Haha, I saw that, too. I wish I would have taken a picture of it.
UL quarterback Mike Desormeaux returned to the field for Saturday's 49-20 win over Florida International following a one-game absence due to a sprained right knee.
The senior enjoyed one of his more productive games of the season, completing 13-of-19 passes for 216 yards and two touchdowns. He connected on 11 of his 14 passes in the first half.
Early in the third quarter, Desormeaux hit wide receiver Richie Falgout for an 82-yard gain. Falgout was stopped at FIU's 1-yard line, setting up a 1-yard touchdown run by running back Tyrell Fenroy.
Desormeaux also ran eight times for 44 yards. He entered the weekend 12th in the nation in rushing yards per game (118).

When UL's record-setting running back Tyrell Fenroy walked into the room during the press conference, teammate Mike Desormeaux laughed at what he saw. Fenroy was wearing a red t-shirt with "Mr. 4000" in big blocking lettering on the front - a gift from some old high school friends.
Earlier Saturday night, Fenroy ran for 81 yards and three touchdowns for the Cajuns in a 49-20 win over Florida International before 29,031 at Cajun Field.
In the process, the senior topped 1,000 rushing yards on the season, becoming only the seventh player in NCAA history to top that mark four times. He also became the Sun Belt's career leader with 44 rushing touchdowns and remained the nation's active leading rusher with 4,322 career yards.
Fenroy's run into the record books came in the program's 1,000th game before the largest crowd in Sun Belt history. Combined with Troy's loss to ULM, UL (5-3 overall, 4-0) moved into first place in the conference standings with its fifth victory in six games.

Mike I never thought I would be siding with 90 vs you. The head coach gets all the credit because:
A: He is the visible head of any program.
B: Chooses which assistants get hired to do his recruiting and carry out his vision of what kind of program he runs.
C: Decides on the recruiting philosophy.
D: Which borderline kids to recruit.
E: Be the rock that the waves break against when things are bad.
F: Make the hard decisions to run a starter off the team.
G: The head coach almost always has to seal the deal with the recruit the assistants brought in.
H: Be the front man to get money for the program.
I: Motivate the team
Assistant Coach:
A: Know and teach his position.
B: Know and recruit his area.
C: Motivate the players.
Players:
A: Go to class
B: Go to practice and buy into what the coaches are asking 100%.
C: Do as much work in off season as possible to be ready to do A & B.
It is almost as though you are saying that because the head of ExxonMobil cannot be a roughneck, or a tool pusher he is less responsible for the companies 15 billion dollar profit than the labor guys.
This is why the head coach gets most of the money, and long term deals. Assistants are very important, and no good head coach wins with bad assistants or bad players, but he gets the credit because he makes the decisions that really matter in the long run.
Ultimately Fun a good coach is determined by his long term wins and loses. As is so often said, I don't have to know how to cook gumbo to know if I like it. Right now is year seven for Bustle.
From day one I said nobody should put much thought into years 1-3 because those years would be spent on just moving us from a disaster to bad.
No doubt for his detractors he still needs to do a lot this year, and next. He is actually one game away from buying himself 1009 & 2010. Kind of strange to think that you have a coach almost ten years before you know if you want him. But some only need to think of Tennessee. They have had a love hate relationship with that coach his whole time.
Everyone knows the head coach has ultimate responsibility for the end result. I might argue that it is somewhat impacted by finances. Go back and read my first sentence. I believe the head guy get BOTH too much credit for when things go well and too much grief when things go poorly. Therefore, at this time I believe the assistants are not getting enough props. That is one thing I have learned from attending the QB Club meetings.
I understand where you are coming from, and I do not discount the value of assistant coaches and especially players. I will simply say this, a ship without a ruder is at the mercy of chance, and UL with Baldwin was at the mercy of God. One cannot over emphasis how important the head man is. Let me think of other comparisons, lynchpin, keystone come to mind.
As they say even a broken clock is right twice a day. Crawl back in your cave, I know you are not loyal, and I know you will bail at the first hint of failure.
The title of this thread alone proves you are sybil, and your thinking you can pull the wool over anybodies eyes proves your are also a Bozo.
Hows that?
Wow. I extend an olive branch and you snap it in two. I believed in Bustle when he was first hired, lost faith after the MT game, wanted his head after McNeese, thought here we go again after USM. Since that game his team is proving themselves to be winners. We still have a lot of football left to be played. I believe this team will sweep the Belt. If they somehow fall apart I will again be on Bustles case. If that makes me Sybil then so be it. I'm only loyal to a coach in as far as if they are doing a good job. I'm always loyal to my school. I believe you also use to post to the sports only board. That was like 15 years ago. Anyways this Bozo wishes you a good day.
