Desormeaux: Integrity Defined

[cajungmg]

What will the Ragin Review Podcast guys think about all of this?

[CajunEXPRESS]

Don’t believe that Waites had many people looking to sign him. He had one key asset, size. At the same time 372 lbs isn’t a number suggesting agility, quickness, and speed. According to a Florida source he spent almost two weeks in the transfer portal. Clearly N felt he had potential beyond size. Could well be Des felt different.

[CajunT]

You said you would wait to see where they were going. Give us your 2 cents on Napier now.

Coach Des tweet spesks for itself. I've been on the phone with several friends that are on coaching staffs and they verified pretty much what has been stated here in this thread. But this goes beyond what happened today, it's also about what happened right after the bowl game when Napier came back for several more support staff.

Two players aren't going to hurt this program that much with the talent on the roster. But what is worse is how Billy Napier has conducted himself in breaking his word to staff he brought in and Desormeaux, the man he called his friend. I heard that Des and Billy Napier had a phone conversation before he posted that tweet. I don't know the details but , I think we all get the idea from Coach Desormeaux's tweet.

I don't blame the young men who want to better themselves and by chance, if they felt like entering the portal for perceived greener pastures, then so be it.
I do blame the adult coach that presented himself as the humble, loyal, stand with your brothers, God abiding, do what's right kind of person that turns on the hand that fed him. It's one thing to have a type of coach, that comes in with a high powered name, does whatever it takes to win, and moves on pillaging everything and made no attempt to hide it. But to have a coach that presumed to take the higher ground, only to prove that he's a scumbag too. He did not have to offer these players. The right stance would be to let them go anywhere else, if they wanted out, but to take them from the program that you built yourself, to better yourself, is malicious to those that stood by you. Just wrong on many levels.

Agreed T.. We been hood winked by a wolf in sheep's clothing. F Naps.. like I said I will be a huge Seminole fan next year in the hopes his sorry azz gets ran out... Class is important. His cut throat crap to a program he just left is unforgivable. I hope he needs viagra and it don't work.

I said as long as billy didn’t go to LSU I’d always welcome him back. I retract that statement. He better enjoy the Florida thug life because he’s not welcome back here. If we could only get a bowl match up with Florida next year. If this gets legs espn could try to make it happen for the story line.

[Geaux]

I'll ride for Mike D all day, but we have to take off our red glasses for a moment. This is strictly business, welcome to the big league.

We all have or knew someone who has left a job at a smaller company to follow a leader at bigger company. This often leads to a pay increase. This is often not solicited by the leader. It's the personel taking advantage of an opportunity. These kids were great Cajuns and good luck as they move on. It's a bigger payday and an opportunity to play SEC ball.

We almost had Stetson Bennett. The kid bet on himself and he's leading a team in the FBS Championship game. These kids deserve the the same opportunity.

I agree, circle the wagons. We know know the rules and the game. We can't go toe-to-toe with SEC football. If we want to keep these guys, we'll have to spend with the big boys. NIL has accelerated the gap between P5 and G5.

Hate the game, not the players.

Do we have to hate every single coach who leaves the program ?

Napier was a net positive to the program .
He don’t work for UL anymore .

Be happy he was here when he was here .

He works for UF now

If Robe would not have died I think some of you would have figured out a way to hate him also .

Bad example.. Robe was a man of integrity. A real man of Honor and living what you preach. Don't disparage him with any connection to Billy. Note , I realize that was not your intention.

Well I’m glad I didn’t buy a “scared money don’t make money” T-shirt, but I am ready to invest in a “I hope you need viagra and it don’t work” T-shirt. I’d wear that thing to work.
