    The Goat!!! Hands down one of best coach’s in the game. Took a chance on me when i had no business running at the D1 level and made me a conference champ. Mane Men lie, women lie, numbers don’t! I was also struggling with some personal things and he was extremely supportive and caring. Anyone who says differently then they were the issue. Love ya coach AP

    Great coach. Workouts are all the same, the question is can you produce results and he does. Doesn’t matter where you get them from or who he’s learned from he’s done a great job. He was a great person for my daughter and treated her well. If we had to choose him again we would.

    He is coach at Northwestern State but he is stealing practices from LSU. He never wrote one single practice by himself past 5 years. He is mean , he does not care about his athletes. He cares only if you are extra good. He lives in Alexandria which is like 45 min away from where NSU is. He shows up 4 times a week and doesn't come to practice other days. He is never in his office or does not show up to meetings about athletes.

    I had to make a comment after seeing below a former teammate who didn’t play clearly because they weren’t good enough. I had a great experience with Stu. On the field he’s very knowledgeable, off field was always in the office to go talk to about anything. He wants to help every way he can and wants to win.
