Podcast: Coach Michael Desormeaux

[CAJUNJUDO]

Even worse, those who use “yea?” as a filler word at the end of every sentence.

Possibly derived from the Canadians use of “eh”?

Is it “eh” or “A”?
I always thought it was “eh” or at least that’s what I picked up whenever I lived in Michigan. You would be surprised how many Michiganders used that in conversation. Thankfully it quickly faded once I moved down here.

Pretty good interview. I think it's just weird to hear another voice leading the Cajuns. You're easily drawn to the differences and nuances in their speech patterns and choice of wording in the responses. I had to stop myself from expecting essentially what Billy would say because they are different dudes.

[CajunNation]

Billy spoke REALLY slow. Chose his words.

DMEAUX just needs to slow down a little and drop a few Ums.

[CajunVic]

Everything will slow down for him. Give him an opportunity to adjust to all that has come his way in the last week.

[CrazyCajun]

He wasn’t hired as a public speaker, he is here to run a football program.

[John Cocktolstoy]

Who said "no doubt" and "without question"?

Bustle.

[Rougarou]

Good interview and I'm sure Coach Des will improve as he does more interviews. Sorry to say this but I can't be the only person with this observation. First impression is important. If I could offer constructive advice, eliminate "you know" and "I mean" which he must have said 500 times in the interview, much like a freshman player being interviewed. He has the right message and just needs to polish his interview skills, very important as a head coach as he will be in the spotlight on a regular basis. 100% behind Coach Des as he continues the legacy Napier left and takes UL to even greater heights.

Watching clips from Des’ press conference today, he is already a pro at the podium. He looked and sounded more than comfortable behind the microphone answering questions. Id go as far to say he presented better than Napier ever did.
