"Just because you do things the right way does not mean it's always going to work in your favor."
Excellent life advice. That was definitely something I had to learn coming of age.
We still riding with you Coach Des. Let's go.Quote:

I’m biased, he’s a Cajun. But I want more than I ever have for this program to success with Dez.
Let Geaux Dez!! Let’s Geaux Cajuns!!!!
That's quite the definitive statement there based on just over a year's results and under .500 record.Quote:

. . . Many guys here are still trying to hold CMD to the standard in year 1 that it took Napier a few years to achieve . . . after Napier took a good bit of what he achieved with him . . . It don’t work that way . . .Quote:

. . . a hurdle Napier did not have to deal with while here . . .
Winning takes care of everything!

For many, returning to norm was not as simple as flicking a switch.
