Head Coach Mike Desormeaux

Let’s see what the NFL thinks about him? Let’s see how great he is at the next level. Proof is in the pudding, padnuh. Care to make a wager on it? Show me what you’re made of, padnuh.

More straw men from you. I never claimed he was an NFL qb. Lots of good college QBs never play NFL football.

I don't know of anyone who thinks Lewis will be playing in the NFL. His talents were above average for the G5 level, and his leaderships skills were outstanding. Taken together, this made him a considerably better than average QB for the G5.

I agree App has a good Defense. Levi played within himself yesterday and did what he does best, run when given the opportunity and avoid the turnover. I think most people like those qualities about him.

Before yesterday Levi’s YPC was at a staunch 2.9. He doesn’t run when he needs to. He makes awful decisions, cannot make short to intermediate easy throws. That wasn’t on him, that was on Napier. But, we won, so no wonder nothing changed.

Many games that where way to close than they should have been can be directly attributed to Levi being coached up to be a pocket passer instead of a dual threat QB.

Post #182?

Meant the post from Hawk that started this sidebar.

Since Napier likes Mike so much will he play us in an Home and Home put his money where his mouth is

SEC schedules games years in advance... but I would guess Napier would be glad to play us.

Home & home? That's a question for the bean counters: we'd have to pay them what they make staying at home, minus what they'd pay us for going there.

No problem then! Levi graduates and a good old CHS baw takes over!

Geaux Cajuns!

I agree his TALENTS where above average for G5, but we never utilized those talents. Napier pounded that square peg into a round hole. And he got away with it time and time again.

That’s my only knock on Napier was for not seeing how misused Levi was. When everyone else without their heads up their asses could see it.

So, what is Mike's resume'? Surely no one should mind showing off his resume'.

Not really a resume, but there is a pretty good history of his experience on the RaginCajuns.com site where there is an article about his hiring.

I like Des, but this hire from an optical point of view looks awful for us. It screams small time, when you look at it from 30,000 feet.

But hey, Joe Paterno was a ____ty hire at some point. So was Bo Schembecler & Woody Hayes. Time will tell. I trust Maggard.

And as for Levi…he’s the NFL’s problem now.

I hate that term “optics”. It’s either good or bad. And we really won’t know for a little while. I personally am surprised and was thinking he would be OC here or somewhere or a FCS coach first, but clearly Maggard thought he was ready.

I’m sure Maggard knew there would be doubts. I’m sure he knows it’s a little out of left field for those outside the program. All word from in the program is overwhelmingly positive.
