Was Deggs the right hire....

Yes....can't believe this post was started. Damn!

Half of you guys said we needed to hire Deggs to fix everything 3 years ago now we can’t even give him a full season to turn things around. Not sure if its funny or sad the way some have zero patience. If we could only go back and read some of the early Napier threads on the old RP.

No one wants to build anything these days. Expect zero growing pains and automatic success, but that’s the society we now live in.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."

I remember those of which you speak. The diversity of opinion ran the gamut then too.

Every old RP thread exists here.

They can probably be found somewhere on these three forums:
Coaching Matters
Football
Just Ragin

Deggs’ first season at SHSU consisted of a 31-28 record. Two years later, he was playing Florida State in a Super Regional.

He will get it done here. It just takes a little time.

I think a year of no competition is affecting what we are seeing. You can practice all you want but it's just not the same. Let's see what happens next year. I'm just happy to be able to go to a game

A successful Gulf of Mexico energy company built there entire company philosophy on that speech and their company name as well. They have had tough times as most in that first have recently but have survived and are coming back.

But every other team has had the same issue to deal with.
