I understand your angle, and agree.

Why are we even still discussing this? Des is the coach. He will continue to improve his in game decisions and win some games.

If he doesn’t, he won’t be the coach after his contract is up. Why is this even still a topic.

Who Des? His sister, his 2 brothers and he started at St Edwards in elementary. The recruiters could see the talent at the kindergarten level.

Just a little history to explain the derivative.

I was in the last class of all boys.

Everybody recruits in New Iberia.

What hurt in da berry was the creation of Westgate for pure patronizing political reasons. NISH & WHS combined today aren’t usually graduating the number of students NISH did in the 70’s. Can’t fault Des playing where he did, no stability in programs elsewhere back then.

Could have put freshmen/sophomores at Westgate rest at NISH. Much like they do in some metro areas of Texas. But no…

Dr. Maggard made a great hire in Billy, but to call his resume elite...

Got passed over for Herm Edwards. Ever see his resume? Hem’s goal was to keep Napier as OC hire a good DC and be a pro style coach. Billy through a monkey wrench in that plan.

Yea if anyone says he was recruited to go to Cath-NI they are stupid. Kind of like saying Peter should have played at Erath. :;
