The coaching staff and players have their backs against the wall this week. We will see if there are improvements with discipline, offensive production, defensive adjustments, etc. going forward. If these characteristics do not change it will be a long season for the fans.
Was it an ugly loss? Was it an embarrassment on multiple levels? Will CMD be our coach the rest of the season? Will the staff and team continue to attempt to get better? Did Maggard frame the hire as a transition and not a rebuild? Do fans have the right to have extreme feelings ranging from turd polishing to CMD needs to go?
Yes is the answer to all.
The only unacceptable action would be for the team to quit on the staff, and I don’t see that happening. Surf the wave gentlemen. We’ve had great waves lately, this is just a period of small waves.
Geaux Cajuns!
Billy Napier needed ULM’s kicker to miss twice to win 2 different games, one of them put us in the championship game. Not sure when this ridiculous idea of losing to a conference team is a cause to get you fired. ULM has more P5 scalps than we do and a national title. If you are forced to play somebody every year, you will lose to them. It’s an asinine point of view.
Didn’t Glasco lose to ULM last season?
As JMV likes to say about basketball supporters: I don’t recall him calling for Glasco’s head when he was sitting on his lap.
I think one thing we can all agree on is that this week is a much bigger game than we all anticipated it being at the beginning of the season and we will know pretty much what we need to know about this team moving forward after this game. I think we were playing it safe to not lose and keep that winning streak alive versus going out and attacking teams. I think we'll know more how the staff will coach this team moving forward. It's gut check time for this team and program in general.
Depending on the school, there is a crest and trough to your bar/standard as the coaching regime changes. Educate me. Doesn't the recruiting style change with a new coach? Doesn't a coaching style change? Doesn't it take a while to implement? What worked against EMU in the second half may not work on Rice..(obvious). The playbook is still being adapted. Even Billy went 7-7 his first year.
