The special teams & defense were the only reason UL was in this game to begin with. Mike Desormeaux's offensive scheme sucks donkey balls. And his clock management skills aren't any better. But it is heresy to criticize this guy so I'll shut up & go away.

We need to get him an Apple Watch and a better sump pump. That might improve the timing and sucking for next week.

I don’t pretend to know the inner workings of the program but I do feel confident in making on field observations.
The positives:
The front 7 plays pretty good against the run.
The DBs are good in press coverage.
Smith has run harder this year and is a difference maker at RB.
Garrior is a very good punt returner
Defense is good enough to play winning football

Negatives:
OL is garbage. The recruiting and retention has been terrible. Hudson is doing his best but does not have the size or speed to play D1 football.
QBs are game managers and are not difference makers. Neither have the skill set of our previous QB which we need with an atrocious OL.
WR are mediocre to bad. Stephens should never play another down. I did see open receivers but poor blocking or QBs leaving the pocket early caused them to be missed.
Kickers suck just like the past two years
Snapper sucks
Pass rush is poor. No difference makers like we have had in previous years. A Jones is a great athlete but plays too upright and can’t get under OTs. No one else has good outside pass rush ability.
Coaching staff is not bringing the right kind of energy to the team. Personal fouls are a problem and that is something the coaching staff can impact.
Recruiting and retention was bad. I know the staff is new, but they lost good players and did not replace them with even remotely good players. You knew you were losing your center and OT. No viable replacement. You knew you were losing your QB, no viable replacement. You knew you were losing a dynamic end rusher. No viable replacement. You knew your kickers are inconsistent. Again, no replacement.

In all I see a team lacking talent and confidence. I think coaching is partially to blame, but I don’t think Napier wins consistently with this team. We have way too few difference makers on the offensive side of the ball to sustain drives.

Mike recruited one of the highest regarded QBs ever to this school last year. Red shirting him is a good move.

[Big Poppa]

It is going to be a long season gentleman. You got me? Hearing alot of rumblings that Mike is in way over his head and the fan base is dwindling. We should have listened to Jeweler and Lannister when they didn't believe this was the right hire.

If hiring a TE coach that has never coordinated an offense or defense was a recipe for winning college football more people would do it. That just doesn’t work.

Special teams suck other than punt returner. They have arguably cost us two games.
I thought I was pretty clear about all the offensive problems. Im ok with criticism of the scheme. We have no identity. I just see a bunch of players who have no business playing meaningful snaps at this level. We have 18 OL on the roster, but only 3 are playing at a serviceable level. The QB yesterday was awful. He averaged 3 yards per pass and missed open receivers to do safe check downs or scrambles.
The are not executing simple plays.
Defense is executing so it leads me to believe it is the players and not the coaches.

I was referring to last night on special teams. It's obvious they got coached up there since last week.

[MetryCajun]

Opening up is probably not the answer. We don’t have the players to play vertically. If we do want to “open it up” we should probably play Chandler since he can push the ball better. This will result in more turnovers but I don’t know what else they can do since the cannot control the LOS.

I literally saw Ohonba not physically touch one person on a run play last night. That's either pretty impressive as its hard to do or really bad...

He was a TE, RB, WR coach and CO-OC before taking this gig.

Billy napier coordinated the offense. Mike has never called a play in college football until this year.

He called the bowl game and has called plenty of spring games.
