Look at Buckley . . . finishing the year with a nice piece . . . GEAUX Louisiana Football, GEAUX CMD . . . set the goals high and persevere . . .

10 wins in Des' first season would be remarkable.

10 wins should be the floor next season. the 4 OOC games are fairly easy. seems like momentum for 6 western division games, again fairly easy. thats 10 wins right there. depending on the 2 eastern teams draw, lets call for a split. you are now at 11 wins with a CCG and Bowl game to seal the final record.

Even with FlSt being down, I wouldn’t call that game fairly easy. And the western division will be improved.

Zeon Chriss will 100% play next year in some capacity.

Love all of the options CMD has at QB next year . . . Just can’t see how QB can be a real worry for next year . . . Lots of talent on our roster at QB . . .

Buckley delivers click bait to finish the year.

True statement

This team still has a lot of talent (as long as Napier keeps his distance). We should be in most games, and there will be a learning curve with the new staff, but we shouldn't see a huge drop off, maybe 9 minimum wins, 11 max. I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to Coach Des and staff until I see otherwise.

It’s fun to dream when the subject of the dream is realistic . . .

One of your QB’s will be running the team . . . How can you be so pessimistic . . .

You believe posters who liked another QB than Levi believed that QB would throw interceptions if played?

You can’t have it both ways . . . If you were of the faction that believed we had better QB’s on the bench, you should be in the faction that believes we should do pretty good next year . . .

Its not a automatic book it prediction, the team and coaching staff still has to put in the work. get lucky with injuries and things like that, but unless you are a believer that the Western division will not only close the gap but surpass it, we should sweep them again and should win the non P5 games, on paper we should get to 9 wins by just being consistent with the current cULture. that leave 5 more games to have another special season if things fall right.

Do you want to be a glass half full kind of guy or a glass half empty kind of guy . . . I believe with all we have to work with, we are more likely than not to have 10 plus wins next year . . .

Even though everything looks like a nail to you, make no mistake, not once did I ask for another QB all year.

I am very happy about the QB talent we had on the bench together with a new recruit . . . None of them are nails, but one of them may well turn into the hammer that we now need . . . I’m a woodworker, not a carpenter, woodworkers have very little use of the hammer or nail . . .

When?

No need to ask about last year, it’s in the books with Levi . . .
