Does it really matter?

None of them had better qualifications than Dmeaux in the 2 areas that mattered most to the AD.

Local recruiting ties and personal recommendations.

Why do people get their panties twisted for asking questions on this board? LoL! Like damn, are yall that fragile? Its really weird. Let me reiterate for the 100th time, I support the hire. I love Des. And I will support the team as much as I ever have. I know that when someone asks questions, its automatically assumed that in a negative light....like you're putting down the hire. To the contrary actually. Anyhow, if you want to know why it matters, I'll tell you. I simply asked because I want to know what kind of candidates he surpassed in the process. By the way, A source sent me that info via text message shortly after I posted this, so I got my answer. And I'll say, its fkn impressive the caliber of coaches he surpassedfor this coaching position! Makes me damn proud to be a RAGIN CAJUN!!!

If it helps, I think it's a very reasonable question and one I'd like to know the answer to, but don't think I will ever get with certainty.

I agree very much with your post....and why you asked the question. Is there any reason we can't share the list of coaches we interviewed? If that is not kosher, you could pm me. I actually think it might go a long way to cutting some slack to CMD, to know this wasn't just a 'usl' hiring.

It’s to protect the coaches who applied and didn’t get the job here in their current job. How hard is that to figure out. Thanks JtJ for continuing using that protection and not posting. If that is made public, all applicants will know the next time not to apply here because the promised confidentiality is not maintained. You should cut some slack to CMD because of those involved in the hiring process on our end. If that is not good enough for you, sorry to say you probably can’t be helped.

[CajunEXPRESS]

Well thank God some of the jurors have seen the evidence demanded by a few. Naturally everyone would like that information, me included. I’m fine with my curiosity unfilled.

[covcaj]

Am I correct that Mike is 36? If so, does that make him the youngest HC in Div. 1?

'SOME' assistants might be attracted to the job if they knew which HC applicants were attracted to the job.

You missing the point . .

My feeble brain cannot comprehend why that would be the case. Can you explain your line of reasoning, please?

[ManAboutTown]

I already posted two names. If you’re not impressed by those, you can’t be impressed. And yes, it was to help people understand that we did not ‘USL’ anything.. The Fossil and the Swim coach are a long time ago people..
