Just went back and read my story from his hiring, and it was indeed five years.

Bad arguement Cedar Jimmy! U too Haize cause u agreed.
Bigsouthking wrote:What does Jeff Meyer mean??Jeff Meyer
LUConn -- that point is stupid, RD won a ring, left RMK studs also...
*editors note, I have also been critical of RD plenty of times, but when he needs defending I will do that....fair & balanced --
LUconn wrote:does that mean he's going to stop tweeting about racing?Probably not. He'll still cover a lot of racing for us and Danville.

RD has a title and winning Big South conference record, plus has 2, 1, & 2 finishes ---->
If you reread all the post on thread you'll see why I bring it up.... Cider Jim post Layer Conference record, I say that can't be a reason to defend Layer if RD got canned for same if not better conference finishes...(if Layer keeps having juco's quit, he may have APR problems, how do you defend that LUCONN?).
Cider Jim wrote:Big South King, are you forgetting RD's 3-13 Big South Conference record in 2005-06? I'd bet the farm that Coach Layer will do better than that this year. Coach Layer's WORST Big South Conference season was last year, where he finished .500 and still got 9 wins, which is TRIPLE what RD had in '05-06.See above

Bigsouthking wrote:Yes Jim I remember... But also don't forget RD reloaded the squad the following year to finish 4th -- also now the League plays more conference games= more winning opportunity for Layer... Even Roy went to NIT in 06 or 07, he rebounded to win title a few years later... Coach K quit on team in 96 cause he knew they sucked he obviously went on to win another title....Read an earlier thread. Ill give it a pass this one time. I vowed that if I ever saw RD name posted I would post Jeff Meyer.
Haize ---> not sure what you mean by Jeff Meyer, but he never deserved to be fired or forced out... Best coach in LU history.

Bigsouthking wrote:It's irrelevant. Wasn't a ban --- and it's not like LU has played for a title anyway....RD didn't get fired for W-L record or lost scholarships. Doesn't it strike you funny he hasn't even sniffed a D1 interview and there are several former LU athletic department employees that work at schools where a coach(s) have been hired? I don't want to even hint he has done anything illegal or immoral, because that is not the case. I am sure he is a good man, just has to play some things differently if he gets another chance.
