Nola Coaches plan Boycott of LSU (1 Viewer)

[You]

In the wake of the demotion of and now departed Jabbar Juluke, several New Orleans black head coaches are planning a meeting tomorrow night (thrs) to discuss a possible boycott of LSU. They are upset at the way Orgeron handled the situation in that he kept Juluke around through signing day to make it appear as though he intended to keep him around. Juluke was responsible for the New Orleans area recruiting and helped bring in Narcisse and others.

Stay tuned.

I wonder why Juluke was demoted?
Did Juluke only recruit at these schools?
Why do these coaches think they have a say so in what goes on at LSU?

I wonder if LSU losing these in state guys, especially to Bama, had anything to do with it.

I can only speculate that Juluke was liked by some of these guys and they feel as though he got played by Orgeron.

Supposedly, Orgeron has folks lined up to address it in hopes that he can keep the situation under control.

"Two high school coaches, one who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said there will be no boycott of LSU football by local schools after the demotion of running backs coach Jabbar Juluke."

I'm sure the hiring of Mickey Joseph pacified them.

Word is that Texas Tech has asked about Juluke.

Good on Jabbar. Hopefully this silly business where HS coaches are not putting the interests of their kids ahead of their personal feelings and pettiness is over.

Looks like coaches still plan to meet tomorrow but Orgeron and Joseph are engaged with the situation. Looks to me like some just feel the need for special consideration.

I have read that this is a somewhat regular meeting where the discuss 7-on-7 teams, spring/summer camps, etc. to collaborate and pool resources. This "boycott" is just another topic to be discussed. I have also heard that a couple of schools (including Landry-Walker) have said they will not be attending. I think this whole boycott thing is being overblown by the media. No more recruiting, spring ball is a few weeks away, etc so nothing much to talk about right now.

Boycotting LSU would be a dumb move on the part of the HS coaches.

Meanwhile in Shreveport...

Orgeron works for LSU, not Craig and Juluke. Firing coaches and coaches moving on after signing day isn't new. It's a pretty common occurrence. Sarkisian waited until after signing day to leave Bama. Craig left Auburn after signing day. JaJuan Seider left WVU for UF after signing day. Stan Drayton left OSU for the Bears after signing day. Peveto was let go by Miles the first time after signing day. These were not spur of the moment decisions, but moves that were in the works well before signing day. Sometimes their promotions; Sometimes they're terminations. regardless they're kept quite to avoid negative impacts to recruiting.

You commit to a school not a coach.
