Early 2018 Football Expectations Poll

[Cajunsmike]

His resume has 0 head coaching experience and maybe no experience at anything but elite P5 schools. I’m confident he will be a good coach but I’m not gonna claim him to be the savior just yet. He will face the same uphill battle to win here that all of our previous coaches have.

He spent a year at Colorado State. In fact he mentioned in one interview that he found that one year invaluable as it showed him the resource difference between the two sides of the tracks.

"I do not expect to win" Not even 1 game ?!?!?

I think he meant he did not expect a winning season.

I think Maggard did his homework when it came to hiring coaches. Glasco overly impressed me this year with the hand he was dealt. Can't wait to see what he can do in year two, three and beyond.

As for Coach Napier, he is totally opposite of Coach Hud. Coach Hud was a rah, rah guy. He accomplished a lot in his first two-three years, but the rah rah finally wore off.

Coach Napier gives me the impression he is a teacher/results oriented type of person. And if you still can't get it, he will find someone who can. Unfortunately, you have to give a new football coach 2-3 years before you start getting true results. I expect we will have about 7 wins this year, give or take a win.

But it is time for this university to explode onto the football world. There is no reason why this can't be a top 20 team each and every year, getting into the top 10 every ten years or so. NO MORE MORAL victories. If I have to hear "they played tough and should look on this as a moral victory" one more time, when playing the Alabama's, MState's, FLA, GA...….I might just jump off the Cajun Field wall.


It's time to kick their butts and just get the victory.

I agree with the view of Coach Napier being likened to a teacher. He appears to be a very cerebral type of person.

Napier reminds me of Robe...bigger on the priocess than results. Buy into the process and results will come. Cares about the players becoming men

But if he doesn't produce the results, the axe will fall on him.

I agree, that's how he comes across to me as well.

We can only hope he produces half the results Robe has

So that would be postseason in 25% of his seasons then. Robe is at 50% postseason rate during his 24 years.

If we throw to the TE just 2 or 3 times during the season, and hit a receiver on a crossing route at least once, it will be a success! LMAO!!!
