Well hat's off to the Southern Mississippi band for making the trip. Don't often see the other band at CF.

[Big Buds]

Ghosts of T Ray and T Joe. Let's pray Jeff Landry replaces T Slow soon after taking office.

T-Joy and all his cronies have to go. Complete reset.

Nobody cares that we care

You really believe that Maggard -- the guy that was, to that point, ultra-aggressive when it came to football spending-- suddenly decided on his own to hire the safest possible person for the job that only months earlier he was prepared to pay someone $2m+ for ?

We’re talking about the same guy that keeps extending Marlin right?

Maggard has gotten complacent and never intended on being here this long. Billy was his ticket and he was supposed to get some big gig and ride off right after him.

Against ODU

Louisiana "had more first downs, more rushing yards, more passing yards and won the time of possession battle 37:31 to 22:29 … in a loss"

Against USM 4 of 15 on third down and 2 of 5 on fourth down.

As bad as 73% failure was in third down, 2 of 5 on fourth down didn't need to happen.

Take the points, go home a winner, bowl eligible, winning by 6.

Just like going for 2, way early in the game vs ODU, let the game play out before you make drastic calls.

Offensive yardage was 390 apiece last night but USM was 9 of 18 on third down but again, that's not where they won the game.

Louisiana gave the game, away.

Though privately concerned he was not ready i publicly supported Mike. I saw no point in blasting a hire that was a done deal. It’s very disappointing that all the fears are being realized. Mike loves this school, but it is clear he was not ready for this job. Napier was never a great in game coach he made tons of strange decisions, but his teams did all the little things necessary to win tight games. That’s the difference right now.

Considering I doubt Dez gets fired this year, I hope he learns and is able to adjust and improve.

[Hudsheen#Fired]

With the talent on this team we really should be 9-1 but instead we are 5-5 and in danger of not making a bowl

[Million$Mullet]

He can start by firing his DC and handing over the play calling duties to someone else

[JamesTheJeweler]

How's that hometown hire working out? Yall can get mad. IDGAF. Get used to it. It's Marlin 2.0
