    Had this not worked out, it would have been an easy hire to pick apart.
    8 years is recent firing ?

    Pretty much the entire national media called it's a Home Run. Even Pawwwl tweeted out congrats UL you stole Arizona States HC.

    Man it’s like some of y’all fail to look at what the hell we had to overcome this year. Essentially playing the entire year with a 3rd string OL.

    Torrence, Brown, McGowan, Burton and Williams all expected to start or be in the rotation. 2 transferred and were all Americans. McGowan, Williams and Burton were all hurt or recovering from injuries.

    Yet we still were in position to win 10 games. But without the big hawgmollies up front we couldn’t impose our will on offense. That will be fixed mext season if we stay healthy.

    9-3 regular season and back in the SBC championship game. Book it.

    It goes both ways. It’s not like we lost a bunch of games early, then gelled and reeled off a bunch of wins. We were still out of position, made boneheaded penalties and mistakes in key moments and overall lacked attention to detail…..in our 13th game still. Our offense was good for about 17 points most games. We were out coached in many games and if people fail to see that then I don’t know what to say. I know it’s dez’s first year and I know he had a lot to deal with on the inside. And still saying all that we should have won 10 games this year. The reason we didn’t was him period.

    Is it a disappointment, yes! But looking at the history of the program, this was a successful season.

    A losing record is never a successful season

    Y’all act like we are Michigan. We have sucked for the majority of 100 years. Is having a losing record acceptable, no! But making a bowl game is better than our traditional history.

    So why don’t y’all have some damn perspective. Appreciate that this season this was an extremely flawed team and should have ended with at least 8 wins. But they could have folded after ULM and they didn’t.

    If this continues through the 2023 season you’ll hear me complain. I’m not happy, but I have optimism for next year.

    In these transfer portal days, every team is going to have a drop off when a coach leaves. The continuity principle has been totally nullified.

    Houston went 12-2 last year, and were predicted being ny6 possibly playoff bc they returned everyone including their coaches and they went 7-5 in regular season and were our fumble away or penalty away from having the same record as us. Tulane was 2-10 last year.
