Mike Desormeaux for Louisiana Head Coach

[Clutch0364]

Unrealistic to even think about it, in my non-professional opinion.

But if we do somehow land that dude...holy ____.

Do we want to be a good sunbelt program or one of the top G5 programs in the country every year? If the money was there to give Napier 2 mil and possibly more to stay, then money shouldn’t be what stops us from making the giant splash.

Well, good morning. There was a lot to catch up on, here.

The only things I'll point out this morning:

1. No one has been hired as of yet. And, I don't know that all the interviews have been conducted.

2. I'll remind you this is a very different coaching search from any we've ever conducted in the past. Most of you are commenting like you have forgotten that. (Not all of you,, but some).

3. Just because Mike checks all of Dr. Maggard's boxes only means he is qualified for the job in Dr. Maggard's eyes. That DOESN'T mean other candidates don't check those boxes as well.

The process of finding a new coach continues.....

That's pretty much my feelings... Mags is a magician. You see one hand while the other fools your ___. I don't fear losing a coach. Losing our AD terrorizes me.

Dude, me as well. Dr. M is the one guy we can't afford to lose.

I don't know if you ever noticed this about sports; skill positions get compared to skill positions, units to units.

Check out https://CajunStats.com during the game. It tells you more than the results of two full teams. Head to head is side by side.

There are "heroes" in every game and they rarely call the whole team a hero.

Vic said "heroes" I was asking based on his parameter.

Gobledy goop to support another one of your strained takes...in this case one that throws shade on one of the most loyal Cajun athletes ever. You should be ashamed of yourself for bringing up one of the low points of the Cajun's past just to make your dumb point.

That's, a much better take than your first "full team" hero reply. Keep up the effort.

Also, from what I can decipher from reading through a few of these posts, there appears to be another box that Maggard has that he did not mention in his message last week: "...and someone that Coach Brian Napier personally endorses (or one that is THOUGHT to be endorsed by CBN)..."
If we can confirm that with the AD, I think this thread will finally make more sense.
Until then, no one can predict the future, and we should know somethinbg FROM THE AD in 6 days.

I am not sure if that is a box or not, however I am pretty sure that the one individual that is most able to evaluate what CMD has brought to the table as a coach on the field and off the field for the University of Louisiana for the past 4 years is CBN.

So, when CBN goes to Dr. Maggard and endorses CMD as his candidate to replace him as the HFC for Louisiana, it should carry a substantial amount of weight. Surely CBN is vested in seeing that what he has worked with others here to create during the past 4 years continues long into the future . . .

Whatever, maybe just don't try so hard to be right that you bring up a past team failure to bring down one of our guys.

Vic's post was about heroes coming and heroes going.

Mike is a Ragin' Cajuns hero through and through, but not on that day.

And it was so vital you point that out, 14 years later, because....why again did you need to dig up a Dezmo bad day again?

No matter how bad his 4 interception day seemed at the time, you can come back as a hero.

This! It seems a few people have had a good time click baiting Coach Desormeaux in this thread. My understanding is the interview process continues, that is what was passed on to me yesterday. What some have done here is jump on the rumor that Mike Desormeaux has been interviewed and now proclaimed him the front runner. I've been assured that is not the case at this time.

[BabbForHeisman]

One thing is for sure, when someone other than Des is announced, Vic will jump on here and say "I told you it wasn't going to be him!"

[Bandwagon King]

I’m a coaching search nerd. Prefer it to the actual game. Had him on a list months before Hud was fired. Girlfriend was giving me grief for not claiming it.

I'm going through this nonsense backward. Please don't make me suffer through 29 more pages of the counselor's nonsense. Who are your preferred candidates this time & what makes them a great fit, or not? TIA

[Bandwagon King]

I got the dude on ignore, but you are about to be on their with him. Please stop posting quotes. At least he started a decent thread, you sir are ruining it.

SO dude has first hand knowledge that Desormeaux is on the inside track to get the job at UL. He also has first hand knowledge that Walker Howard is decommitting from LSU to go Florida. He had first hand knowledge about this Pry guy. At least I posted the places I was getting information & backing up my points & not just trolling for attention.

Nobody said Walker Howard WAS going to Florida. He is going to LSU.

Ask MAT about Pry, we had the same info

And yes I have first hand information that CMD is CBN ‘s choice for the job . . .
