He’s not someone I would have expected them to hire. Has solid experience but not one of the top assistants that are available.

when you google his name, his mugshot from an arrest comes up. he also did not call plays at WVU..neal brown did. However, its no different than %99.99 of hires, it will either work out or it wont.

That was my point. He listed the high school Des went to not where he was a coach. Every coach went to high school.

I didn't even have to leave the State of Louisiana to find 9 coaches who I would have hired over Michael Desormeaux. Most of them would have gone to UL for $250K and a high incentive package. My point is, if you are going to hire a HS coach at your university, at least hire the best one available. I'd bet that the people on this forum could add 20 or more names to my list.

None of that has to do with the fact that mike went to CHSNI. I would have loved to see Louie get the job when Baldwin was hired. Louie the only one in that bunch with play calling experience at the college level.

Some of those names are some great recruiters.

Coach Cook would have been the football version of Robe.

So you think Murray County High School is a much better education than Catholic? The high school you went to doesn’t make you a good coach or not. I doubt the AD even asks what HS an applicant went to.
