Coach Desormeaux

[JamesTheJeweler]

How is this STILL not a thing?

1 word....CONTROL

This deserved its own thread. For those that keep proclaiming Des was a budget hire.

Ga So Hired Clay Helton the same year as Des. He is in his 2nd season. According to an Advertiser article written Dec 7, 2021 Des will make 775k annually. Clay Helton former head coach in the pac 12 at USC, will make 700k his first year and then will increases to an 800k average throughout his contract, according to the link below.

Des’ contract is right in line with a fellow sunbelt member and one could argue a coach with a tad bit more experience.

To say Des was just a way to get off cheap is idiotic, because he is making what any first year coach would make at Louisiana and right at the average in new hires in the Belt.

Now glad we put that one to bed.

Please stop with the facts, that is not what we do here.

We have let him down, big time.

That is complete bull____. The admin is the ones who have let the fans down. It’s their job to create excitement and they have failed at every level on this. Winning does not solve all problems, especially when you have large crowds show up and have a miserable experience. The fans/community are not the problem.

Bingo

I disagree this city has never really supported this University. You might get a few for a game every now and then but overall the people of Lafayette could care less about athletics at UL. That is how I have seen it the past 45 years of living in this area.

[Esqueleto]

Bingo!

This does not imply that he's on cruise control or is being complacent as you suggest. If anything, he's being hamstrung and upset about the lack of support from administration and the fans.

And it has always been the admins fault.

The athletic department has never been marketed correctly. They expect people to just show up and that’s not how it works.
