Podcast: Coach Michael Desormeaux (10-24-22)

[RECORDedit]

Louisiana Ragin' Cajun head coach Michael Desormeaux joined Scott to breakdown the team's win over Arkansas State, Ben Wooldridge's play, the status of Chandler Fields, the future outlook at QB, the defense not allowing a single third down conversion, and much more.

Ruh Roh! Did I hear Mike say that there are QBs that are game managers & QBs that can go out & win the game for you? Did he say that it takes more than just game managers to win today? Did He say that Ben is a guy that doesn't just manage the game, but can go out & win the game for you? MMmmm? Wonder where I read that before? Did I not also hear him say that Ben & he were in complete sync on that 4th & 6th? IOW, Ben is personifying on the field what Mike envisions as a coach.

I'm glad we're sticking with one QB moving forward, and glad to have Ben. But I feel for Chandler. In a previous presser, CMD mentioned how Chandler was of that gunslinger mold and they had to coach the gunslinger out of him (similar to how CBN made LL1 be more conservative and extra conscious of not turning the ball over). I feel like it's possible CF was coached to play safe when we needed that gunslinger mentality early in the season when running the ball and great o-line play were in short supply.

C'est la vie. Again, I agree we need to roll with BW going forward, and the above is a complete hindsight 20/20 reflection. Just gotta feel for CF.
