Poor Coaches

[Clutch0364]

Billy inherited a team with the talent to become a top 25 program. Look at the 2017 roster - Elijah Mitchell, Trey Ragas, Raymond Calais, JaMarcus Bradley, Robert Hunt, Kevin Dotson, and Levi Lewis to name a few with a number of them still playing on the team that won 13 games. Plus no portal and NIL to compete with during Billy's tenure. Here is the 2017 roster - https://ragincajuns.com/sports/football/roster/2017 if you are interested

And Des inherited 3 straight recruiting classes ranked #1 in conference.

The talent is not a problem.

Regression from back to back top 25 years is ok…fighting to become bowl eligible is not.

Doc said as he was doing interviews and going through resumes Mike’s name kept coming up and he always seemed to end up back at Mike. So in his press conference to introduce Mike it sounded like he went through the process.

He also said Marlin wins 75% of his games, so maybe we shouldn’t listen to closely to what he says.

Lack of experienced talent is a problem. We also lost some players from those #1 ranked classes to the portal and pros.

What in your opinion is the problem if it isn't talent?

This.

Lack of experienced talent is a problem. We also lost some payers from those #1 ranked classes to the portal and pros.

Everyone kept saying we had depth and experience due to multiple players subbing in and out.

Basically what every other team who is successful deals with. Fighting to be bowl eligible with what we have on this roster is awful. You can’t say anything that will polish that turd.

The talent experienced or not is still better than Rice, ULM, and USA. Hell it’s better than any team in the Sunbelt West.

Wrong person was hired.

Very few of the players who played this just, did not have playing time, the previous few years.

Not to the level we would have had if Johnson, Torrence, and Garner would still be on the team. With those players still on the team, we would probably have met Clutch's expectations. Coaching experience is also a problem this year but not as big a problem as or talent level this year.
My opinion is that we are in a big rebuilding year from both a talent and coaching standpoint.

The truth is obviously not enough experienced quality on the offensive line. That’s not only a CDM miss, it’s also CBN miss. CBN left us whatever you see at quarterback, and O line.

It’s plain stupid to suggest it’s on CMD only. Any coach we might have hired would have similar issues, and perhaps more because he’d have to start recruiting over and he’d be missing all the same people CBN took to ul@Gainesville.

Way too early to come to that conclusion. You may be right but only time will tell.
