This isn't Billy Napier's Louisiana. Expectations should shift.

name them and show their posts

Me and Turbine and others don't give up posters handle. I have sources. I don’t reveal them, which is why I STILL have sources.

Yeah that title of the article really ____ed me off.

And who is to say we wouldn’t have taken a step back with Billy? You act as just because all teams lose players that it just doesn’t affect them? There are only about 5 teams in the country who never take steps back. Or they do take steps back but they still win.

Rice was a step back, ULM was freaking tumbling leap off the cliff against a team they had no business losing to.

Not even close to the issue.

Not even the question.

The issue and question is, when you consider the financial handcuffs placed on the program, what hire in the country that came in and made changes would UL be 4-0 with?

Napier is completely off the table and bringing him up is a red herring.

The difference is this hire wasn't a stranger to this team & all of the players & various other personnel. So the standard should be higher. So maybe UL doesn't skull drag ULM. They still gave away a conference game they were in complete control of against an inferior opponent. The only thing that could have made this worse would have been losing at home.

My standards weren't as high as most people's were. I knew when I heard the prediction threads that people were getting way to overly excited. I thought UL would win between 7-9 games & be bowl eligible again & that would give Des a decent shot to really get started on doing his own thing. But watching the complete digression of this team over these past 4 weeks has shown me that Des is in danger of completely losing the team as well as the fan base.

Losing to ULM was an absolute no no. I don't care if the great Nick Saban did it his first season. He was taking over a team that had massive discipline issues & had been through one of the worst stretches of its football history. He also lost to the best QB ULM has ever had. That QB wasn't on the field last night. There was simply no excuse for what occurred. And with the tough part of the schedule coming up, there won't be any time for excuse making now.

True but he is not Napier and doesn't have last years team to work with.

So when you say the "standard should be higher." Not higher than Napier but higher than some off the street hire.

That is correct. And he knew, or should have known that losing to ULM would bring massive criticism his way & deservedly so, especially after having a comfortable lead for most of the game. In short He blew it.

Two bad hikes and two snapped defensive plays blew it.

[CrazyCajun]

Not true. Some private schools also struggle.

Maybe read it again.

Maybe read it again.

Some private school have less money than public schools. No need to read it again.

Billy needed ULM’s kicker to miss kicks at the end of 2 games and their kicker missed it both times. Billy skull drug ULM one time and barely beat them the other 3 times.
