Question for Insiders/Close to the Program

Guidry was locked the **** in all game. They kept showing him pacing back and forth on the sidelines with that killer eye-of-the-tiger look in his eyes. You could tell he lived for this matchup against Petrino. We’re lucky to have him.

That was my exact same argument I would explain, lol. They would be like Oregon has empty trophy case, its like we wouldnt even be talking about Oregon if they lined up in I formation, they atleast made it to the big game and the offense gave them a chance, its cutting edge and we need to get ahead of curve, recruits love it, UO made it with freakin Jeff Maehl as lead WR, you look at their roster and you are like how..

Meanwhile we have a offense like 2013 with Morris, Duke, Gus Edwards, Allen Hurns, Dorsett, Coley, Rashawn Scott, Asante Cleveland, Brandon Linder, Seantrel Henderson, Feliciano, Ereck Flowers having death struggles with entire ACC every week with losses to Duke and VT with a bunch of close wins.. (I dont think people understand how much talent that is for a team)

It really sucked seeing the game evolve right in front of us while we KNEW because we laughed at Nebraska hold on to option too long, we became the same holding onto pro style where you have to be so perfect and make offense hard. With limited practice time it made no sense..

“The spread”

I’ve never seen a more misused term. The debate about “the spread” was hot when I was still coaching. Couldn’t even bother getting into it with fans. I might have killed one of them from frustration due to rampant ignorance.

Hahaha. Good eye. He must be our Matthew McConaughey.

That's actually THE guy at the school that it's good to see on the sideline and fired up rather than up in the suites with the wine and cheese crowd if we want maximum buy-in from the administration.

The best coaches stay evolving. Watching other programs and coordinators to learn. Right down to HS. Believe it or not HS is normally a step ahead of the college game. My HS was running a true spread in the mid 90’s lol. Which made up for our lack of size and speed. That’s why I fought for the spread back in the early 2000’s when people like @awssi Dooger ( Canesport ) said it was a “ gimmick “ and would fade away. Kinda like hip hop in the 80’s / 90’s lmao.

Facts, on a spread attack. I was on a HS staff that averaged about 8ppg running an old school offense. Our next year team was gonna be "worse" on paper. My head coach, called a meeting with us and said we were going to a Franklin spread clinic, that Summer. To make a long story short, we installed it..... the very next season (with slightly worse talent), we averaged 28ppg. The following year, we averaged like 38ppg. I've been a "spread guy" ever since. Even though I primarily coach on the defensive side of the ball. I've seen what that offense can do.

so locked in and still coached up the defense during timeouts. When Couch got the INT to end it, he had such a big *** smile on
His face lol

We've all seen our new Cajun coordinators speak, answer questions, and we've been able to look at their coaching history. We all can agree that there has been a turnaround and elevation on both sides of the team. Sometimes SOB's can get production - but it's usually quickly reversed.

Does anyone know just how well liked these guys are by the team members?

I look at how they react together - and there seems from the outside to be genuine connections and respect for each other. I don't see conflicts to speak of - and folks going off on a tangent.

Anyone close to the program that could address that question and enhance what we see from the outside looking in?

I'm really liking what I see.

Cajuns are all about family and the truth, no bs in their makeup. Love these guys.
