Smith got an extra year like many because of Covid, so he will be a 4 Year Junior. If he has a very good season, he's probably gone and he will be draft eligible. I'm not sure if he graduates in the fall, or next spring. I don't see him returning for a 5th season either way.
And Des was hired because he is a disciple of Napier who is a disciple of Saban and Sweeny who didn't have to leave here to get that same kind of experience Napier got. He supposedly took notes every day and wrote down and questioned everything Billy did. At least that's how I remember the story going. Which is why I am a little surprised to hear he is much more easy going with the players than his predecessor was.

"UL brought him in as a running back but they're also intrigued by what they see from him on defense," Many coach Jess Curtis said. "With his size and athleticism, we wanted to get a look at Terrence on defense this past season.
Keep in mind the rules just changed. Now that players can come and go as they please in the portal it will be a lot harder to be a tough coach. I’d imagine at a decent g5 program it’s the worst case because the schools with money will be looking to poach your studs every year. If you don’t keep them happy they will leave. There will be transferring regardless but I’d imagine Dez knows how to deal with the players.
There was talk about him possibly moving to LB. I don't have the time nor interest in going back through archives here or the old Cajunredzone to find transcripts of things said but I remember the possibility of trying him at LB since we had less depth there than at RB.
Didn’t Hud become lax and things started slipping?
