2023 NOLA Bowl: Louisiana 31, Jacksonville State 34

This is what happens, regardless of circumstances, when you go cheap. You get what you pay for.

Dez could have gone 0-12 and he was safe. Can’t change during the stadium construction.

But come ‘25, better have a wow hire lined up. Milktoast isn’t going to cut it.

I don't think they went cheap. They went dumb. A coach at Des level should not have been paid that much! Period!!!!

Correct. They overpaid for this garbage

[CajunJeaux]

Not much else to add to what has previously been regurgitated by all here. I won’t berate our staff / players, but these results are not acceptable.

Let's see how many players hit the portal next couple of weeks....

It’s about to go off watch.

[Hudsheen#Fired]

Since we all know des is going nowhere, time to demo the complete coaching staff. Bring in an offensive coordinator to call plays because clearly Des can't coach and call plays

[MrCaelan04]

For what it’s worth, and I’ve said it over and over, let’s fire Des tomorrow and promote LaMar Morgan. Our defense kept us in this game, and they had to be out there for 100+ plays. They balled out. Desormeaux didn’t.

[Cajunrunner]

If we’re being honest, we got beat 31-10. Think about it.

Actually worse without those turnovers, because the offense would have likely scored on a couple of those drives.

What happened happened but it could have been a worse discrepancy.

Without the three timely defensive scores, Jax would have probably scored again, perhaps twice more.

In no world did the defense play good.

If there’s one thing I hope, please no one be too negative on Ragin Review tonight. Lot of positives from this game. Let’s focus on those!!!

You don’t hire any coach that NOBODY else in FBS would hire. Plain and simple. Saw this s coming when he got on staff. I’m convinced this was put in motion years ago.

My guess will be a lot.

You might be right, but they were also flat out gassed because our offense couldn’t stay of the field.

And gave up over 500 yards. They made plays. I’ll give them that. We are highly predictable on defense outside of some great individual efforts.

Without the defensive scores, we lose 31-10. The offense was atrocious and play calling even worse.

Why have an offensive coordinator if the coach is calling plays. And doing bad job at it?

I thought our offense was bad in the independence bowl. This was worse and you still had a shot to win the game! Put a drive together, get a couple first downs and we win. They were incapable of doing it.

Allowing 34 in spite of the three stop-and-scores says you're right.
