    They don’t have to worry about it, it’s not their money.

    If this was the business world and you just lost your company $76-100 million, you would be fired immediately. The admins who make these decisions hardly ever feel the repercussions.

    . . . didn't the AD that spent all that money on Jimbo at A & M just go to LSU and spent more on Kelley . ..

He turned out great for our program, but who knew when he was hired. Des will get another year. IMO, he needs to appoint an OC and relieve himself of those duties and free himself up to be a head coach. After 3 years under Napier and 2 years as HC, he should be prepared for year 3. And, I think he needs to find another DC as most of our losses have been moreso due to defense not offense.
    You can't let the offense off that easily. Neither side has helped the other this season. They both seem to struggle at the same time. I.E. the Georgia State game comes to mind in the first half. We are so young on the offensive side of the ball its been a learning curve and some of the play calling hasn't really helped. Both have been inconsistent but the defense, at times during the season, has looked way better than anything the offense has.

    I'm more concerned about recruiting. With Napier's players rotating out of the program, Des has to show he can recruit the same caliber player which I'm doubtful that he can.

    Wasn't Des doing most of the recruiting for Napier? The recruiting isn't the problem, the problem is once they get on campus the coaches struggle to coach them up.

    So, how do fire a coach with a 6-4 record before seasons end? After next week they’ll be 7-4. SMH

    Well, we don’t need a guy who can’t beat Appy.

    . . . Jimbo is not good enough for this place . . . I guess we believe the next coach will be satisfied with $750,000 plus rainbow farts and fairy dust cause we don’t have more money . . .

    My mistake. He was not let go at Alabama.
