Zydeco hired Gary Gill this morning as Director of Hockey Operations.

Gill was the HC at Monroe last season.

This tells me our new HC has zero connections in this league and can't pull talent. Either that, or he can't evaluate veteran talent at this level.

Let's hope it makes a difference with our reputation among the league at signing free agents.
Don’t sleep on Denham Springs. They’re riding a 6 game win streak, and the offense has put up 41, 63, 42, 51, 62, and 54 points in those six. An average of 52 ppg. And 4 of those 6 are playoff teams
Anybody got a final from East Jeff & Higgins this morning?
Yes. Lost in the wild card game last year.

This year's team is significantly less talented than last year.

Colgan
Bernard
Thornton
Lindberg
Elijah Wilson

All gone.

Forwards aren't bad but the defense outside of our top pair, and goaltending sucks. We can skate but we get pushed around the ice.

Also, no league veterans want to play here because of all the sketchy crap with ownership and previous coaches, so we can't really improve our situation unless we find a diamond in the rough coming from college.

Also, we have a ridiculous track record of trading away good players and getting nothing in return.
Best coach on the board. We'd be stupid to not go after him.

You gotta look beyond the schedule, the QB etc. It's the coach hiring and culture and grit that program has. That's what we want here.

The "He loves LSU" argument

Posted by TXGunslinger10 on 10/29/25 at 9:38 am
I could give a rat's arse about whether the next coach loves LSU or not.

It's a business transaction. LSU is hiring you to do a job. Not everybody loves where they work. Doesn't mean that they're not awesome at their job.

To quote Philip Seymour Hoffman from Patch Adams...

"But you ask anyone on their death bed whether they want a prick as their doctor, or some kindergarten teacher that is going to kiss their arse...because when that day comes...I want the prick. And so will you."
People clearly don't understand the magnitude of this hire. This time, it is a make or break type of hire. We are teetering on the edge and we're not going to entrust Frank when we're on the brink of the program being a complete non-factor in college football. Honestly, it wouldn't be fair to him.

This is the kind of bullcrap that got Orgeron hired. Do us all a favor and sit this one out.
I don’t understand some of yalls infatuation with an interim coach.

It doesn’t matter what the interim does. It’s a band aid solution. We need a long term fix and that starts with hiring a proven seasoned coach.
Program maintainer. Not a program builder.

And who do we think we are? Ohio State is the top job in the country. You're not even calling this guy.
I've got nothing against the flexbone. Just that the recruiting strategy going from Flexbone to spread took some significant changes over multiple years.
Can you spell the guy's name right at least?
Nobody likes the fact that we're soft and can't run the ball.

This guy is the answer to that. Plus, he's resurrected GT from flexbone wasteland to the top 10.

Offensive line guy. Former OL coach at Alabama under Saban.

His defenses play tough at the LOS and they just look like a thoroughly well coached team.

He's a relatively young guy who is going to come in here and WORK. I don't get what's not to like.

A coach like Day usually doesn't have much success outside of an established program like Ohio State.

He's a program maintainer. Not a program builder.
80% sure he would be my guy if I was AD

If I were calling the shots at LSU I wouldn't give him a chance to tell me no.

Offensive line & trenches pedigree. Only unknown is how is he with replacing QB's.
