Early 2018 Football Expectations Poll

[Just1More]

Hint, hint. It may be a tight end's coach at Miss St.

That was pure coincidence. But in reading it again... I can see where you might make that connection.

[Rainman66]

Completing passes between the hashes and having DBs within a yard of the man they are covering. Yes, I am easy to please.

[Esqueleto]

I don't care about wins or losses this year. I want to see tailgating spots full of drunken Cajuns. I want to see a packed, enthusiastic student section. I want to see exciting, competitive football. I want this season to be the start of something special. Can you smell what the Nape is cooking??!!

[Crowley Cajun]

One more thing. No more off the field issues.

[ManAboutTown]

Oh, we'll win some games. But that isn't my expectation. I want to see the groundwork laid for future EXCELLENCE. I am not concerned about how many games we win in the first year.

I want (and expect) to win championships. That will take a little time. Therefore, 2018 doesn't concern me that much.

There is no quick fix for excellence.

This is exactly what how I’m approaching it.
But for conversation sake, Vegas has our futures win total at 5. I think worst case scenario, we win 6 games.

So you are suggesting that people should flock to invest in the over?

[zephyr]

By no means do I expect the man to suddenly hang the moon. But when the greatest coach in college football calls our AD to put a good word in, that says a lot. He has two national championship rings from his 5 year stint at Alabama, and he was named OC at Clemson at the age of 29. There were even a lot of Arizona State fans that wanted him as the HC over Herm Edwards.

I will also reserve judgement until after the season, but with the finances that we have invested in he and his coaching staff; I expect him to be successful in the long run.

I like to judge based on results on the field. Excitement is great but it doesn't ensure that a man can prepare a team for games and build a program. That is where his resume lacks. I know that we have to take chances on up and comers at our level. I get it and I'm encouraged and excited moving forward as well but I am not going to make a mistake of assuming certain results when the person we are judging cannot be judged based on lack of experience at the given position. Time will tell.

I'm telling you guys, we're going to take some pretty significant steps back here. The momentum Hud has building for this program has been interrupted. 2018 was going to be a huge season with Hud still here.

Now, there's just way too many question marks and instability.

Bruh, you started drinking Ghost a little early today?




This batch is so good

I think this could be a mirror image of the 2011 season when Hud first got here. He inherited more talent than given credit for and he infused that with a few direct impact guys. You know the rest and we won our first bowl game in my lifetime. I think the stage is similar although we don't have as much experience or talent on defense this time around but we have some offensive weapons.

I know most people are saying they don't expect a ton of wins but I think we have some wins in us and if we go something like 3 or 4 wins this season, I'll be disappointed. If Napier is that good, I think you could see a surprisingly decent year.

Don’t dismiss the kicking game . If Artigue is out , that is a tremendous blow !

My football prediction is that Kaplan will be the vermillion parish champs.

My football prediction is that Kaplan will be the vermillion parish champs.

Is that right below winning a state championship?
