Louisiana Football Coaching Search

[ULGrad@HOU]

Exactly, none of us know. If mike is the guy, you know what would be USL’ng it? Not hiring him just bc he is mike. Everybody “trusts maggard” unless he hires someone they don’t agree with.

We all know Dr. Maggard won't USL-it. We have enough history to be confident about it.

I'm on the side that thinks Des needs more experience at other programs to learn what is done elsewhere, what works and also what doesn't. Dr. Maggard will pick someone with an experienced background, I'm pretty sure of that.

NO it wouldn't.

Mike checks all the boxes that Dr. Maggard is looking for.

And, Dr. Maggard will make the right decision as he ALWAYS has when it comes to coaches.

I have no idea if Mike is the guy.....but if he is, all the USLing is in your head. Dr. Maggard didn't suddenly become stupid.

If Maggard hires Mike, it's to save money.

That is an opinion, but I doubt seriously that would be the reason Dr. Maggard made the decision as opposed to a collateral benefit of the right decision as Head Football Coach for Louisiana. There is a huge difference between the two . . .

I don't know who your sources are. However, I don't believe that ANYONE has reliable sources in this case. That is due to the fact Dr. Maggard goes out of his way to keep his search efforts completely confidential.

Dr. Maggard has nothing to do with current coaches wanting Mike to get the job.

Dr. Maggard has nothing to do with current coaches wanting Mike to get the job.

Considering that he is the one that will make the hire, he has everything to do with evaluating that proposition . . . he is also very familiar with the cULture . . . which places him in an eminent position to determine which coaching candidates under consideration will be the best to continue the cULture . . .

Aren't y'all both CHS panthers? That's all I was referencing.

Ahhh yes...best offensive player I've ever seen in person at CHS. Hill is the best defensive player I've ever seen in person there. He was ridiculous in HS.

True, and I don't believe that will determine any hire. I expect anyone including Toney on the current staff that requested an interview would get one.

I did radio play-by-play for a mud bowl and got to see Dezmo play in high school.

At the time I thought his long ball was the prettiest thing I had ever seen. The way his receivers ran under it was a thing of beauty.

We never got to see it at UL though, Bustle had this thing for zip line passes.

I'm not sure who will be hired, but I don't think any hire will be made to simply save money. Dr. Maggard and Dr. Savoie have seen what a winning program means for this University and shown that they are willing to pay for that success. They will hire the person they think is best for the job, and then determine what it will take to get that person.

Huh? I've said already a few times I don't think he's ready for this slot.

I'll support him or whoever Maggard chooses.

I'll go to my grave thinking he had the best ball fake I've ever seen, though.

You are right on all aspects of this post.
