LGT Final: Louisiana 31, USM 34

LoL! Homerun, huh? As evidenced by all those big schools hiring him away?
Hollywood should make a movie. "One of the best offensive minds in all of football goes completely unnoticed and his greatness never realized." I swear, on days like today, I want what some of yall are smoking.

Probably could have gotten Cook for $500k with many years of head coach experience.

That's not what you said. You said that if he was "ready and qualified" (to be a head coach), Napier would have taken him to Florida. Nice try.

LoL. Ok my guy. Let's try again. If he was ready and qualified to be a head coach, then Napier still would have tried to bring him to Florida. He wasnt qualified for a coach OR coordinator. However you wanna twist that argument, the point is still lost on you. It's Ok. Take your time and think on it.

Someone posed a really good question on the pod last night. Two years ago, what other FBS program would have hired Des as a head coach?

I don't think anyone reading this forum can name one program. Now, this is not a shot at Des at all. But it is a very good question.

Not a bad point, though I don't even know who needed a coach two seasons ago. And to be fair, would other programs even know who he was? If you're not hired because someone doesn't know you exist, that's different than if a bunch of schools are looking at your resume and think you're unqualified.

No one would have hired him as coordinator

Ron Roberts left Louisiana and went to Baylor. He was there three seasons and got fired. How long did it take him to find a job? About two weeks. Hugh Freeze hired him to be Auburn's defensive coordinator.

Most of our coaches will get snapped up just as quickly when we fire them next month. They couldn't get it done here, but they will get it done somewhere else. Wish them luck!

We actually did a dis service to Des who is a good guy. He wasn’t ready to be a HC, but could have been down the road. Des could have stayed on as an assistant and make whoever the new HC was going to be transition easier.
Des knows he is paid good money to win football games. Hopefully he figures it out on how to win these close games.

Agree to a certain extent. But let's be honest. The difference between Ron Roberts and Des/Leger/Morgan is light years.

Very true, Ron Roberts coaching tree is pretty impressive. Dave Aranda and Dan Lanning or Pete Golding I can’t remember which one.

Where’s all the geniuses on this board that were all in on Coach Dez ? Those that disagreed with the hire be damned. You got what you wanted. This ____ show of a football program has now been set back another 6-8 years all because it was an “easy” hire. He was the “obvious” choice. But it’s ok. We want a stadium that seats 40-45K people and they’ll all show up to watch this disaster. You’re dreaming. I’ve said it many times, the delusion on this board is scary. You don’t have to read or agree with this post but until you small percentage of fans admit to yourselves who we really are, things will never change. Some of you are so worried about what this university is called more than you care about anything else. The “name battle” that was supposedly won. You have a fetish with other state schools and what they do or don’t do as opposed to cleaning up your own house. You hate realty, you ____ rainbows and are quick to criticize other programs that this university can’t hold a candle to. Sad that 6 wins is now the gold standard. Another ____ bowl game (maybe) Yipeeee ! This weak azz schedule and this weak azz record speaks volumes about where this football program is headed. Take off the rose colored glasses.
