Errol Rogers now in the portal

If Baghdad Bob says it’s going to be ok, it’s going to be ok . . .

I find it weird he’s leaving with all of the opportunity available from the thinning of the WR room.

I was thinking the same. He would have had plenty of opportunities next season for an increased share of playing time and targets

Oh well best of luck to him

If Harvey Broussard is as good as people say and he’s physically ready to play as a true freshman, he could make a huge impact next season

[MetryCajun]

In the history of UL football almost every difference maker played significantly as a Freshman. If Broussard is as advertised he should be a day one starter.
As I have said for many years…good players don’t sit the bench at UL. They play early and often.

He had 59 catches in 3 seasons. Not great but decent.

So that comes to 1.43 catches per game over three years. Don't think anyone would consider that decent.

[no1cajunfan]

In my opinion after three years, you should have a pretty good idea if it was a good hire or not. Especially if you were already on the staff for 5 years or so.

[JMV JustMyView]

I wasn't in favor of his hiring, but at this point, you have to give home 4 years to put something together. I don't have any confidence that this administration would make a better hire, anyway.

Why 4 years? He was on staff for the 6 previous years before being named head coach. He knows the program in and out.

[RaginScotsman]

Maggard has made good hires. Based on that track record and the fact that the next football coach was Maggard's biggest hiring decision to date, Mike was well vetted and should work out, right? I hope he does.

Players and maybe coaches will come and go, but I like to think that the situation cannot be any worse than this time last year. Year to year changeover is the new normal. Let's see if M.D. can keep the ship heading in the right direction with the knowledge that crew will be jumping on and off.

[Big Buds]

Now do defense. We will be lucky to win 4 games next year.

Are you serious? I just don’t see it. I feel confident with a normal offseason this team turns the corner and makes a push to win the West.

I thought some of the new faces on defense played very well against Houston.

[CajunVic]

For some, CMD tenure at Louisiana wasn’t enough to get him hired as HC and for the same it should count on his tenure to fire him as head coach . . . Go figure . . .

I don't like it, but dealing with the transfer Portal is the new normal within the NCAA. Every school is having to deal with the same things UL is dealing with. We will win some and lose some when it comes to the Portal.

Hopefully the coaches are dealing with and understanding the portal beter than us fans are.

……with these guys leaving, I am curious about their past performances…..did they block well? Did they have many drops? Did they screw up assignments? Most improved position on team was LL2 at wr…..I know “The penalty”

Again, I don't know, but I assume that football (like other sports) conducts post season exit interviews with all the players at the end of the season. I also have to assume that some of those entering the portal are doing so based on conversations with the coaches during thos interviews. Maybe some were encouragd to enter the portal or at least have the support of the coaching staff to do so. I'm sure that the coaches already know (based on past performance and practice time) that not all 100+ members of the team will be significant contributers next year or into the future.
