Poor Coaches

[Cajunrunner]

I’m just glad we did a well vetted national search last year just like we did when hiring Hud and Napier.

Always good to go through the process.

Every top-25 team loses players.

It is still a huge advantage to have been ranked the year before, in both planning and recruiting.

It is so easy to get out of practice in this regard. Plus the vetting process gets your program noticed by so many coaches, that you might be asking to schedule in future years.

Good time to build relationships.

Did any of them inherit a top 25 program that had just won 13 games the previous year?

And 3 #1 recruiting classes in their conference.

We all know what we lost in graduation, portal, and coaching staff, even video guys.

That 13-1 team got there ass kicked by a 4 win Texas then won 13 straight games against peer competition. 8 of those 13 were one score games. So if you look at how much adjusting needed to be made this year….. before yesterday every game this year was a one score game late in the 4th quarter, usm and rice made finals 2 score games. Any realistic person can understand how close we are to last years team as a program. Some of y’all are acting like Dez and the hiring of Dez set us back 100 years.

I think this program is building depth well and playing it. So I think we will be good next year. My only major concern is QB. They can have all the talent in the world but if they don’t have IT they don’t win consistently.

Nick D said Napier also took our calf massage guy. LOL.

It’s tough to keep your herd going without your calf massage guy . . .

Q

Is Coach 'B' Stokley?

Stokley won more than 2 games in 87.

My concern is that is that it floats a perception out there, with recruits/community, that we are not serious about football.

You are correct. But last year was the first time they were lost to the portal. If there were no transfer portal in college football and we still had the 2 RB, and OL, the DB, LB and WR that left through the portal we’d be talking about playing in the conference championship game right now.
