Head Coach Mike Desormeaux

[CajunFun]

Oh man, with the number of key players we will lose this year even Napier would have a hard time replicating this years success next year. All the naysayers will be ready to run Mike out of town if he loses 3 or more games next year.

Maybe.

Maybe not. Napier's recruits improved with every class. We should have some talent in the wings.

We do have some talent, but losing those studs on defense is going to hurt. There’s no way we replace that in one season.

Besides contacts to make OC, DC and S&C hire, my biggest question mark on Des was recruiting. This quote from Dr. Maggard in Kevin Foote's article is promising in that regard.

“We know what he does on the recruiting trail,” Maggard said. “He’s probably recruited more than a third of our roster. He is a tremendous recruiter when it comes to the state of Louisiana. He has great relationships with the high school coaches.”

You are also $10,000 richer because I am not a gambler who bets with folks.

Happy for Mike.
Happy for the team.
Happy for the program.

It’s going to work. I’m not concerned. I support the hire 100%

Ok Vic. Ill bet you $100 that Des wont be the head coach for the 2022 season. Deal?

Vic...what you gonna do with that $100 that LouisianaB owes you ?

[CajunJeaux]

Congrats, Mike. Great person you are, wishing you all the success you deserve.

I’ll continue doing my part as a fan of the Ragin Cajuns! Let’s kick some ass in 2 weeks and set the standard under your watch!!!!!

Transfer portal is there but Dez will have a hard sell than a Golding or a Schumann would have...just saying

Looking at the locker room’s reaction to the announcement, he won’t have a hard sell at all.
