Desormeaux: Integrity Defined

[CameronCajun]

So do we pull for LSU to beat Florida now? Lol

Hahaha it is funny you say that.....I was thinking the same exact thing yesterday. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend"

[zephyr]

Fully understand your point.

We’ll be fine WHEN Des lives up to his billing. Not if or maybe, WHEN. And WHEN that happens, Des will be in Napier’s shoes today. A P5 coach. He’ll be able to illustrate how he feels it should be done.

We’ll be ok. Des will fix this, and he’s not the type to come in making excuses. I personally feel his tweet was directed at the players/culture and not Napier.

Glad you're so sure.

Started to post yesterday, but figured it would be an unpopular opinion, but here goes...

Players come, players go. EVERY team deals with it. Good teams overcome, other teams cry about it. If we aren't capable of overcoming losing a few players and coaches, we are not as good a team as we thought we were.

I stand with the players and coaches who want to be here. The depth chart will be adjusted and some players will now be starters, I congratulate them. Now is their time to show why they were awarded a scholarship. Let's not overshadow their moment to rise up because the guy in front of them chose to leave. They may turn out to be just as good as the guy they are replacing.

In this age of $5,000,000+ annual salaried coaches, it's WIN NOW OR YOU ARE GONE. No, I don't like what is happening here, but Napier has to do everything in his power to win... just like he did when he was here. Had we hired a coach from outside our program and he brought players with him to improve our team, we would be happy about it. I think the NIL + transfer portal combination is what we are really upset about.

I understand Coach Des is upset, and rightfully so. I wouldn't have fired off that passive-aggressive tweet because I'm more of a tell you to your face type of guy, but maybe it was a good technique to rally the players and fans.

I do not like the situation, but have no doubt we will be fine.

I hope Montrell enjoys playing on kickoff coverage team.

Look on the bright side, at least Napier isn’t suing us for anything.

We FINALLY have a coach that leaves for a better job, something we ALL wanted. And we LEARNED it’s a business, not a Hallmark love fest.

We’re not the first program that’s had a coach leave and he poached the pantry on the way out.

Napier left a clean program. Players follow coaches. We’re still a good program. Never heard the slightest thing regarding Napier and indiscretions off the field.

I hope it all happens again, including the poaching. It will mean UL has a great thing going.

It’s the first time our program had this situation. Learn from it and strive to do it again. Get the anger out the way and embrace the future. We wanted big time football, welcome to how it works. Beats the heck out of 6-6.

At this point I'm hoping UF has a scandal pop up from Mullens era and they get put on probation or worse

Boy, you guys jump the gun even faster than we do. Billy Napier has shown nothing but straight up integrity the way he handled the change. Was he shady helping UL when he started as your coach? Why would he be as Florida's coach?

You don’t have a freaking clue what he’s shown..

Great post, pretty much says it all.
