Eustachy a Class Act!

[Clones85']

Big whoopie. All hail LE.

Eutachy a class act...whatever. LE was a poor excuse of a man while at ISU and single handedly set this BBall program back 5-10 years with his escapades.

Poor excuse of a man? Your post is a joke. One guy can't set a basketball program back 5-10 years

What I am trying to argue which no one here is really getting is that he did earn the bonus! He just didn't earn his base salary! Cut your base salary in half and make larger bonuses based on wins, and it's all good.

He's in serious danger of losing his job and this was a stunt to keep it. I don't blame him for the problems in this program in the past, but I can't see why people can't see past this!

What was Southern Miss's record before LE?

What was Southern Miss's record before LE?

Before LE with Louisville, Marquette, Cincy still in C-USA

2002-2003: 13-16
2003-2004: 13-15

With LE, C-USA still having Louisville, Marquette, and Cincy:
2004-2005: 11-17

With LE, C-USA not having Louisville, Marquette, and Cincy:
2005-2006: 10-21
2006-2007: 20-11
2007-2008: 19-14
2008-2009: 15-17

No post season for Southern Miss in any of the 5 years. They are also pulling in the worst recruiting classes in the conference. I mean, I wouldn't expect them to be amazing, but you have schools like Marshall doing a better job recruiting than LE.

I will add in 2001 they won the share of the C-USA title...

LOL..The program went back to the post season twice since his departure. Maybe the firing of WM has set the program back 5-10. Of course he was fired because bad things were going to happen to the program or some other ghost story. Its all BS. I believe its because certain donors didn't approve of the style of play. Well look what we have now.

Our current coach hasn't out produced LE in terms of W/L record and we have a potential lottery pick on the roster. I dont think the bashing of LE based on WL record and recruiting by ISU fans is very smart. We arent exactly tearing through teams ourselves.

I was using this to show that he is going to be on thin ice soon. My argument is he gave back his salary since his job is in jeopardy because I think it really is. He's had 5 years to put a program in place and simply hasn't, plus they play in a garbage conference.

This wasn't intended to bash Larry on W/L. Just to show that he probably won't be there long unless they turn it around soon.

Wherever you saw that didn't include the two transfers sitting out this year, Derrick Character (former Louisville pf and former #1 recruit in the nation) and Angelo Johnson (former USC pg who saw key minutes for their Sweet 16 team)...with those two you can count Southern Miss' recruiting class for next year as the second best in the conference, only behind Memphis...they will also return Saiquone (sp?) Stone, who was their point guard that was injured for the season midway through this year, and a couple players ruled ineligible for this year...as well as returning every key player on their team.

So......LE has a couple of down-on-their-luck transfers, a couple players ineligible, and probably a couple who will transfer out at the end of the season........yup, sounds like a typical LE program.

No doubt he takes a lot of gambles on players that other programs stay away from due to attitudes, or academics...if it works out for him it's a homerun, and if it doesn't it's a strikeout...IF (and I know that's an IF) everyone is eligible and still on campus next year for Southern Miss, they are going to be a very good basketball team.
