Coach Desormeaux

[CajunVic]

BI Moody was one of the last from that era after transfering from Auburn.

Not many left.

. . . looking at Mr Moody’s accomplishments and where his name is prominently displayed at Louisiana, I have a feeling that there is a higher probability that Mr, Moody was more that likely working towards a vision to bring us to R1 status than going to a bowl game even in 1944 . . . just sayin . . .

Makes you wonder if he was illegally recruited to that high school.....

Des wasn’t recruited to the Red School. It really was the Wild West thought back then. My dad was approached by Red School people to recruit my brother. I was actually being recruited by NISH in middle school. Obviously we stayed with the good people. The biggest recruiters right now are at Westgate. Won’t say his name but he runs an AAU team and helps with a pee wee football organization.

My peeps…I grew up off the Loreauville Road on the Teche.

You grew up in God’s country! Nothing like living on the Teche. My parents built on the bayou after we all graduated. I won’t be in the bayou but we’re about to close on a property near the park that’s a pecan grove. My family’s been on the Teche since 1789 and less than a handful have left the area.

Billy had way more experience than Mike, not even close. So we are following the Nichols -FCS- blue print are we? I will always support UL( have been for over 50 years) and Mike, but as many said, I still think
it was the wrong hire, would not been hired at any other FBS school.

I’m probably in the minority but I don’t care what other schools WOULDN’T have hired MD as their coach. I only care that we hire the right guy for THIS program. And the more I see and hear from CMD the more I believe we hired the right guy.
Geaux Cajuns!

I think the right guy was hired.

He has a lot of potential if given the right tools.

. . . trust me, you are not in the minority . . . you may be in the minority of those who post here, but you know complaintants are usually the loudest . . . they want more than their fair share of the cheese . . .

Situational not capability.

We know Hud's current location doesn't define his, ability, and frankly I think Desormeaux is much more qualified than being a high school coach.

Consider what Hud did with our fan base while here. 50,000 plus for our first bowl game. He got students, Lafayette and Acadiana excited about UL football. Not likely to happen, but would love to see him move back here and head up RCAF. With the new stadium going up next year and his marketing, things could explode over here.

[CajunMarineBBK]

True. Most of the fan base is old, bald, and gray.

Hey I resemble that remark.

[CajunVic]

. . . that was an anomaly of factors that may never happen again in a lifetime . . . it was not a standard then and probably will never be a standard in the future . . . but we can dream . . .

Hey I resemble that remark.

. . . many of us do . . .

The majority who post here support Desormeaux. They just don't post on the topic.

I saw a virtual wall poster yesterday, that has nothing to do with expressing an opinion but everthing to do with harping on a topic.

It said:

"My mom once told me
Once you are matured,
you will realize that
SILENCE is more powerful
than proving your point."

. . . other than for the owner of a sports message board in which case silence would make him go broke . . .
