Louisiana vs Jacksonville State in 2023 R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl

[Big Poppa]

Who previously was never more than a position coach or co-DC…they really Troy state’d that hire. Hires either work or they don’t. Very few coaches actually are successful at every stop they have been. An extreme minority have a straight trajectory to the top, not even Saban or Meyer. In fact I can’t even think of a highly successful coach that didn’t struggle somewhere or at some point. I’m not satisfied with where we are either but he is the coach and I don’t see how it helps to constantly hammer him. I don’t think there is anyone who wants to win more than Mike.

I’d say he has a slightly better resume.

Yeah big administration guy here. Your view is low brow, somebody has a different view than you and it makes them an apologist for the administration. Responses like that are usually a sign of low intelligence. You know the coaches aren’t actually on the field right? It weird that almost all of these coaches were here when a different set of players were winning those close games but now they don’t even know what it is right? Bc you definitely know more about competition than Mike Desormeaux, Tim Leger, Lamar Morgan and many others on the staff. None of those guys have competed at a high level, maybe you should teach them what that’s about.

Many folks on this site views are very different than yours. You have been the only consistent poster along with Jacob who have tons of built in excuses. The standard has been raised and the standard is the standard that doesn't change for anyone. This team isn't meeting the minimum expectations. The coaches aren't on the field but they lineup the folks and call plays to help the team succeed. Play calling on both sides of the ball have showed the severe lack of experience. If all of the coaches were here and now it's a difference set of players then ask yourself why aren't these kids being coached up? Maybe they have completed at a high level but they sure haven't showed the ability to coach at a high level and that is what they are getting paid to do.

Which guaranteed he would be a winner how? Plenty of coaches with extremely impressive resumes fall flat on their faces all the time. No matter which route you take, it can always go either way. Every single hire will either work or it won’t. You see successful coaches get hired away and fail, get fired and succeed somewhere else or never succeed again. It’s the same guy, which tells me circumstances have a lot more to do with success and failure than people admit. That goes for pretty much any profession. My biggest concern personally is S&C bc we sure seem to be injured a lot more than under Napier but everyone at Florida wants Hocke fired bc they are injured more than ever before, maybe it’s just luck. It’s east to keep saying it, “next man up” but at a certain point it’s just not possible, not at this level. I think if we had a healthy o line the last 2 years we are looking at 8-9 wins both years. That’s not getting into QB, RB and DB injuries or the academic casualties last year.

But didn't we have the guy that was the assistant at TSAB? Rusty and Lewis were the best S and C guys we had imo.

Doesn't rich rod prefer a two qb system?

Rich rod has won titles in four different conferences.

First off it’s Because this site has become an echo chamber of miserable petulant children stomping their feet when they don’t get their way. The coaches aren’t dropping game tying winning touchdowns in the end zone, they are fumbling scoop and scores into the endzone for touchbacks, they aren’t injuring our players. Every coach on every team has calls that get questioned after they don’t work, Georgia, Michigan, Alabama..all their fans know more about football then those coaches do too. What I see is a staff who has us in position to win these games, we aren’t getting blown off the field. We are on the wrong side of a bunch of one score games. That’s what I mean when I say we aren’t far off…bc we aren’t.

Nice way to skate around everything that I pointed out.

And rusty is back in the sunbelt at Troy, and that’s not a knock but did he forget how to do it? Why did he go up into p5 and back
Down? You think he forgot how to workout? Same with Lewis carrella, and like I said hocke, we stayed as healthy as i can remember under hocke and Florida has dropped like flies. You think he just forgot what he was doing?

Not at all, I addressed everything you said.
