Moment Of Truth For CMD

[chauncey]

Tim, Munoz, and Viator to assist with the offense. Is he really going to micromanage this with all of their combined experience?

You realize Rocky was a fictitious character?

Thankyou I know

The QB position did not lose the game against Mondoe. That position was good enough to win Saturday night. Now, neither played well against Rice. Idk if one QB or the other would of actually won that game.

Unless this team does a 180°
We are gonna get skull drug.

That’s one thing I’m watching closely on Saturday. It’s been a long time since Cajun fans have seen our team taken to the woodshed by a conference opponent. 11 points was Billy’s greatest conference loss. Playing how we’ve played so far it’s tough to see us playing South much closer than LA Tech did.

Wasn't Nelson doing both until he brought in Cook in 93?

So are you are saying there is a chance... to get Cook as OC?

It would be nice if the CAJUNS look more competitive than the 'nechs did last week!!

Anyone with a pulse that I have talked to, read, or listened to would say you don’t pull a QB after he just led your team to 2 consecutive scoring drives on the opening 2 possessions. No one in America thinks that was a good idea and hopefully by now coach Des realizes the mistake he made. I don’t care what the game plan was going in at that point you scrap it and say hey Ben we just scored twice we gonna stick with Chandler. It’s what is best for the team.

Going forward the moment of truth will be told in how he handles this situation. Is CMD about what is best for his team in how he handles the QBs? Or is CMD all about not hurting Ben’s feelings on how he handles the QBs? There is no way in hell that he can be honest with himself today and say that pulling chandler on the 3rd series of Saturday’s football game was the best thing for his football team. You can’t have it both ways either you do what’s best for the team or you worry about hurting feelings. Curious to see which way he goes?

Let me say this, and it's something we've all heard. If you have 2 QB's, then you really don't have 1. The staff needs to find answers quick, but the other side of this is somewhere along the line a player has to step up, accept coaching and take ownership of their mental and physical effort. Some may disagree with me, but it's not being undisciplined when you drop TD passes, drop passes on critical 3rd downs, miss signals on snaps, don't call the right protections on run and pass downs and muff punts. These are mental mistakes and some are by upperclassmen. That's not coaching, it's called mowing your own damn grass and holding yourself accountable. Levy's departure has left a huge leadership vacuum in the locker room and on the sidelines, and neither QB can step in to that row right now because they haven't earned it.

We can talk about the decision to name Coach Desormeaux as head coach to the cows come home. Either way, it was probably going to be rebuild even with a new staff because Billy Napier gutted this program's football operations from top to bottom. The loss of quality talent because of NIL and Graduation cannot be easily replaced without game experience.

This staff needs to grow and make adjustments, that is part of the job. But I'm not jumping off the bandwagon after 2 losses. I'm going to give them time to fix what needs to be fixed, including support staff and players. A quick fix is not in the cards, and I'm not happy with their progress nor will I accept mediocre results.

I'm not here to argue with anyone's opinion or try to their change minds. If you have decided you are done, that's your prerogative. I will be there Saturday and the rest of the season. That doesn't mean some if you haven't made valid points, it's just way too early for me to abandon ship.

Coach Dez will be the HC here when next season begins regardless of how well or poor the rest of the season turns out. Pointless to even discuss the possibility of anything else occurring. Of course I understand everyone has a voice and an opinion. Reaction to losses are just venting and that helps some people deal with the disappointment. However that venting will have no impact on the situation. Coach Dez said in his interview this morning they work to have players "ignore the noise". That goes for when things are going well as when they go poorly. He asked fans in the interview to support the kids Saturday regardless of what they think of coaches or the play calling.

Does anyone know how many assistants & analysts weren't replaced after Billy left? I'm having a hard time seeing where Billy gutted the program top to bottom. Three players isn't exactly gutting your program. We lost more guys to other programs than we lost to Florida.

So you believe we still have them if they did not go to Florida?
