Coach Desormeaux

[cajun4life]

. . . this is a smart and knowledgeable man . . . he embodies any reason which this board has . . . people should listen to what he and Dr. Fun have to say . . . The Bird . . .

I just understand how we operate. I think this staff is a 7-9 win staff. They haven’t proven to me to be a championship level staff.

Does that make them bad? No, just haven’t shown how to win the close games yet.

They may get there, but haven’t yet to this point.

Vegas has them at a 7-8 win staff when they put the total at 7.5 . . . when you are in line with Vegas, you have to be pretty close . . .

I wish some of y’all would quit overreacting. We aren’t canning Des, it’s not even a thought.

Defensively we got handled and had no answer. That is literally the first time that I’ve seen us completely unprepared. We didn’t have an answer for what they were doing. It cost us the game.

This staff needs to improve, if it doesn’t then the excitement that may still exist will be completely gone. Then in 4 more years we will have another coaching search. But until then, Des is the guy and will be the guy until his contract is up. We don’t fire coaches unless they have NCAA violations.

So just can it with the talk of firing the man. It won’t happen, regardless of someone has the money in hand for the buyout.

Calm down. It's a message board.

Calm down. It's a message board.

I’m not upset, it’s just silly to talk about firing him. Martin Hall doesn’t fire anyone.

Calm down. It's a message board.

. . . please take your meds and your own medicine, we want to keep you around . . .

Did Vegas have us as 12.5 win team under Napier?

. . . who has that long of a memory . . . but I doubt it . . . they are good but do miss it also . . . i don't see notices of Vegas casino's going broke or bankrupt very often . . .

With a quality in depth search there are good coaches out there cheaper than Desormeaux and his staff.

That is just a fact.

I say that feeling that Des and Co are the right people for now.

You need to factor in inflation.

[CajunVic]

. . . coaching salaries are already inflated way over any rate of inflation therefor inflation should play no role in any analysis related to coaching salaries . . .

Vegas had us beating ODU

[CajunNation]

All I say is if Des is our guy then please hire an offensive coordinator who calls his own plays so Des can coach the team and not have to worry about what play am I going to call next. That's one thing I'll give Deion no matter how big is his ego he hired an OC to call the plays so he can coach the the team.

But that was the main selling point for CMD. He would be both OC and HC. 2 for 1.

"Just because you do things the right way does not mean it's always going to work in your favor."

Excellent life advice. That was definitely something I had to learn coming of age.
