I have to ask. Is the significant number of players and coaches leaving more about a respect for BN or a vote of no confidence in CMD and outlet athletic administration? Loyalty doesn’t seem to be the highest value. We are inbreeding by hiring coaches and players with ties to UL and not conducting national searches. This is beyond alarming! When is the football program and administration going to address our concerns.
It is about money. It's about career advancement (coaching in SEC).Quote:

Just because they had ties with this University does not mean they are bad coaches. Lets see what the season brings. In my opinion and the coach I have talked to we are going to be fine.
Agree. If these guys have a chance to go to UF in the same roles. Despite the pay being better, the prestige of being in the SEC will help their careers.Quote:

I couldn't disagree with your concerns more.
I worked for a national corporation. One of the benefits we had was the opportunity to move anywhere in the country except for three locations. Florida, Colorado, and California. If you wanted to move to those locations you had to resign and apply for a position there.
I’m just trying to say maybe these coaches love an opportunity to get huge pay raise in a destination state, instead of staying in Louisiana a declining state.
Chris Couch is finalizing an opportunity to rejoin Napier at the University of Florida.
Need a special teams coach now
Well ____! Hindsight being 20/20, Des shouldve just not hired any staff and wait til Billy is finished raping our entire staff and completes his staff hires. ____ Billy!

That’s unknowable.Quote:

Lane Train (FAU to OM)
Brian Hardin (Boise to Auburn)
And then these, but accounting for the fact P5s have larger staffs to bring from one school to the other.
Melvin Tucker (Colorado to Michigan state in 2020)
Brian Kelly (ND to LSU)
Lincoln Riley (OU to USC)
If we had media members worth a ____ they would do that research and out Napiers raid of UL into perspective rather than say “this is how it always happens.”
Smu has had only 1 player go to TCUQuote:

When did the NIL deals begin? That's probably the biggest motivator for the players leaving. Some are comparing 2019 and 2020 was the NIL in effect then? How many did billy take 4? Lacy getting paid by Get Gordon. Is Bailey getting paid? I saw where one of the Cajuns players is looking for a deal via his twitter account. If they are all here seeing their friends getting paid, the exodus will only get bigger in the future. It will have nothing to do with Des or any other future coach here.
