Ron Roberts is gone...

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.

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.

The austin Armstrong name sounds really familiar. Was he a grad assistant here before?

I’m hearing this is happening via Twitter

I would have thought Napier was the kind of guy to promote him in person.

Everything is being done via twitter these days.
