Why would a coordinator come and work for a HC that has less qualifications than them

Because he's smart?

In your scenario a level of autonomy can be expected by the experienced coordinator. Something every good coach craves.

[Turbine]

I agree

Fixed it for you.

Because Mike is a HC and he is not!

As SlappyCajun stated, working at a Top 25 program, at higher pay, for career advancement, are three good reasons to come coach for Michael Desormeaux.

Why the limitation, certainly there are more nuggets out there than just that . . . however that is a great start from an open minded poster . . .

Picking a head coach you do not know is like judging a beauty pageant. You see what the contestant wants you to see and the contestants project what they believe the judges want to see. We hear all of these other names of who many believe would have been a better hire than MD. MD was not in a beauty pageant. The other applicants were but not MD. Dr. Maggard, Billy Napier, President Savoie saw MD every day and watched first hand what he did and how he handled his business. Dr. Maggard saw nothing in his coaches search that was better than MD so he hired him for us.

We all believe that Billy Napier is going to kill it at Florida. I am hearing predictions that he will a national championship within 6 years. If that is true then wouldn't every school in the country want a head coach that learned at the knee of such a man? Wouldn't every school want a head coach that was strongly recommended by such a man? We are getting such a coach in MD. Remember how impressed we all were that Saban and Swenny both recommended the almost unheard of Napier. If we believe in Billy Napier, you have to also believe in MD.

Does this hire have risks? Sure but every hire has risk. Because we know MD should not disqualify him as our head coach.

Yes, rumored Tim Leger will be interviewed for HC

McNeese likes to pull from their coaching branch….errr tree. Would expect Viator to get a look too.

They go thru HC’s lately like grandma goes thru Depends.

With the current changes in college landscape, I just cannot imagine even the HC position there being more attractive than his role here at UL.

UL probably can offer more $ than McLeast. Heck, they could not outbid ULM for Viator.
