Mike Desormeaux for Louisiana Head Coach

[JayWalker]

You’re also smart enough to know that Mike Desormeaux is a hellova coach. But who will fill out his staff when some guys are poached?

What’s his connections throughout college football? Ron Roberts leaving Baylor to become DC here again?

I agree that Desormeaux should be the HC of the Cajuns. Just not now. He should follow Napier to Florida, expand his coaching footprint and build more relationships at a larger program and then, take over as the HC of The Louisiana Ragin Cajuns.

While I'm not disagreeing with you, Mike has been a college football coach for six years. He's met many other coaches on the recruiting trail and I'm sure already has an idea as to who he might hire depending on what openings he has. And, if he needs advice, there's a guy in Florida that I'm sure is willing to help.

Yes, because a TE coach who has never coached at any other program is not qualified to take over a program that finds itself in a top 25 of the CFP.

Could he work out sure. But, he would be the weakest candidate on paper that could get hired.

I'm not for or against Mike Desormeaux, or anyone else on the current staff. But if Dr. Maggard is looking for someone with a high moral compass, knows how to win and comes from a successful program, why would those traits only be found from outside of our Top 25 program? The best person for the job may (or may not) already be here. We will see.

So this thread is being used to make Buckley look even dumber than he already is....it all makes sense now!

It ain't much, but it's honest work.

78 today, should be a hardly no clothes day . . . Skin, baby skin (not nudity)

Definitely not, we know where that got you.

Definitely not, we know where that got you.

How could you of all people not see the humor in a dancing turkey . . .

Hope Mike gets it....."experience elsewhere blah blah blah Lets go Brandon". Essentially that is a good summary of what I read


Experience to lead has come to him the last decade....HIS PEER COACHES SEE THIS in spades. From Billy, Hudspeth Jay Johnson, Mike Roberts, Sale etc think of all the asst coaches he knows and has learned from the past decade. Even have Viator on staff now as an analyst.

It would be a high priority to bump Toney salary up to keep him another year or 2.

IMHO that is being extremely short sighted.

Just because they have been at Bama doesn’t mean they are ready to be a HC.

He’s got several college stops. Bama being the most notable and biggest step up.

Say we hire Desormeaux and the staff stays together for one year. Then Patrick Toney leaves. What connections will Des use to find a replacement?

[Turbine]

I know they are spending other people's money but what is Desormeaux type worth before incentives?

$500G? $600G?
