LGT Final: Louisiana 23, Texas State 17

[Big Tyme]

The perfect play call won’t work if a block is missed or a bad pass is thrown or good pass is dropped(twice by the same receiver Tuesday)

This is the thing. Ad the other side gets to play too so a good call on offense can be negated by having the right call on defense. Sometimes the other guy just makes a better play.
It is really hard to tell bad play calls from bad execution unless you are watching the All-22 and can rewind.

Napier calls plays NOW when he could hire a millionaire OC. That’s just a bad take.

Is it not possible Napier is just a micromanager on offense? I mean there is a lot more evidence of that, then your conjecture.

Don't get stuck on stupid, if Napier recommends his non play calling OC to replace himself... guess what, Florida won't bite. Not even if he starts winning.

Its not normal.

ps not calling anyone studid, but we all make pitt stops

You certainly have a dizzying intellect.

The perfect ragin pagin post doesnt ex….


Never mind.

Charlie let's clear up a couple of things really quick:
1) I have supported Mike Desormeaux since he was hired. I was there at the press conference.
2)I defended him from day one and constantly explained to people that Billy Napier plundered this program on the way out and how many support staff and players were taken.
3) I have known Des since he played quarterback in HS and his father as well.
4) When he played here, I asked him to coach the QB's at a football camp I sponsored with Trev Faulk.
5) I have been a member of his QB Club since day one and are among the 35 to 40 people that bother to show up weekly. I have chairbacks and I'm a member of RCAF. So, don't get it twisted that I don't support Mike.

But, let me also say Mike Desormeaux like all coaches has his flaws. When it comes to Des, he is stubborn and prefers to learn lessons that hard way. He has said as much recently beginning his first year with a system playing two QBs, including the Monroe game, and pulling Fields with a two-touchdown lead at halftime. I have spoken to former coaches that coached him under Bustle, coached with him under Napier, former players that played with him and played for him. And some of them have said the same thing about Mike.

Now, I have a few more examples but since this discussion has caused such a ____ storm, I will end my post this way. I'm extremely happy we are winning again, and Coach Desormeaux is proving a number of people wrong this season on how to build his program. This isn't personnel, it's my opinion based upon what I see and what I have learned. Let's not act like Bob Marlin fans that refuse to have such discussions. I'm not listening to that crap; we can just kick that bs to the curb. I'm going to express my opinions because I backup my words with actions of support.

How about running the ball on 3rd and 10 when down 6 to 0. Washington gets stuffed vs breaking one to the house and Dez would be an idiot in the view of some folks. We have run the ball with success on third and long frequently this year. Hopefully that helps the passing game in remaining contests.

Like I said, the reason I didn't trust Napier's "best interest" recommendation (at the time) is because of his simultaneous player poaching project.

What ____ storm? And I agree with nearly everything you posted there that I can. When did I say you didn’t support Mike? I definitely never said, implied or tried to imply that. Who said you can’t have your opinion?

Some people think getting to have an opinion means never having it questioned.

Ironically I think Ben checked to that run on that play.

Because most people who say bad plays are bad play calls are judging solely by the outcome of that play. Never factoring in any other factors such as what the defense did, how the play was executed etc. I’m sure some in here are qualified to determine in real time which were bad calls and which were bad execution or good defense. But I bet the number on this forum is small, and I bet few of them ever say anything.

I’ll say the 4th and 5 play was a bad call or at least bad personnel. You know the out was the first and only read on the play so it’s going to 81. Not to bash the kid but he has more drops than catches this season. Should have had 9,3,15, or 4 there

Sorry if I misread who was upset by my comments. Thanks
