STOP the presses.

We got braking news.

Roberts strength has been at making in game adjustments.

Looks like Austin Armstrong was a GA here at UL during Billy's first year.

Welcome home Austin!

We need to make sure we hold on to Juluke and Sale.

Sale is going with Napier when he leaves, unless he wants this job as a HC. He pretty much has said that much after he turned down the Alabama OL Coach position. Juluke had some interest recently, but I haven't heard anything else.

-----I remember meeting with coach on an organizational meeting about some reunions----he mentioned the system and the use of analysts and how our deal would not have the money to get top notch names but very hard working younger guys that would be ready to step up when our OCs and position guys left....everybody knew the system very well and could advance to the occasion----obviously this could be tweaked to an extent------one other important aspect is the recruiting part, as this has to me a very big percentage to the position---BTW I am sure that Coach Nap has been getting a ton of calls for positions on the Cajun staff!!!

I think Sale is here as long as Napier is. Sale will move on to be an OC with Napier at his next job. Remember Sale does not call plays here and won't no matter where he goes with Napier. Napier and Sale are a team deal.

We got a steal with Roberts. He was a fairly successful Head Coach that took a coordinator job under Napier, that is rare. Usually this might happen when a HC gets fired and people realize that they are better coordinators rather than HC. That was not the case with Roberts, he stepped down as a HC to become coordinator. I think his end goal is to have a DC job at the highest level. He is well on his way.

I would say a DC job at a school who was one game short of the playoff last year resulting from a coaching change when the HC moved to the NFL is well on his way.

I don't disagree, just thinking Baylor is not an every year team with those kind of results. You are right that Baylor had a special year, I was thinking his next step is a high end SEC job (LSU, Alabama, Texas A&M, Auburn, Florida, etc) or even other schools that are consistently up there (Oklahoma, Ohio State, etc. I would think that he would want to stay in the SEC or Texas areas because of his background.

Did he have any type of buyout?

They are going to kill it when they start recruiting the South Louisiana area. No introduction needed for Roberts and Aranda.

Les Miles has a Louisiana pipeline, but South Louisina kids would much rather play in Waco as compared to Lawrence,KS.
