LGT Final: Louisiana 23, Texas State 17

[Jacob81]

Can’t complain about 1 sack and 3 tfl’s. They were top 25 in country in both.

Cajuns won 23-17 and are now 7-1. Can we please move on?

By any standard, 4 tackles behind the line is a good night. He was knocked out the game in the 3rd quarter. He is definitely impressive.

I was thinking this has been the best post-game discussion in a while.

Agreed, I don’t understand the issue. Nobody is insulting anyone, and people are bringing up valid points on both sides.

I believe some people think that any discussion or question of a coaches' decisions and schemes is dissent. And this should not even be discussed because he or she is winning. Some also say that no one should question a coach because they are not qualified, which is a simple argument to shut discussion down. They almost look at successful coaches like a Deity, a true fan should never question him or her.

I enjoy discussing it, especially with former coaches and players because you get other points of view and can learn things that you may not have noticed during the games. We've had these same discussions concerning Deggs, Marlin, Former Softball Coach and I can assure you it will be done with Coach Habetz eventually. Lord, that day will certainly be entertaining.

Napier never let him call plays. The very job the traditionally assigned to the offensive coordinator. Even by some of the best offensive minds to ever coach the game.

That means he didn’t think he was either not good enough to call plays, or not as good as me, therefore it is a stretch jump recomendation since he is openly reccomending someone he believes is not as good as himself.

Because of the Napier handcuffs, we will never know how much worse than himself he thought Desormeaux actually was.

In effect Napier was saying: "He's not good enough for me, but he's good enough for you."

Not diametrically opposed, its just UL had an unknown unknown on its hands.

Not necessarily, if I'm understanding you correctly. Just because Napier didn't think he was a good enough play caller, doesn't mean he can't be a good head football coach. You don't have to be a good play caller to be a good coach. That's why there's a whole coaching staff.

It was the actual run plays that were called which was the problem. We consistently get stuffed when we try to run the ball wide on the zone stretch.

We consistently maul people when we run out of the pistol between the tackles.

Can’t argue with you there. I even texted my group during the game to say, “I want to see us give the ball to Bill and his first step not be to the side.” I’d be interested to hear Des’ reasoning for the east/west run game.

[Turbine]

Not necessarily...

So you tellin me there's a chance I was right.
U
Just kidding.

Of course we now know (three years down the road) that he can be a good head football coach.
