How many double digit leads did Billy relinquish in those games? You lose a game because you are outplayed by a better opponent, that is on the players. You lose a game because you allowed a team to come back in the fourth quarter from a double digit deficit, that is the coaching.
I’m not justifying blowing a double digit lead but if any if you are “true fans” as you all like to claim and actually follow this program, you would know how these games with ULM almost always play out, and it’s hardly ever with one team convincingly beating the other. There has been like 4 lopsided wins in 20 years. If we would have hired anyone else, and they were 2-2…everyone would be “gotta give the guy time to do it his way” We hired one of our own and he is getting treated worse than any coach I can remember here after 5 games. It’s pathetic.
You act like he wanted to blow it . . . You act like he was the snapper on the two bad snaps . . . You act like he dropped the passes . . . and on and on . . . It took all of these unfortunate occurrences for us to lose that game last night.
It’s time to strap it on and support our coaches and players. It’s all we have left at this time
GEAUX Cajuns . . .
I disagree, not in this case. And there is a good reason for not giving Mike as much rope. The fact is anyone who would have taken over this program in the condition it was in even after Billy robbed the cupboard, the kitchen was still full of groceries. So what if there aren't any Slim Jims & Funyuns. There's a butt load of pancake mix, cornbread mix, eggs, milk, butter, cooking oil, Tony's you name it. So Billy took a couple of chips & some Reese's peanut butter cups. The only reason we are starving is because the next cook only knows how to make balogna sandwiches?
I hear where you're coming from about the closeness of the game. However, that only means that Mike's guys were in better shape than they have been in aa long time & they screwed the pooch. And everything that happened screamed out with blood curdling yells, I have no confidence. I have no confidence. THAT my friend is the difference right now between Billy & Mike. And it's the same freaking issue in New Orleans as well.
And I'll tell you this also Ghost of Authement. The whole 2 QB thing. There's a reason why the whole cliche thing of if you have two QBs you have no QBs is a cliche. Because you aren't showing CONFIDENCE in either player. And without CONFIDENCE there is no ability to lead. Someone is gonna get their feelings hurt. But whether it's fair, or not, right, or not, Mike is gonna have to make a damn decision about WHO is gonna lead his team, or he isn't gonna have a team to lead in a couple of weeks. Got it?
You are comparing year 4 Billy to year 1 mike. Year 1 Billy went 7-7 and that wasn’t all because of the talent level. Billy learned some things the hard way his first year too. Billy is still learning. Not sure why Mike is expected to have it all figured out in the 5th game of his career. Glad you bring up the saints, it’s strange how people weren’t saying the things about Dennis Allen that they said about Mike. That Rita benson was too cheap to hire anyone else. That an NFL team would hire from within Is small time. They hired a guy with previous experience too, a horrible experience.
