You got me?

As miserable as the product is on the field, I don't think anyone is going to abandon the team. That doesn't mean they have to suck up to the coach & agree with every decision he makes, especially when so many of them flat out stink. If the players didn't like Mike, they would have already started to give up on the season. But that doesn't mean he is necessarily doing what is best for the team.

I was disappointed between the 3rd & 4th Qtrs, when I only saw a few assistant coaches holding up the 4th quarter signal. The whole team used to do it in unison. Maybe that's another taboo tradition that was part of the old culture that is now to old school for use now. So I was shocked to the offense finally come alive the other night with about 7 minutes to go in the game. Personally, I credit Woolridge for it. I think he has more fire in his belly to compete the way the best QBs in this league have always competed. Whatever it was, someone got this offense kick started after getting kicked in the gut last week. And that recipe needs repeating. I also noticed the O. line looked much better & more together after Landon Burton came in the game. That is the best they have run blocked consistently all season.

I don't like Mike's scheme, especially without a true dual threat QB. And this team doesn't have that. I especially don't like that he is allergic to attacking the middle of the field which is exactly what USA did to us at the end of the game to get in field goal range & we refused to do to them at the end of the first half which cost us a field goal. And I'm not sure, but has anyone ever discussed with Mike the possibility of running a crossing route once in a while. USA virtually left the middle of the field unprotected at times because they never felt threatened between the hash marks. If I can see this, a top notch snappy young coach should definitely see it & have plays designed & practiced up to take advantage of these situations.

We threw a pick right before the half going over the middle. Looked like it might have been a big play for a second. Coach said in his press conference yesterday that Ben was hit as he threw the ball. The pressure on the QB caused the interception. I don’t know if Ben held the ball too long or if The protection was the issue. Agree that we did not attack the middle after that play. As far as scheme goes, our QB’s have run more the last 2 weeks than in the previous 3. That may have helped the 4th quarter drives. Ben looks to be a better runner than Chandler from what I have seen to date. Will be interesting to see if they can utilize more options in remaining games.

They fumbled it right back so it is forgotten, but did he mention the first pass of the game? What caused it?

Trahan actually got an interception right after the interception we threw over the middle. We then missed a FG right before the half. Our first pass of the game was intercepted and then fumbled back to us. Coach did not talk about that early pick in his press conference from what I can recall. I don't know if Chandler's injury affected his throw on that play.

Andre Nunez. A QB that nobody wanted, FBS or FCS. Led this school to its first CCG. Might be my favorite Cajun player, ever.

Absolute baller.

Yep, many forget that season and think it was Levi the entire time with Napier, but that’s where all of our recent success started. Props to Nunez for getting us to that Championship game at App State.

Dez has to go..

Normally when you switch coaches and the team underperformed, you say "well you have to let him get HIS players in here"

There is no world where Dez can out-recruit Napier.. especially after completely ____ting the bed on this season

If the university is serious about football, it's time to admit they screwed up and go find an actual head coach

Care to take a guess how many of those players were recruited by Napier himself?

Now, care to take a guess how many of those players were recruited by Des and Tim?

I look forward to your response.

You're right ..

Ole boy Dez is gonna walk into mama's kitchen and say "we have no NIL money, we won't get televised again for half a decade, and we just lost to a glorified high school"

No worries.. he's got it

As suspected, you didn't answer the question.

I'm sure Dez and other assistants played a huge part in filling out our current roster.. but what difference does that make now? The team that they recruited those players to play on no longer exists.

It's no different than the Saints cheaping out on Dennis Allen. That team is playing like a shell of itself without Sean Payton and the majority of it stems from penalties, sloppy mistakes, etc -- which most people attribute to coaching and culture more than just bad luck

They discontinued the football program here? I didn't see that on twitter. Seems like big news.

Dez recruited about 60% of the roster through out Napiers career here. And when Billy walked into mommas living room 9 times out of 10 Des was on his side. I don't think he's all of a sudden forgot how to do it. When it comes to NIL he will be in the same boat as 99% of his peer G5 schools. He will probably lose the NIL battles to the lsuanbr, alabama, tx a&m, and floridas of the world.
