Re: Napier Shooting straight
First time I have ever heard someone in the athletic department tell it how it was
from Hud's peanut butter speech , SF baseball debacle, Babs baseball construction excuse, Mike Murphy's last interview THIS IS WHAT FANS WANT TO HEAR NOT BS EXCUSES
Re: Napier Shooting straight
Good to see a coach set aside coach speak and "shoot straight". Winning solves a multitude of woes.
Coach Napier Addresses Attendance Question
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Tonight Billy Napier addressed the attendance woes. Saturday UL "placed" a season low 17,068 fans in the stadium. Coach spoke for several minutes on the topic hitting many of the usual talking points, but also shouldering some of the blame. <a href="https://t.co/sn4B9CQBQE">pic.twitter.com/sn4B9CQBQE</a></p>— Andrew Clay (@AndrewClayTV) <a href="https://twitter.com/AndrewClayTV/status/1057804974997016576?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 1, 2018</a></blockquote>

I don’t think the general public/ casual fan type does yet, but they will soon enough
Re: Napier Shooting straight
Very sincere and forthright. In time, fans will want to run through walls for him.
Re: Napier Shooting straight
Sadly it will probably be the same old story with the casual fan...you won't know what you have until it is gone. If Napier keeps this up he will get offered a lot more money somewhere else and only then will the casual fan realize how good they had it.
Re: Napier Shooting straight
"Saturday UL "placed" a season low 17,068 fans in the stadium."
Although terrible for my wife and I to look around on Saturday and have our choice of seats, this is STILL not as bad as the Toothpick days - before Bustle - when we are VERY concerned with meeting the (then) requirement to average 15K per game to stay 1A.
Re: Napier Shooting straight
We'll be fine.....as Robe has stated many times and I agree.....when you lose your fans it's tough to get them back.....winning and winning the right way will do this...
Re: Napier Shooting straight
Every time he speaks it makes me happier that he is leading our football program; I echo the sentiments stated here!
GEAUX CAJUNS!
Napier shoulders some of blame when it comes to FB attendance
One look around the CajunField Saturday made you wonder, where are all the fans?
Louisiana's 17,068 fans in attendance Saturday was the smallest home crowd this season. While that number is still about 1,500 higher than last season's average the number is still disappointing for a program with a first year head coach. In Mark Hudspeth's first season Louisiana averaged more than 29,000 fans according to the NCAA's official attendance report.
Re: Napier Shooting straight
WOW, that’s telling it like it is. I’ve absolutely got a man crush on Coach Napier.

I was wondering how this year compared to last year

Yeah, and my thoughts also extend to the guy who hired him. We're making SOLID progress on multiple levels. Patience grasshoppers.
Re: Napier Shooting straight
If fans don’t want to come out and support the Cajuns, they need to come out and support Coach Napier and his staff. Love that guy!!!!

I agree. No sugarcoating it there. First time ever I have heard a coach here tell it like it is. Win and they will come. Don't get embarrassed on national television. Don't lay an egg to an inferior opponent at home for the conference opener.

He did not get a pass for any of those. Nobody wants to eat chicken _____e.
He should be rewarded for what is happening now. Making chicken salad out of chicken _____e.
Wear black and they will be back.

Re: Napier Shooting straight
I am proud to have Napier at the helm. Not only hearing him say the right things here, but simply watching his team play in the 4th quarter. This team has no quit and plays hard all 4. That is a direct reflection of Napier IMO. I won’t quit on them.
I just wish more casual fans could see what I and many of the fans that do show up see. I think they will over time.
