Defining Season!

I’m ok with 3 years. I want Des to move to bigger and better things. That would mean success as a program and we weren’t a flash in the pan.

If he has success I think he is a lifer at UL...See Coach Robe, Coach Bab, Troy Wingerter, etc.

For a head coach in your main revenue product, no. Football isn’t a “work on your state retirement plan” sport.

I guess Joe Paterno missed that memo. So if Mike wouldn't have got promoted you think he was looking to leave?

It's impacted recruiting. An outsider with P5 experience offers a larger pool of assistant coach candidates and gives credibility when recruiting.

I love CMD, but he will have an uphill climb hiring seasoned P5 assistant coaches and convincing recruits outside of Acadiana.

Lamar Morgan coached at Houston under Belk, at Vandy under Minter who was with the ravens before Vandy and now Michigan. Also here under Robert’s and Toney.

Munoz coached at LSU and Baylor

Jeff Burris- Miami dolphins and Notre Dame

Giuliani-Buffalo bills, jets, Louisville and Arkansas

Bergeron-Southern miss , Arizona state

Norrid-13 years in the SEC Arkansas, auburn and Alabama

Ross-Mississippi state

Scott-tulsa, Memphis Virginia tech

Thomas- South Carolina

Paschall-Oklahoma state, ole miss and UNC

Connor neighbors- LSU and Alabama

Most of these guys also coached under Napier

Coach Desormeaux seems to be doing just fine with having a staff with P5 experience. Desormeaux was one of our best recruiters under Napier as well.

Joe Paterno is an example of someone looking at retirement and looking the other way.

I would be disappointed in any young coach not driven to seek bigger and better situations.

Facts, Gotta Love It! You know this board only likes speculation!

Were you disappointed in Tony for turning down “better situations”? Tony wasn't making 2 million a year either. If mike has similar success to Napier and gets his pay around that, why would he leave his family and wife’s family who are 20 Minutes away? And the school he played for? What better situation could the guy be in? That’s a movie script

With incentives Mike will be close to 1 million a year with the chance to work up to 2 million a year. How many folks in Acadiana do you know personally making that kind of money?

Football is a different beast than any other college sport. Win or else.

We already have three of our own as head coaches at UL. 4th, 5th and last this past season. That won't work with football.

If he is in position to turn down “bigger and better opportunities” then I doubt thats how he is getting those opportunities, it means he is very successful. I mean would you have been disappointed if Billy turned down Florida to stay here?

Comparing a head coach at a program like Penn State is a bit different than a head football coach at UL.

I’d love for Dez to stay 20 years with just about every season ranging from 8-4 to 12-0. But man, he puts together back to back seasons of 10-2 or better, he’ll be having to turn stuff down.

The word is Des was responsible for recruiting about 60% of the players when napier was here.
