Yes, you see, just legitimate concerns being raised. Totally level headed and sensible.

He also assisted Burrow with recognizing the packages as well as each team’s tendencies. Obviously Munoz did a great job since he was one of three coaches personally invited by Burrow to sit at his table attending the Heinsman Award Ceremony. Pretty special! For detractors unhappy he coached across the pond, put on your blinders for the sake of objectivity…

Yep, he's done an excellent job recruiting to LCA thus far

Re: Coach DMeaux New Staff
So for offense, my question is - what’s your flavor? High passing or High rushing? I’d prefer balanced attack. Something to the order of 2 - 1,000 yard rushers and a 3,000 yard passer over a 13 game schedule.

Interesting indeed.. Not sure I'm crazy about the culture at LCA though..

My preference is exactly what we are running right now. Just with a more capable passing QB.

Gerry and I discussed this on the pod last week. Napier was 58% RUN during this time at UL. I would like to continue ground & pound, control the LOS and play exceptional defense. I think its a championship formula and the most sustainable offensive plan.

Whatever fits our personnel. If our roster has no real changes to the offense come next year, I'd think you'd probably be on the ball although I don't think you will see 2 1,000 yard rushers. In our system, its hard enough to have one since we play so many guys. We should still have some talent at the WR spots as well so I'd like to see a balanced attack. OL will be a concern as we're losing 3 guys off this years team.

Re: Coach DMeaux New Staff
Our QB was often not given enough time. Way less than his opponents got. Glad he was lightning quick.

I agree with this totally.
Wait...did I just say that?

Re: Coach DMeaux New Staff
Right now, I actually can't think of a better hire than Coach Des! We want someone to continue the upward momentum that Coach Napier started here. Mike should know everything Billy has done to build, maintain AND IMPROVE the CAJUNS as a Top G5 program.

If we were a highly sought after HC job, wouldn’t it stand to reason we’ll get just as impressive applicants for the other openings?

Personal friend and good guy. He definitely fits the culture.

This right here. Maybe slide the percentages back and forth a little as talent dictates, but the 30,000 ft view is big boy football, running game dominant with a nasty defense.

Not necessarily. HC gets to set his own agenda and staff. I feel like assistants, especially coordinators are looking for spots where they can not only shine (BIG PLUS for UL), but get mentored and gain knowledge that will serve them well in their career.
Everything I have read about Coach Des makes me believe that he can mentor young coaches well about life and family, but it still comes back to experience. Will up and coming coordinators view him as someone they can learn and advance their career with. Only time will tell, but all UL fans hope he will be wildly successful.

Bustle blew up the Beamer Model while he was 2 wins ahead of Beamer when he fired his OC and DC.

Yeah baby!
Louisiana went undefeated the year Bill Belichick's dad coached at Louisiana.
Full circle.

There is actually a theory about this from my field of ecology, called the Ideal Free Distribution.
Consumers will, without thinking about it, distribute themselves according to resources. Take 10 dogs, put 30% of the food at one end of the room, 70% at the other, they will distribute themselves 3 & 7.
I'm not sure why yet, but I think the same thing may be true of strategy. You should distribute plays to match their success ratios. Now, the critical question is 'How many yards do you want/need?' But once you determine that, you should be able to calculate how often each play succeeds. If it's 60% run success, 50% pass success, you should probably pick them in that ratio, 6:5.
Probably.
But the catch is, the less you call particular kind of play, the more effective it will become. And some plays don't have to succeed, because they can create success with other plays: When you throw the occasional long ball, even if it fails, it spreads out the passing defense and increases the success of the run and the short pass.
It's something we need a game theorist to model... or maybe run a Monte Carlo simulation.
Yes, I'm showing off, but I always loved that name, 'Monte Carlo simulation.' It just means that, rather than calculate out the probabilities, you let a computer (or even real people) run the games over and over to see the outcomes...

Dude I love this. Correlation is not causation, it takes a deeper analysis than has traditionally been applied to football.
