UAPB Head Football Coach

What I say about the hire is at least UAPB is serious about their football. The athletic department wasn't so incompetent like our school that they waited until after recruitment was almost over to make a hire. I think he will get the support he needs to turn things around, go get em Golden Lions

It’s not like we’ve never been serious about our football program.
Chris Robinson took the helm of our Athletics Department just prior to the COVID 2021 Spring Season. While he’s still new to the position, he’s not new to our athletic policies and past practices. AD Robinson (Chris, not Ashley) has seen and unfortunately knows all too well the damage that comes with late recruiting. I had texted him right after Thanksgiving, explaining my desire to see UAPB do a serious inquiry search and good hire, and stop the lazy practice of selecting interims as HFCs. I also told him that while I appreciate his commitment & dedication to our Athletics, I was very concerned about the morale of our 🏈 team. Since he’s always worked closely with our Alumni Chapter (in both capacities of student recruitment & athletics), he took time to respond, thanking me for my continued support of him & assurance that he is still working diligently to resolve & improve athletic issues including our 🏈 program.

With the exception of the late Maurice “Mo” Forte, I’ve never seen my UAPB fire any HFC before the season officially end. When Gamble was (finally) fired, that was pretty telling. And I don’t think I’ve ever seen any UAPB HFC announced as a new hire BEFORE the year ended. That was VERY telling!

They’re very small, but to me, it’s indication that much needed changes are taking place.

I get the feeling that if my UAPB gave him a 5 year deal, and we bottomed out the SWAC, you’d be the first one to say something like,

“They shouldn’t have wasted that money for a 5 year flop out. 2 years, 3 at best”.

Most will get at least a 4 year deal so they can see their recruits threw

He signed the contract so obviously he's ok with the 3 year deal. No need in tying yourself down for 4-5 years with dead weight when you don't have to. They'll be able to get an idea of where the program is going.

And then offer an extension if the right direction is achieved.

The message that the 3-yr deal says is: right now, immediately! This has to CHANGE right now, immediately. Recruit for, implement, practice, and play for POSITIVE CHANGE right now, immediately.

Kudos to UAPB for the hire/contract and hope it works well in UAPB's favor.

Bubba's ass should've been on a 3 year contract.
