It only took two games to see without any shadow of a doubt that Sling Blade Billy is a total corch.

Even the dumbest corches wouldn’t have made the 2 calls he made. OK, maybe he shts the bed once, but to do it twice? This guy is a corch, with an attitude. The best kind. Guaranteed to fail.

100% this.
 
Sorry, guys, but this needs to be imported to the Gaytor Tears thread (it's over in the UF-Kentucky game thread)...

Louisiana up by FIVE on Appalachian State, on their own 35, with 1:51 to go. Gaypier elects to take a SAFETY, cutting the lead to THREE, and making Louisiana take the free kick from the 20. If you stopped the story there, maybe this isn't a big deal. But App State drove the ball down the field, set up for the 30-yard field goal to tie the game, and the only reason Gaypier survived was because App State missed the kick.





"In the weirdest year of the modern era of college football, UL’s intentional safety might have been the most weird. Or bizarre. Or confounding. Or, depending on who you talk to, downright silly. Some believe it was completely unnecessary, absurd and wild—altogether nonsensical. Others agree with the call, describing it as UL coach Billy Napier has: the best option given what had unfolded with his snapper earlier in the game."



And here's what is fast becoming the hallmark of Billy Gaypier...he spun some imaginary story to justify his decision, as if his way was the only possible choice that could have been made:

"When asked about the decision after the Ragin' Cajuns held on for a 24-21 win, Napier defended it, saying, "What would you do? You want to run the snapper and the punter back out there and see if you can do that?"

Leading up to Napier's decision, Louisiana had three bad snaps from long snapper Paul Boudreaux.

"I mean we could do that if you want," Napier said. "But we felt like the best opportunity to win was to take a safety there and make sure we didn't give up a bad play.""



But look at the video.

1. Louisiana snapped the ball to the QB in shotgun formation, with a safety-man behind the QB. So, in theory, (a) the center could have botched the shotgun snap, same as a punt snap, and (b) the punt formation could have had a safety-man behind the punter, who could have then taken a safety IN CASE THE PUNT SNAP WAS BOTCHED, but only if the punt snap was botched.

2. Louisiana's line from the punt was the 35, thus the punt would have been kicked from about the 25, while the line to punt from after a safety is the 20.

3. With a regular punt, you send gunners down the field, thus limiting the return on the punt. On a free kick, nobody can run down the field until the ball is kicked, thus you can get a good return off of a safety free-kick.



And then there is this:

"Analytically, Napier’s decision to intentionally take a safety generated a much lower probability of winning the game than the other options, says Ian O’Connor, a data analyst for the sports analytics company EdjSports.

The Cajuns were at an 83% probability of winning before the fourth-down snap. After the intentional safety, they were at 59%.

The only lower probability among the other options, but barely, was failing to achieve a first down with a fourth-down attempt (56.4%). And what if they had punted? An average punt and return (about 35 yards) would have produced a probability of around 72%. Even a poor net punt of 20 yards would have given the Cajuns a 63.3% chance of winning."



So to sum up, Sunbelt Billy makes poor gameday decisions, and then he tries to bullsh!te people into believing that his poor decisions are actually brilliant decisions.

And he did it again Saturday. TWICE. Two fourth-quarter decisions to go for it on fourth down in his own territory.

Insanity.

But I'm here for it. Never change, Slingblade Billy. Always be true to your illogical brain and your defective analysis. That's why we love you...

All good corches have the same thing in common
Even norvell last year was going for it on 4th in his own territory repeatedly

They really do have no one behind him, kind of a similar deal with Travis Hunter and FSU.

I’ve been telling them on Twitter for months that they were screwed if Richardson went down. Well, as it turns out, they may also be screwed WITH Richardson

I think you have made a flawless argument that can only lead to the inescapable conclusion that Sling Blade Billy has already been proven to be a corch.

Exhibit A is your post above, a veritable Bill of Slights with respect to gator corching futility.

Let it be known from this day forward that proof has been proffered that Napier is already and indubitably a corch.

Unfortunately, we have seen too much of it with Miami players under the last few staphs. Mario will lose eventually, and I am curious to see how our players respond when that happens. What was surprising, more than the players doing it, were the coaches and GAs.

I'm hoping calling an extra practice after a win tells us what we can expect after a loss.

I’m assuming Jean has no plans of refunding the money he took to “commit” to UF.

These guys don’t see how paying cash for visits and non-binding commits can blow up in their faces?

People don't get how FU is just paying for the positive press. Pay Kinsler and Jean to commit, paying Bryant to stay an extra day. They think everybody believes the press. It generates positive buzz on CFB forums, but players know the deal.
