Reasons for 2023 Football Optimism

[JMV JustMyView]

Did you want Mike to not accept the job? Not interview for it? Don’t you think your anger is misguided? Personally I think it’s a shame that he is actually getting less support around here than an outsider would from some of the fan base. The administration has made game day a complete ___ show for a long time and it has nothing to do with Mike. App state has built their tradition with their guys, hiring former players and from within, it can work

Most of the time the good ole boy system doesn't work.

Worked with Robe , Yvette and the Lotiefs and I wouldn’t consider any of them or Mike part of the “good old boy” crowd.

It did in fact work then, but it will no longer work.

He should not have qualified much less given an interviewed for the job. Most of the App guys have Years of coordinating exp before taking over. They don't promote their TE coach.

I understand the move he is the second lowest paid HC in the FBS.

I’m not sure in this business we are quite at the “I’m not even willing to interview”
Stage, especially guys in house, and the one tasked with coaching the bowl game. Mike will either figure it out or he won’t, he isn’t going anywhere. All this constant shting on him doesn’t help, that I can promise you. It doesn’t help recruiting, it doesn’t help attendance and doesn’t help the program. If you don’t think he should have been the guy or isnt the guy, it’s certainly your choice but everybody loved mike before he got the job, he is that same guy. When he turns it around, and I do believe he will next year, nobody will care how he got here.

Just for the record are you saying that guys decide to become a Cajun or not based off of this board? Are you saying fans decide to attend a game or not based off of this board? Most of the complaining about anything UL is said on this board.

Desormeaux was the perfect hire.

Case closed.

Where the administration dropped the ball was in not doing a national search.

They exhibit almost zero knowledge on how to promote a program and build interest.

The direct to hire situation with Desormeaux cost this program millions.
