Football practice

Great points. I would like to cite the famous Costco story about leadership considering raising the price of hot dogs and the founder telling the CEO, "I will kill you if you raise the price of hot dogs."

Tailgating should be our loss leader. I know there were posters on here saying we needed to make money somehow, but not at the expense of what we were building atmosphere-wise. We priced out people contributing to football gameday atmosphere and lost them completely with COVID/ESPN+.

This is a great point.

Everything we do in Acadiana is organic. If you create an affordable tailgate environment, people will show up. You can’t manufacture fun around here. It’s not our nature.

Yeah....he's doing pretty good for himself. Actually making 3x per year what his college coach was making not that long ago

. . . so much for football practice . . . you know, if you practice at 5 am, you are practicing better than if you practice at 7am . . .

I remember a story on here someone told about the coach’s show at Pete’s last year. Said maybe 10 or so Cajun fans were there and coach des didn’t even acknowledge them. He walked in did his interview and left without saying a word. Not like there were hundreds of people there. Would have been easy to walk up to the fans and tell them he appreciated them coming. Would have taken all of 5 seconds. Des is a hell of a person but he’s a terrible people person. Oh well he is who he is

Sounds like most OC's out there. Not much personal skills.

If CMD doesn't make it here as a HC, it will be because of this.

It will be because of W's and L's.

. . . about 5 posters here believe that W's and L's will predominantly depend upon where the players sleep during the summer, fall and spring practice and camp . . .

Never seen a D1 football program be so silent less than a month before practice starts. Zero excitement about ticket sales, zero talk about offense, zero about defense, projected starters at key positions, what the QB situation is and on and on. Media is basically crtickets. No enthusiasm whatsoever. Once again, great marketing.

Did the director of broadcasting remind him fans would be there?
