Beating a dead horse is a RP tradition...lol.

A lot to unpack here. I’ll be brief.

1) Zero hatred for Hudspeth. Had a personal relationship with the man. But facts are facts. The culture was toxic after about year 2.5.
2) I’m not discounting the need for debate. You’re correct that things are up in the air. But I’ll say again, agendas were defined immediately after Mike was named coach. It’s very obvious what’s happening every time someone starts with this kind of crap.
3) If you don’t think that Rickey changed a lot of things around here, I’ll have to question how closely you follow this program. Hudspeth took Bustle’s players and won with them. You want to argue that he wasn’t energetic and great at X & O’s? That’s another conversation. But he changed the course of our program, with regard to how to build and maintain.
4) Supporting Mike as our coach before he’s even completed his first off season has nothing to do with being self serving. It’s something we should all be doing. In fact, because he’s a local son, former player and coach, and life long supporter of this place, he should be given an extra layer of support, regardless of what happens this first few months, in my opinion. This guy has inherited a program going through enormous change, a fickle ass fanbase and almost unfair expectations. The last thing he needs is our hardcore fans starting ____ over nothing.

I’m going to choose to support this guy until he gives me a real reason to doubt him. Because he deserves that.

How personal of a relationship did you actually have

Questioning as to why one is getting away from a very proven successful method that is very widely used throughout all of college football is not sabotaging. Since when do we live in a world where it is not ok to question? The only place I know in our society today that you are not allowed to question is if you question the corrupt leftest. They will put these fake fact checkers out on your question. To my knowledge it is still OK to question a college football coach.

Ask Mike directly why he changes it up.

I'm just gonna go ahead and trust Mike's judgment at least in the first few seasons.

I state facts only. Some posters on this board don't like that.

No, you are a captain obvious. The statement was to point how to conform people to a group mentality by removing obstacles and distance. Not, to point out hygienic practices among army units.
Why does all threads have to show how more informed “some” people are and then they wonder why no one wants to come to this site and interact with other fans of UL (as it was supposed to be a portal to get quality information about UL). How about trying to attract young people to be glad to promote UL and actually care. Then the stands may get filled.

Speaking of horses it's probably time to put this thread out to pasture. (AKA Just Pagin)

[Cajun Bullet]

Good point and well said!

You are all over the place with this post. Classic thread derailed.

I'll tell you what I see here.

For three years, everything Matt Deggs did was wrong because it wasn't the way Tony did things. And, only when he won a championship did we understand there's more than one way to coach....more than one way to handle a team, more than one way to discipline.

Now Mike is doing something different and he's being criticized (you can use the word questioned all you want...I'm using the proper word) because he's doing something different from Billy. And, as someone said, once we (OMG) lose a game we were favored in, at least a couple will point to this as the reason why.

Just stop it. Let the man run his program.

Don’t think we comparing apples to apples. I don’t recall one person complaining how Deggs ran his fall ball or preseason camp leading up to the season.

The complaints were more on X’s and O’s for instance 1st and 2nd no body out and instead of moving runners you ground into a double play or strike out ground out and get noting. Or 1 and 3rd no one out in a game that you know will be low scoring and you take 3 hacks and get nothing. Even Deggs must have seen the era in some of his ways because last season towards the later part he started moving runners more than before and even using small ball as a weapon with his speed guys. That was a complete 180 from what he was doing before.

Now lets say Des comes out and runs a wish bone, or a flex bone or a veer offense with the current personnel he has and people start complaining about the way he is running his offense and you say there is more than one way turn an O and win. That would be more of a fair comparison to Deggs.

Or sentencing him as a failure before there are any results established. We good at that here. Remember that legend coach playing Levi?

You men the guy who won 40 fricking games as the QB? That guy? Just imagine, they could have won at least 40 games with the other guy. Right? Whoever the other guy was. Won't we get to see him this season? I hope can win us 10 or eleven games.

[Bandwagon King]

Correct. But it was a good decision in order to get Cleo Fields endorsement for Kathleen Blanco.

Why do I get the feeling that 90% of posters here STILL believe the BIG LIE?
