When the coaching staff is high on a recruit

Then just load up on cheese and pray good things happen . . .

Tell that to the ticket drive.

Des got some good recruits committed here lately. Hopefully we can hold onto them.

Disappointing to see that Vic is still pushing the narrative of “Des is all we can afford”. The only purpose of this mindset is to undermine anyone’s confidence in Des, all while maintaining deniability (like when he responds with “I never say anything bad about players or coaches”).

This type of thread is actually more hurtful to the program than any of the posts/posters he calls out for being negative.

Just part of his agenda that he thinks is subtle. It’s not.

What a tangled web you weave . . .

1. I did not start this thread. It was split from some other thread that ended up with this discussion.

2. What a troll you have become. Please deploy the troll doll now. I have and still stand by the proposition that CMD is and was the best man for the job. I’m sure there were plenty other coaches we could afford, but I continue to believe he was and is the best choice out of what we could afford. The balance is YOUR narrative made up on your time is an apparent attempt to place your agenda on others. Eat it and own it brother . . .

3. You have reached a new low here with your ___. You really need to get help if this is all you can come up with . . . not sure what you smoking, but it most certainly is the best of it . . .

Good night Irene . . .

I guess we’ll have to let everyone else decide by reading your body of work….

. . . are you really that stoned or is your ___ having this profound an effect upon you . . .

PS: have you been hanging with the other guy again . . .

No, I just said we’ll let your posts speak for themselves. Seems like a fair arrangement to me.

All I am asking is that those who continue to sing identify who we should have hired, how much he/she would have cost and where were we going to get the money to pay the difference between that person and CMD plus the almost $6mm deficit. This is not hard. It is not a trick. It is straight forward and all I get is crickets . . .

Where ya gonna get the money to pay the deficit with Mike? This dude is not only a mediocre at best coach. He's a freaking zero when it comes to fan appeal. I know, I know, winning is supposed to trump everything. This is true, but when you take a 13 win team one year to a 500 ball club the next with a ton of returning players, you better have some Ben Franklin, Davey Crokett, Yogi Berra home spun wisdom to rally the community with.

. . . thanks for not sugarcoating it . . . of course your reply had zero to do with the quote to which you replied . . . there must be some really good stuff circulating out there tonight . . .

Well you hijacked the Steven Blanco Committment thread in a way that diminished fan support of coaching decisions.

Hijacked or tangent posts that take over a topic have the potential to be split off. So yes, you did start this topic.

[CajunVic]

That is most definitely false. But like statistics, the one in charge here can make a picture that is neither intended or accurate. I wonder who was in charge . . .

Some people just don’t know what they are looking at when it comes to Des. Hiring him was a good hire, but not splashy at all. Had the OL not had the injuries in fall camp we win 8 games. His coaching cost is 2 games last year. He will be better this season and the floor for this program is 8 wins. Anything lower than that is a failure IMHO.

Agree with you on the O line that and musical QBs early on definitely cost us some games. But the number one over all thing that was obviously different from the previous 4 years was discipline of the football team. That started in August. I’ll be curious to see if any changes are made this year in that area.
