Cut the Negative Crap Out

[JamesTheJeweler]

IMO those important concerns were all voiced before the hire. Continuing to ask, or more accurately demand more information than anyone else ever gets is ______ing and moaning pure and simple.

Those guys can say I told you so on the first mistake, or loss. That’s as certain as the sun rising in the East.

Maybe you can create a board with 100% sunshine pumping 24/7. Peoples concerns are legitimate. As many times as they need to say it. Especially when you have people reacting with blind allegiance. What reallyneeds to stop is the heavy menstruating when people have concerns or criticisms. Whats the point of a fan board if we cant have differing viewpoints. Without making them personal of course.

Never said anything was wrong. But if someone has a gripe, it’s always been let it rip potato chip. Nobody should be a hypocrite.

I’m content with CMD because that’s who Maggard picked. If we go back to a jet sweep offense of the Bustle days, then I’m concerned.

With the talent we have, don’t see that happening.

But I do like the new MAT better. Podcast has changed him.

Alright guys, it’s time to cut all the doubting of this hire out. It’s a done deal, and if I’m being honest I love the hire of Desormeaux and I’m a pretty harsh critic of all of our coaches. I expect excellence and every program competing for championships.

Mike Desormeaux will be a fantastic HC here. He is relentless as a competitor, tremendous football IQ and as detail oriented as you can be.

If this program continues to fund the assistant salary pool and support staff like we have, under Napier, then we will continue to have extreme success.

I wasn’t a Desormeaux cheerleader. I preferred a P5 DC to come in as the HC and give the entire offense to Desormeaux/Lege because I have extreme confidence in those guys to produce results.

The optics are the optics, but that doesn’t mean Desormeaux wasn’t the RIGHT MAN!!!

Let’s see who comes in on staff and go from their.

….Interesting that you mention the Des/Leger offense….when he was the guest at the QB club mentioned the 2 working together and Des more of a detailed guy…l.he then went on to explain the different inside and outside zone reads with ROPs…..also the shifts and motions and past breakdowns of tape to produce a desired def formation to attack…..we gonna be OK!

BWK, you gotta be kidding.. You don't think having the players be excited is important? Is it everything? Certainly not. Is it something? It certainly is.

I sure wouldn't want to see them storm out of the room in anger. But a guy who recruited most of those guys should be loved. Here's the thing. You don't think the Notre Dame players weren't all excited about their DC getting hired? Of course players are gonna naturally want one of their own & be more excited about that. I'm not mad about it. But the main thing people want to know is that Mike was heads & shoulders above every other candidate. Because if UL was ever in a position to cherry pick the best candidate possible, it was now.

My concerns (NOT negative )
MD: who can he bring in as assts compared to who
Jay Johnson or Pete Golden might have been able to bring in as assts.
MD might be the best coach out there but
Would the SAME talented potential OC/DCs (and other assts) AND RECRUITS who might have been convinced to come to UL by a Golden/Johnson HC BE THE SAME CALIBER as those willing to come to UL when asked by an untested, lesser known, less experienced CMD.
Those are legitimate questions I have (and since no one really KNOWS the answer to these hypotheticals) no one can answer.

No, what I'm saying is are you going to pay the next DC what Toney was making regardless of whether he has experience and track record for success? Are you going to pay Des the same money that you were paying Napier in the sense of continuing our success? Of course not. I'm saying it depends on who is hired and what their experience is.

I think the answer to that question is you give Coach Desormeaux the funds to go out and hire a DC that he wants and that answers your question. Toney was not a DC until Roberts left, so anyone with a similar resume or better should be given a similar contract.

Yes, read that a thousand times about MBB. And that poor horse has been beaten into dust. Just sayin’…tolerance cuts both ways.

We are beyond the point of "concern" for MBB.

All of Bobs players love him.

Bobby is like a bad credit risk. I’d rather get a guy without any history than to a guy whose been a poor payer.

Clearly not The same situation with Bob and Mike.

Yes. I'd be much more willing to pull the trigger on a younger, up and coming but unproven coach than in football where the foundation is already there. At this point, I'd be behind just about anybody for the MBB job outside of what we have.

[ZoomZoom]

We have a commissioner from a basketball conference. Dude has to know the college MBB network. When the time comes, clean house, national search, start fresh.

Apples and oranges. Several years into a tenure and 48 hours into a tenure. No comparison.
