Head Coach Mike Desormeaux

[JMV JustMyView]

I did hear he’s considering Cajun Vic for SID for football.

Stadium janitor.

Maggard also said in his press conference that Coach Des checks off all of the boxes that he has.

[JMV JustMyView]

Welp. I don’t think it was the route that any of us expected (not that that matters). But we need to all get behind him now.

Good luck Coach Mike. His staff will be extraordinarily important.

I expected it.

Mike was my third choice behind Jay Johnson and Pete Golding. With that said I truly believe he will make for the smoothest transition possible. I am concerned about what staff he will build around him as a good bit are headed to Gainesville. Let’s get it, CMD!!!’

How did y’all do against him when he was an upperclassman?

I was a UL student by that time so it doesn’t count. Pretty sure I might still be donating $28 if I put a dollar for each point scored his last 3 years lol

[CajunEXPRESS]

Agreed. Talk about USL'ing it.

We had the opportunity to go out and attract the next Billy Napier.

Wow. Just wow.

April fools?

I’m not sure we USL it. Who is your ideal coach that we could hire. Bama fans might question Golding > than Desormeaux for example!

[JMV JustMyView]

BIG MISTAKE!!!!!! PROVE ME WRONG PLEASE! I really think think this is USLING it. He has not been anywhere else he hasnt been a head coach anywhere, why would you hire him as a head coach?

Because he worked 7 years under two coaches that have worked at other big schools. He got trained by these guys.

[Bleeo]

Coach Napier was oc/Clemson for one year and got fired and oc/Arizona state for one year and they ranked 7th out of 12 teams in total offense that one year so he didn’t really have that much experience either, is the point I’m trying to make

I think it's fair to question this hire. There is no questions about the man Mike Desormeaux, he checks all the boxes in that area and the athlete's love him. But make no mistake, Dr. Maggard is taking a big risk on this hire, but he's going with the cULture.

I hope everyone will support this hire, regardless of personal opinions and give him a chance to prove himself. And let's keep the questions about resume and experience because there is none concerning his character or as a recruiter.

Don’t think he is ready

How well do you know what he has done for the last four years or more? how ell do you know him? Upon what do you base that definitive decision.
Look, None of us know. The simple fact is that with very few exceptions, hiring a HC is a crap shoot. How well did Tom Herman work out at Texas? Taggart at Fl St? Mullen at Florida?
But, evidently, the man who knows his abilities better than anyone else, and who has a lot of ego in this program, Billy Napier, believes he is the best man for the job, and the man who has a string of successful hire, Dr. Maggard (sp?) believes he is ready.
At the very least, we should take a "wait and see" attitude and not so forcefully decide that it is a bad hire.
