Ron Roberts is gone...

[angeleast]

Glad for Patrick!! He gets a chance to show his skills... High energy D coach is a positive thing.

[LaCajunsFan]

Agree we should congratulate him and wish him well. Hard to blame him for taking this opportunity. Has to be a substantial pay increase.

Yep, congrats to coach. Speaks so well of not only him but Napier and our program. In Napier I trust.

Then who replaces Patrick Toney?

Things already in the works for the #RaginCajuns to promote safeties coach Patrick Toney to DC. Expect this to be done soon, sources say. https://t.co/PpEAzu0ax7

I think this is best case scenario. Promote someone who has been a part of Roberts system for a long time.

[CajunT]

Congrats... but damn it. Time to find a jewel in the rough

Once Baylor hired Aranda, that was a game changer for Roberts. Otherwise I didn't see him leaving after the recent approval for salary increase for the staff. I hear Coach Toney is being considered for the DC position.

I was afraid of this.

[Mr Beaux Jany]

Is he the best choice ? This is sad news, our D was just getting better.

[CajunVic]

I was afraid of this.

I figured either Aranda or O would poach him, but the poaching was going to happen.

SOURCE: #Louisiana head coach Billy Napier will be promoting safeties coach Patrick Toney to DC (to replace Ron Roberts who is headed to Baylor) and also is hiring #Georgia Defensive Analyst Austin Armstrong to coach ILBs. Toney is considered a rising star in the coaching biz.

Hate to lose Coach Roberts, but congratulations to him! It is a great sign that Coach Napier, his assistant coaches and this Cajun program is built on solid ground and will not be a one year wonder. This will continue to happen as long as UL continues to be successful. It sucks, but it is something we have been praying for, for a long time!

This is a huge loss, but not unexpected, to lose a DC to a Big XII school is not a bad thing, shows our staff is in demand. Coach Roberts did an amazing job while he was here and deserves to opportunity to showcase his ability on the big stage. This is good, because if like has been said he does not want to be a head coach anymore, being a DC at a Big XII school is a huge step up. We should want this for more of our coaches.

Coach Toney will step up, no issues, now lets see who replaces him.

[RaginDave]

So we get an SEC Defensive Analyst to coach our linebackers......I think this is a good move. Coach Toney will probably keep most of what Coach Roberts had in place, and we get a really good fill in as a position coach.

Nice move Coach Napier.
