I don't wish Billy Napier failure; I just don't care. He provided the Cajun program with its greatest four years in history. While he was here, he established a standard for this program that will be difficult to duplicate regardless of the staff that is leading this program. He is no longer part of this program; our success does not have anything to do with Napier going forward outside of the remaining athletes he recruited that remain in the program.
That was not the message or promise of this hire. It was supposed to be a continuation of the winning program. It has now become a rebuild while a coach gets on-the-job training. That is the type of hire you make after Baldwin or Stokley, not your apex. You can blame NIL or the portal, but other teams in the league seem to have figured that out. UL had the highest SBC operating budget for football. Going 6-6 with an SOS of 110+ is terrible ROI.
Definitely not after your apex, but I don't tgink thatvtype of hire is, appropriate after a Baldwin or a Stokley run either.
I think Desormeaux will end up being one of the greatest coaches in UL history but for a program to throw away two seasons while he "trains" is not acceptable.
They did this with golf, and many other sports.
It remains shocking that admins feel they can put programs on hold. Season ticket drives on hold. Fans on hold.
Oh wait, this is, a Billy ball thread. Well with that in mind, I hope Desormeaux has a Billy Beane move up his sleeve
Not sure if anyone told you, you can still support the program and voice your frustrations. I'm a realist. I ain't from Missouri, but you still gotta show me. If you don't want people opineing for the old regime, then win like the old regime. Don't get mad at fans because we care. Feel free to paint rainbows and unicorns, that's fine too.
