Thread: Poor Coaches

  1. #1

    Default Poor Coaches

    I hear a lot of criticism of Des, even (rarely!) read it here.

    So see if you can name these head coaches from their records, and where they coached:

    Coach 'Y'
    1962: 7-4
    1963: 2-8
    1964: 2-6
    1965: 4-5
    1966: 8-2 (probation)

    Coach 'P'
    1964: 6-4
    1965: 5-5
    1966: 5-5
    1967: 8-2-1

    Coach 'H'
    1969: 3-7
    1970: 5-7
    1971: 5-6
    Hired to another program
    1972: 8-3-1

    Coach 'B'
    1987: 2-9
    1988: 3-8
    1989: 6-4-1
    1990: 6-5
    1991: 5-6
    1992: 2-8-1
    1993: 9-3

    Coach 'S'
    1989: 1-10
    1990: 5-6
    1991: 7-4
    1992: 5-6
    1993: 9-2-1

    Coach 'N'
    1995: 6-5-1
    1996: 6-6
    1997: 7-5
    1998: 6-6
    1999: 10-2

    Alex, I’ll take “rare college coaches that succeeded as the hometown hero” for 200.


  7. Default Re: Poor Coaches

    Alex, I’ll take “moving the goal posts” for $1000.

    At least he was until he fired Christofel and Pry after a 6-win season.

    Did any of them inherit a top 25 program that had just won 13 games the previous year?

    The only Top 25 program Dez inherited was in NOLA. The 2021 team is an average football team. That is exactly who we are and what Dez inherited.

    I will say this, we lost way more toss up games than years past. ULM, Rice, South and Troy come to mind.

    I’m just glad we did a well vetted national search last year just like we did when hiring Hud and Napier.

    Always good to go through the process.


  12. Default Re: Poor Coaches

    Every top-25 team loses players.

    It is still a huge advantage to have been ranked the year before, in both planning and recruiting.

    It is so easy to get out of practice in this regard. Plus the vetting process gets your program noticed by so many coaches, that you might be asking to schedule in future years.

    Good time to build relationships.

    And 3 #1 recruiting classes in their conference.

    We all know what we lost in graduation, portal, and coaching staff, even video guys.

    That 13-1 team got there ass kicked by a 4 win Texas then won 13 straight games against peer competition. 8 of those 13 were one score games. So if you look at how much adjusting needed to be made this year….. before yesterday every game this year was a one score game late in the 4th quarter, usm and rice made finals 2 score games. Any realistic person can understand how close we are to last years team as a program. Some of y’all are acting like Dez and the hiring of Dez set us back 100 years.

    I think this program is building depth well and playing it. So I think we will be good next year. My only major concern is QB. They can have all the talent in the world but if they don’t have IT they don’t win consistently.
