Remember when I screamed ad nauseum from the mountain tops, that hiring Des would be a huge mistake? Pepperidge Farms remembers.

The university is being faced with having to perform layoffs. I doubt an interim president is going to want the optics of academic layoffs while buying out CMD and spending market rate for a replacement. Even if private money is floated to do so.

They had money for that dumb_____ extension though, didnt they? Want to talk about senseless spending???? As if ANYBODY was coming scoop Des away from us.

I was hoping he would be the next Tony Robicheaux. That dream is fading.

Yes, but…

1- Coach Robe proved himself as a head coach at McNeese prior.

2- Coach Robe wasn’t handed the keys to a team that had won 87% of its games over the past three seasons and finished the prior two ranked in the Top 25.

AND 3 - Coach Robe wasn't handed the keys to a team whose previous coach made off with every star player left on that team...

Well, we've gone from the Top 25 to the Bottom 25 with 3 losing seasons and a disastrous year. I was supportive of Dez and wanted him to succeed. But, after this, his 4th year, I hope a change is made. Our revenue is dwindling and football needs to do exactly what basketball did to infuse new life into UL athletics.

That's not the case at all. Napier took a couple of really good players and a couple of others transferred but we were left a very good stockpile of talent. That's what made Des's first couple of years so frustrating because we still had major football players.

We aren’t going back to the top 25 in this new era. Hell, lunch probably has an offer waiting for him already for next season.
