G5 Final: Louisiana 17, South Alabama 20

[Turbine]

There was no secret last year that Levi would play and you saw what you saw here . . .

What does that have to to with leaving "no time to coach?"

Last year by an overwhelming margin Ragin Pagin self-corrected the Levi naysayers.

[LouisianaB]

But also, I don’t think it cost us the game. We tied the game. Anything could have happened in OT.

[Turbine]

He took pride in being perfect in his timeout calls.

Your definition of pride is different than mine.

How could he be proud of costing the team a conference championship and a bowl game appearance?

You are good at reaching outside the lines then calling fowl.

[BBcajun]

There is reason they hold post-game press conferences.

Zero to do with arm chair quarterbacks, RPCA or second guessing.

When you are secretive you open yourself to speculation. Human nature.

Not sure it would be in our best interest to get on a press conference and tell the world that you starting QB2 may have a dislocated finger and QB1 could not play because of a prior injury.

Time out, time out, time out (from a guy that knows time out) you are extrapolating far too much distance while under a time out.

Might confuse the opponent into not knowing who to game plan for.

Finger was good enough to throw TWICE from the one yard line

Time was running out.

Last FG try of the game for the win. He missed.

Oh wait an assistant who had no business calling timeouts, called a time out.

ASU gets another try. Makes it. Wins conference title. Every game counts.

Agree

[CajunRage]

Yep...had no choice

What? You can still regroup after waiting 20 seconds and calling the timeout. Shows that Des panicked and is not ready for the big stage. Between clock management in both halves and the soft coverage prior to the game winning kick, I’m out. Des is in over his head and there’s a reason Napier left certain coaches behind.

Des made a mistake. I think a lot of young coaches have similar issues. I have no doubt he will learn from it.

I can’t expect a perfect coach. If I do, I’ll be let down. Im still behind him.

Likely because he’s never left the confines of Cajun field. P5 coordinators have been in this situation. I don’t completely blame Des. His resume is his resume. Lazy hire by Maggard.

[CajunRage]

For the first time in history, we have a coach leave for a better job and not to go bag groceries. What do we do? Hire someone that no one in the country is interested in. No better way to double down on Napier’s success I guess….
