Will he/she be successful? Time will tell but good Lord I don't want to hear "we cant do anything because of the big bad wolf"....

The greatest hope for a better future is the new leadership. I share your opinion that we will not know what the true sentiment of the new president will be toward athletics (and football in particular) until he takes the helm. This is one of the most pivotal events in the history of the university. I truly hope that the next president isn't simply a "casual fan" but a business minded person who comprehends that having a great football program contributes to the overall success, in every area, of a university. It has been proven over and over.
As for the immediate, none of us accept mediocrity. We just differ on when to pull the plug and start over. I also hold the opinion that having a blow out on here is fine. But, continuous slamming of the current situation on here is not the trigger to make change. If your mission is to demand change, you must hire a female to streak during the upcoming football game with a banner trailing behind her, specifically spelling out your demands. It is the only way. Do not allow the banner to disrupt my view of the streaker. That will only bring on a chorus of boos. Have her tie off the light weight banner to her neck and waste, and allow at least 18 inches of space between her back and the start of the banner. Oh, and pick a nice one... you know what I mean. I do not accept mediocrity. Preciate it.

Having an accurate, big-armed quarterback who could lead U.L. down the field when needed would be preferable, though. Having said that, I think the guy could possibly be a professional athlete at another position down the line. Because of this, I really believe that he could be more valuable to the team at another position where he could get the ball in the open field and use his considerable talent. The fact that he plays so hard is something to admire. Also, he's not the main problem with team, of course. The defense doesn't seem to be able to make the big stops. _
Exactly. Have him, Fenroy, and Wallace in the lineup with that QB you're talking about and we'd be destroying people.

We had an accurate big-arm QB who could lead us down the field with Jon Van Cleave. That worked out really well, didn't it? As to getting Desormeaux the ball in the open field, that is exactly what the zone read option does; give the ball to the TB or the QB, whichever is uncovered, with a good seam and a chance to make a big play. Sorry it's not working out. Oh, that's right, we are among the nation's leaders in rushing offense. _
Yeah and we have an 0-5 record.
