Segrest to Jax Jaguars

Name another school that had a staff the size of Napier's, ranked the last 2 seasons, and lost this coach to a SEC school, which happened to be a hot mess due to prior staff. Oh, and it's in the G5.

Ok, 100 dollars to thr person that can show me where I said, "why is this happening?" For the umpteenth time, I frickin know why. Im simply saying,
1. This fkn sucks
2. When does this this s__t end?

[JamesTheJeweler]

And if youre a sunshine pumper, and are saying im negative and pessimistic, you have no one to blame but yourselves! YOU ARE THE ONES TO BLAME! Not a single one of you have EVER reached out and said, hey James, meet me at (insert local bar) and let me buy you a beer or two and we'll get through this together. Not ONE of you!!! You know why? Because yall are selfish! SELFISH I SAY!!!! Now....go think about what youve done and when and where youre gonna buy me that beer. Sorry i had to be a little stern, but its just tough love fellas. You'll appreciate it when your older. Youre welcome!

I have drank with James plenty of times, however we never talked about football.

Little different situations. Hud and Napier were new coaches coming in from outside the program. Des wwas an inside hire coming off a succesful 13-1 season. Hud and Napier werent inheriting a team coming off succesful seasons. They were mostly looking to clean house and bring in their own staff to creatr their own cultures. Des was looking to keep everything as is to CONTINUE the culture. Correct me if Im wrong, but Hud and Napier were letting staff go to replace them with their guys....Des was looking to keep them.

Yes very different situations. Not one person who left made a backwards or lateral move. They all bettered their situation with opportunities UL couldn’t match. Not a Des issue at all. Happens every where. Nothing anyone can do to stop them. It’s a part of the business and no need to panic.

LOL! What does that matter? It doesnt change OUR situation. This is whats happening to US.

Could you imagine if we hired someone from the outside.. We would have lost 60 coaches and players .

Did Maggard say he hired Dez so he wouldn't lose coaches or players to other jobs or to the portal? He said he hired him to maintain the culture. The point of a culture is that you can replace people who don't want to be here with those that do, as long as you hire and recruit to the culture you are building.

Sunshine pumpers?

I’m going to go about it this way. The situation is similar to a guest priest I had at a Manressa retreat. He told us about a debate he had with an atheist. After much debate he told the atheist that the priest would never know he was wrong, and conversely the atheist would never know he was right.

We’re not in a similar situation with CMD except we know his detractors can never know if they would be right regardless of CMD success or failure. It’s time to support, and support isn’t sunshine pumping until and if everyone his projected failure occurs. Even (if) it occurs nobody knows if getting coaches X Y Z would have had a better outcome, and the pumpers would still have to say give him more time.

It matters in the sense of "what else did you expect?"

The events currently surrounding Louisiana football were 100% predictable.

They also shouldn't cause concern.

I know that. I never blamed Des.

I don't think those are the quotes people are responding to.

I know I wasn't.

I responded the "name another school" implication that there are other schools in the same situation that are faring much better.
