Ragin Review LIVE: Q&A w/ Cajuns LB Andre Jones

Go listen to the pod cast with Craig and Chris Lanaux former teammate of Mike. You have to listen until the end. Chris must be one of the “ agenda” guys as you put it, because he said the exact same stuff, you accuse guys with an “agenda” of saying.

I talk to Chris often. While we can agree, there are head scratching things happening, he believes Des will succeed here.

I do to. I personally think he will learn from his first year and make adjustments where they are needed.

We know what Maggard said about CMD. The truth is that the coaching universe changed just before the hire. NIL, Transfer Portal,came out like a speeding locomotive. Adding to that CBN decision to transfer the entire Louisiana football structure to Florida.

CMD didn’t inherit the program he said yes to. He’ll never say that, but it’s still true. IMO he may have underestimated the NIL, and TP impact. Add to that key injuries to projected OL starters.

He may also be learning that there’s very few people who can have self discipline, especially at such a young age.

Truth.

For some context...

We are on the same page alot, but I disagree with number 4. Everything that I have read suggests he is more on the disciplinarian side. John Gordon is a very good friend of Coach Sweeney and he has some very good stories to tell in some of his books.

From everything I have heard he was a real hard @$$ SOB when he coached high school too. This 180 has many who have known him long term puzzled.

You heard wrong.

[Big Poppa]

You heard wrong.

Did he coach any of your family members in high school? I’ll take the people I know and trust word on that.

No he didn't. I do however know coaches that coached under him and some kids that played under him. I will also trust those guys.

[CajunVic]

He was a hard ass and hard headed as a high school coach. I’m not interested in other opinions because they would not only be just that, but they would also be wrong if different from this.

Could be he's grown up since coaching HS...matured, seasoned...life has a way to bring out your best as long as you give it a chance...maybe he gave it a chance..

He was always soft and has gotten softer. Nobody on the staff gets on players ass or in there face. The wrong message is being sent when you arent giving these players critical feedback.

He came on this site as a player and made one hard nosed looooooong post laying down the law on how fans should act.

And it worked we was the best fans in the world ... for 3 games.

We needed more coaching.
