If you 2 can’t understand why ALL players who are dressed out and representing the team should act like they mean business...I can’t help you...

What part of kick them off the team did you not understand?

Nailed it!

I said I don't have the patience for a 3 year build and I don't! I didn't say I quit, or I'm done. But anyone that is going to call me out because they can't take hearing we are bad can GFT!

Many of us are getting on in years and don't have many years left to enjoy what will hopefully be a turnaround. Understand that patience can be lacking with everything we have been through with our program. Still a three year rebuild is what I see in this process. Not enough talent on defense right now to have it occur much quicker.

Apparently you have not seen too many college football games because every school has their RS and 3rd teamers jumping up and down .

Thank you. It's become the norm on the sidelines.

I did see some players grooving to music on the field too. But, these commercial breaks combined with music are the blame.

The in game experience at Cajun Field is far, far, from perfect. Shut the hype music down between plays! Isn't that why there are college matching bands?

Nobody called you out big guy so settle down. As a matter of fact, I was using you as an example that CC was wrong. I have no problem with you being critical but and I have been very critical myself but you were the only one, at the time, that I could think of that supported my argument.

How about some perspective, Neal Brown went 4-8 (3-5) at Troy in his first year, then 10-3 (6-2) in 2016, 11-2 (7-1) SBC title and win over LSU in 2017 and 3-1 so far with win at Nebraska so far in 2018. First time head coach and he had been at Troy already before.

The fact that we lost is not what concerns me. Its the fact that if we didn't know we had completely done a coaching overhaul we would have thought we were watching a game from last year.

Until the players break out the glowsticks and start rave dancing, I don't give a crap.

I am not saying coaching isn’t important, it is. But if I had the choice between Alabama’s roster or Coach Saban I would take the players. Saban is not winning more than 6 games with our current roster. Hud could coach us to a New Years Day Bowl game with the Bama players. I think several people here have said it succinctly...Napier is here to build a program, not take our current roster and turn it in to a winner. When we upgrade the talent level of the team we will see more wins and a more “professional” outfit. It’s that simple.

Exactly!
