11.10.23 Fallout - gloves off

[ManAboutTown]

People have been screaming about game-day experience & I really scratch my head on what that truly means.

If quality football is not being played on the field, does anything else truly matter?

Are people going to say "Man, the team sucked. But I tell you what, I can't wait for next Saturday to listen to the band, watch the timeout gimmicks and receive the next promo towel at the gate???"

Y'all have to be joking. How can there be this many horrendous takes in one thread... You can't understand why the pageantry and total experience is important to the game??

We had enough talent to beat ODU, GSU, stAte, and USM. The new collective will help, but it will not completely overcome our bad coaching.

No doubt. But with the aforementioned talent we would have skull drug all of them.

Napier was one of the worst in game coaches we ever had. But he overcame that with discipline and focus on the small details which was developed in the process of the off season and he just recruited better talent than most in the belt.

Yeah, who wants that? A coach that can put together a great staff and manage to be such a terrible in-game coach that you go 13-1 and gets us in the top 25 for 2 years. So glad we don't have THAT problem anymore! Give me what we got now...bad in-game coaching, no discipline or attention to detail, a mediocre record, lose to teams less talented and can't win the close ones. A real no-brainer there, ammarite?

. . . that does not support the agenda . . . so it's not there . . .

[CajunVic]

. . . still looking for names of the $750,000 coach who was available when CMD was hired and is tearing it up right now as a head coach because somebody else did a national coaching search . . . just one name . . .

Respectfully disagree. Mike had half the guys you mentioned on his first team and still couldn’t produce a winning season.

I don’t care who you have out there. If they aren’t in position when the ball is snapped, it’s gonna be tough. Take a guy like Keyon Martin. Against ODU he looked like one of the worst CBs we’ve ever had getting burnt time and time again. Go back and watch the film and almost every play he got cooked he wasn’t ready when the ball was snapped. He has had several solid games since then.

[CajunVic]

. . . sounds like a coaching adjustment on Keyon Martin . . .

[JAB]

It's the ____ like this.. You can't actually be serious. lol

If UL's definition of a "good coach" means "someone who is successful in the Sun Belt Conference" then I suppose two things are true:

1) You are correct that Napier is a good coach.
2) UL will be champions of mediocrity. Congrats.

Bailey, Johnson, Amos and Waites are all producing on P5 teams. Just Bailey and Johnson would be the 2 best offensive players on the team if they were here. The best 1-2 punch in the league by a long shot if they were here.

In the ODU game our DBs looked bad because they were looking at the sidelines trying to get the play when the ball was being snapped most of the time. That was on the coaches. If Trey Amos was here Martin would be a good back up which is probably more suitable to his skill set.

. . . you have been attending Cajun games for longer than 32 is old, but hey, he knows better . . .
