I 100% Support Mike Desormeaux! (formerly I will not support Mike D)

[CajunVic]

. . . But when you compare the way this coaching situation from Billy leaving, to the hiring of Mike, every single fan, or even casual observer of the Louisiana football program should jump up on the table & give Brian Maggard, Billy Napier, Scott Stricklen, Mike Desormeaux, the players & Mr. Savoie as well as the Florida administration a resounding standing ovation. ALL of it was done with class, dignity & in a way professionals should act when conducting business.

So why the need for so much cheese here, including from you . . .

[CrazyCajun]

People here are using that as experience. All I am saying is being a high school coach and being a college coach is apples and oranges

Not saying high school coaches haven’t been successful but I don’t think you can use that either when it comes to coaching at a Division I-A school

It is experience though, I don’t see anyone saying that bc he coached high school he will be successful but he has been in charge of a program. He took a terrible program and brought them to state semifinals. People bring up his age but he is only 2 years younger than Napier was when he got here. He is older than Sean Mcvay who coached in a super bowl. If he would have been with hud at north Alabama or cane with Napier from ASU like Rob Sale would his “experience” be that much different? Mike Is a smart guy, I don't think he would have accepted the job if he didn’t believe he was ready. The dude is a winner, you can’t teach that. These concerns everyone has are legitimate I guess but not sure how it concerns anyone more than the guy who hired him and interviewed him for 4 hours and watched him for 4 years, mike apparently alleviated those concerns to the guy that hired him.

Dah?

Just curious, but has Maggard hired a coach yet that hasn't improved the team/culture?

Let's look:

Glasco- Homerun (no pun intended)
Napier-Homerun
Matt Deggs- time will tell, but even though he was hired by Maggard, this was kind of forced upon him under the circumstances. However, I believe Deggs will be another homerun.
Kristi Gray (volleyball)- Volleyball had one of its best seasons' ever.
Lon Badeaux (Track) - Another strong season.

MD- will see, but if Maggard says he is the man, then I have to believe MD is the man.

Did I miss any coaches hired by Maggard?

This is old hatch, it’s been on this board since last Thursday. Glad you finally see it now . . . Wish others would do there homework . . . They would also . . . But sometimes it just to easy to eat the cheese . . .

Yes, you missed a couple.

#1 Lance Key--will become a Homerun for soccer
#2 Luc Godin--Men's Tennis, this is a great hire.

He has been highly thought of by college coaches for a while. He has contacts.

His track record is proven.. eye for the "it" factor and not the eye test.
