    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.

    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.

  5. UL Football Re: Poor Coaches

    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.

    Well...he left us a QB or two whom many thought should have been starting over LL. So we should be set in that position, right?

    It's apples & oranges. None of those programs lost key players in 3 different ways: graduation, the portal, and the previous coach using the portal to take away national caliber players. And yet, we still may make it to a bowl.

    In addition, I will remind everybody that many people here thought Blakeney was a football genius, one whom our 'incompetent' administration failed to hire when we had the chance. His advantage was just better talent from a recruiting edge. When the recruiting advantage was removed, he collapsed like Oogey Boogey.

    You just can't judge a coach from his first few years. A lot of the greatest coaches in college football just didn't start off well.

    Clearly neither QB does anything exceptional and neither should be starting. But we got what we got so yes I’m supporting them to improve.

    I know you come from a place where kissing up to academia in Martin Hall is what you have to do, or choose to do, but our administration was 1000% incompetent in the hiring of Jerry Baldwin as our head football coach. No quotation marks are needed.

    apples to oranges…kind of like your example. Got it.

    UL hired a guy who would literally be hired by no one else. If his degree said Arkansas instead of Louisiana, he would not have been hired here.

    Sometimes hiring a local has more benefits than an outsider. You’re probably right CMD would not have been hired by other FBS schools at this point in his career.

    People with an agenda never seem to get it right. I don’t believe it was Doc who said that.

    Mike is in year 7 of the program, under 2 different coaches. He has been exposed to the good, bad and ugly. He has/had a head start over any new guy. He can be judged.

    Agree 100% on the talent. Mike is a “freshman” as a head coach lets hope he learns from this year and makes improvements.
