Segrest to Jax Jaguars

[ManAboutTown]

Billy was a three-year deal. His hires knew a ride to a better place was worth following him to UL. Then COVID. Billy hedged. And the word around the complex was “whatever Billy wants, Billy gets” AND he got that. We got an extra year from him, but Rob Sale wasn’t buying that. Meantime, Billy gave his bosses the impression this could last longer if the money was right. Scared money. They worked on that and Billy’s agent wasn’t buying. He was ready to get paid. Billy left unfinished business, broke commitments, exited badly. And so we deal with the fallout. No one should be under any illusions here. When the flight left Signature Air, Dr. Maggard made damn sure this wasn’t going to happen to us again. Jay Walker said Billy never “big timed” him. Cool. But it sure looks like he big-timed the rest of us. We will be just fine. But Billy, I don’t know about that guy. I really don’t. Will he get paid? Yeah, sure. But he sure left a bad taste in my mouth.

95% of this.

Yep go back to the coaching search page should be there!

You’re the only one passing misinformation. It’s really on you to provide evidence your comments are more than a bunch of random things that you interpret as this latest garbage. Maybe you took a few head hits too many in your previous football life.

We clearly can’t compete salary with NFL. Good for him.

Instead of this happens everywhere I want to know how we lost to the Longhorns. I guess we might not have anyone if we’d won that game including CMD, or Dr Maggard.

Careful! I mentioned something similar a month or so back. Got some moronic responses. I consider the sources.

LOL! I'm not your secretary if you think I'm wrong you prove it .

LOL! I'm not your secretary if you think I'm wrong you prove it .

I have no idea who told you that was why we hired Dez, but:

1. 100% guarantee if we hired outside we would have more new coaches now than we do. I don't know if that's better or worse, but it's a fact.

2. Have we lost more than the average amount of players to the portal? I really have no idea, but I sure see a lot of guys in the portal for a lot of schools, I'm not sure which coach we could have hired to make us some kind of outlier. Do you have some inside information that suggests that any of the guys who left for P5 spots would have stayed had we just hired somebody else?

I don't get your line of commentary at all. Maggard didn't hire Dez because he was going to magically keep coaches from leaving for "better" positions, or be able to stop every single player from leaving for more money at a P5 school. He hired him because he thought he was the best person to keep the culture going (and winning)....Maggard's future is directly tied to how well this hire goes, I'm assuming he made his choice based on that fact.

Good post.

So what? I’m not proving a non existent negative. An unprovable thing. So you’re just saying it’s true, just click your vermilion slippers and repeat 3 times there many posts saying CMD was hired to because he keeping the coaching staff and players here.

Secretary or not you have zero credibility on this and many other things.

There was no post about if an outside coach was hire 20 to 30 players would have left . I specifically remember that one being a more recent post.

Sale had an offer to coach OL at Bama for about 800k more than he was making here

Juluke and Corey Raymond are always getting offers from P5 teams

Ok. Apparently you heard of offers no one else has. I didn’t realize Corey was ever on the staff here?

[Clutch0364]

I wonder if he is one of the candidates Des is looking at? Probably not, but a good choice!

From what I hear. the hire has been made. Should be announced soon.

There are only a few coaches that have unrestricted access to NOLA public schools .. Those coaches are always in high demand

That’s a vague answer and doesn’t tell anyone that Juluke turned down offers while here. Who offered? I don’t recall anyone while here. Now don’t make up a story like Sale to Al.

And why are we bringing Corey Raymond into this? He was already at LSU his alma mater and his only college stop until now. The only reason he is not still at LSU is because the new coach let him go. Totally different situation.
