Football Staff specULation

Not sure if Des has a relationship with this guy at all. He can coach any skilled position on O including the TEs. Been to Ark st, Sam Houston Ga So, and Tulane with fritz. Most recently at Ga So as OC and got let go I’m assuming when Helton came in. If not a position guy would be good analyst. I’ve met him personally good man and coach.

The fact of the matter is that you have absolutely no clue of the exact role CMD has played and the responsibilities CMD had in the success of the Cajuns and CBN during the CBN era. All I know is that time period got us a hell of a lot of wins, it got CBN a hell of a new job and all three - CBN, Dr MAggard and the team - are on board with this decision.

I believe CBN knows, Dr Maggard knows and his team knows and each of the three have whole heartedly endorsed him.

Why can’t you?

I know as much as you do about the role MD has had in that locker room and on that staff. I am pulling for mike and hope he becomes the winningest coach in Cajuns history. Please stop acting like I am pulling against him. I’ve known him and his family since his playing days at CHS. All I’m saying is perception wise Doc took a huge leap of faith.

The bottom line is and you can’t argue the fact, that there is not another D1 school in America that would offer mike the HC job, based off of his resume. Schools like Nw st and Lamar included.

Well established opinion by several. What’s to gain from continuing to make the point?

Yep. Just have to keep reiterating it with guys that jump to their own conclusions on what you’re trying to say.

You said it right here, so just quit. You and I really don’t know a damn thing and the people who know decided he should be and is ready to be the HC here.

As to the conclusion that he would not be the HC at any other D1 University, you don’t know that either and if that is the case, it would be that unlike the decision makers here, the decision makers there would be just like you . . . They would not know. . So give it a break.

Why? I think most, if not everyone, have concerns. The potential issues are evident. The question now, is what’s to be gained for the Cajuns by their most die hard fans continuing to point them out, again and again?

Why would a coordinator come and work for a HC that has less qualifications than them

I guess we will find out in very short notice. . .

We could hire anyone on the planet and some here would be worried. That’s all they do.

Ron Roberts did here and at Baylor. Happens way more than you think. I also don’t necessarily think being an OC somewhere makes you more “qualified” to be a head coach. You hear it all the times, blank is a great coordinator but isn’t head coach material. Ron Roberts for example doesn’t want to be a head coach.

To work at a Top 25 program?

For money?

For career advancement?

That’s not how it works. In almost any case the assistants are looking for job opportunities, new experience,money, and networking! I’ve seen many cases of very qualified people signing up on a dead tree knowing their next thing will be a pink slip. These opportunities are rare, and valuable. We’re certainly not going to be paying like a P5 regardless of the head coaches so why they’re coming could be for any number of reasons beyond some I mentioned.
