It's the MONEY TREE and not the SABAN TREE that is giving us difficulties at this time.

Everyone wants to hitch their wagon to a guy who has a chance at a P5 job .

Yes and those coaches and young people look at the coach and who he worked for and what he did and where he’s been prior to coming here. That made Napier very attractive to some one from the outside. Unfortunately our coach doesn’t have a very big resume from that stand point. If our coach hired a coordinator with play calling experience the coordinator would have a better resume than he does.

You know who is a hell of a play caller, with lots of experience coordinating offenses, and one of the best offensive minds in the game, with lots of connections in college football? Jay Johnson. Jay has worked under a defensive minded coach the last 2 years who is a saban disciple just like Billy. Not sure why I mentioned that just thought I’d throw that in.

I'm pointing out that the "connections" argument people are using to say Des isn't qualified to be a head coach is nonsense. Look at Matt Powledge, who Napier hired in 2018. Was that a Saban connection? No, it was a Leger connection. People are looking for any reason to down Des & the current staff (many where hired by Napier) instead of looking at the big picture.

Our coach worked under the hottest P5 prospect for that P5's entire tenure as a head coach and had the stamp of approval from the hottest P5 prospect to be our next head coach.

You can't crown Napier king in one moment then relegate him to pawn in the next.

You don't like Des, we get it. You've posted the same things under multiple names on different social media sites. How about you actually give him & his staff a chance to coach before calling to fire him.

Exactly what I'm getting at! People are posting nonsense due to emotions clouding their judgement. Not many look at facts before posting.

Because that one guy opened the gate on the "Fire Des" concept and all of those laying in wait immediately jumped on the band wagon. It just took the first one to get the calvary rolling.

You aren’t going to talk many people into thinking a guy who never left his alma matter (outside of to coach high school) was qualified to get this job. The flip side of that is that no matter how loud the few may be, the people saying he doesn’t deserve his fair shot now that he has the job are just that…few. ON PAPER this hire doesn’t make sense. Legacies aren’t made on paper. CMD will make his own legacy.
