOSgrad Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 There is no need to bring back Tom (as Al Caldwell once put it) "Abadremarco." He had nothing but disdain for Lamar and the Golden Triangle. And by the time he was through sending the Lamar program into the toilet the Lamar students (of which I was one) and the Golden Triangle was sick of him. He is not a good coach, he is not a good recruiter. He failed at Lamar, he failed at Drake.The only thing he ever accomplished in basketball was being lucky enough to be on a bench as Jim Valvano's assistant when Thurl Bailey threw down a rebound on a Derek Whittenberg airball in the last seconds of a national championship game in 1983. If he is the best that Lamar U. could come up with as far as a basketball coach to replace a hopefully soon to be gone Roc (who interestingly enough reminds me a lot of Abadremarco), then Lamar basketball needs to go by way of Lamar football in the 1990's and shut it down!
bigred360 Posted March 6, 2011 Report Posted March 6, 2011 So, grad are you an Lamar alumnus or just attended for a few years? Obviously, you went to law school somewhere else.
