Michael Desormeaux Press Conference - Aug. 28, 2023

[CajunEXPRESS]

He mentioned that his wife and kids heard criticism from fans last year in an interview I heard recently. He knows that is part of the gig and his wife knew that when she said I DO. Still, that does not make it easy to accept. When he says he remembers everything that includes negativity from supporters. Way to address that is to prove those people wrong. He and team know that.

How do you call yourself a supporter if you voice a cynical opinion on the current coach. Support the program but not the coach. Hard to reconcile but I have had to do it with Bob. But he’s had a very long career here with mediocre success. CMD didn’t inherit the team, and program he agreed to coach. None of it his doing.

The program CMD inherited was better than the one that Bustle, Hud and Napier found when they got here. Probably the best shape of any new coach in the history of our school.

And he promptly went out and lost the SBC West. Hope he doesn't forget THAT.

He also mentioned the thing that was the hardest was what his kids would hear.

The FANS will, I also have optimism in them!

They definitely need the support. If game day operations improve then the crowds should.
