5 burning questions Louisiana football, coach Michael Desormeaux must answer before 2023

[zephyr]

I don’t think anyone ever suggested CF is of the talent level of Herring and Chriss. If they did they are poor evaluator of talent.

I merely suggested Munoz because he is the best currently on staff for that position. For CMD to go out and hire a OC with proven OC experience he would have to find someone willing to come here and work for him that has a better resume than his boss does. That probably won’t happen.

First off, people were suggesting as late as early last year that Fields was the more talented QB than he and LL and he should have been playing. Second, you can't lump Herring into this conversation..AT ALL. He's likely not going to see the field at QB for the cajuns. He was a run first QB in HS and struggled to really do anything in the pass game. I was actually surprised we offered him.

I can tell you this about Herring. Of all the QBs on the roster last year Herring was the one that Billy was most excited about for the future here. He said as much to someone I know very well in a one on one private conversation. That was last year when there was no Zeon Chriss here. So maybe Billy is poor judge of talent? I don't know?

But you are probably right he may never play here because I would not be surprised to see him in the portal.

According to your logic, Munoz would fit that description as he's been a coach longer than Des and has been an OC more than Des. I don't think going out and hiring a proven coordinator would be so difficult, especially since we were supposed to retain the coaches salary pool we had with Napier. Again, we've actually got a body of work to go by from Munoz being coordinator and it wasn't pretty. Rip the band aid off and go elsewhere for that.

Right. And you don’t think Munoz would be here if Des wasn’t his former player that he has an existing relationship do you? If Des was just a dude that Jorge had no previous relationship with I can assure you he wouldn't be working for him.

He may not be working for anybody

I was addressing his previous statement that Chriss and Herring are the two most talented QB's on the roster. Everybody coming out of HS has talent and we tend to overanalyze. However, without seeing Herring play a down in college, I'm not sure how you claim he's more talented than either CF or BW. In fact, I saw Herring play twice his senior year and he was a very raw thrower. He could run well and was hard to bring down but being a pure college QB is more than that. Maybe Billy liked what he thought he could work with in the long haul but saying that Herring is more talented than older QB's on the roster right now is a stretch to say the least.

Don't believe me ask anyone who is at practice everyday that will be honest and won't give you coaches speak. I hear it all the time coming from with in as to who are the most talented in that bunch.

I saw Hunter also in high school and he was a runner only. The guy couldn't throw anything with accuracy.

Guess Hunter has no arm talent? Wonder why he had offers to pitch in college?

Pitching ain’t throwing a football. But you know that.

Lots of HS qbs have to work on their throwing mechanics to improve velocity and accuracy. HH is a 6'5 running threat with what must be a strong enough arm to receive offers to pitch in college. I can see why CBN had high hopes for him. When I asked why we had so many qbs on the roster before the 2021 season, he said portal and NIL will change everything. He was also very high on Cam Waites, who followed him to Florida.

I hope we can keep him long enough to see his potential, whatever that may be. Also, I was told ZC is the most talented but HH will be in the mix. His injury set his development back this year.
