Coach Desormeaux

[mxpxfr690]

People may not like it, but you're not wrong. The attendance during the Napier years was embarrassingly low for the quality product he put on the field. The fanbase cant complain about the admin cutting corners when the fanbase cut corners. I promise you that if we had the number of fans like we had during hud while Napier was coach, we'd be talking about another elite level coach here. Thats how cold hard facts work.

That said, Des isnt dead yet, but he had better figure this ____ out. He knows as well as we all do, he's got one shot at this, and if he screws up, there's no other job just chomping at the bit to take a cajun reject, See literally every other coach we had in the history of our program.

Are you secretly saying bring back Hud lol!?!?!

Well I am trying to be realistic. At what point would you let Des go? I say even if we go 1-11 this year we have to keep him for one more year, but next year it would have to 8-4 in order for him to retain his position. So minimum 3 years at 8-4 on his 3rd year.

Some of you need a few hits of pineapple express and relax. I credit ODU for IDing a weakness....Our D calling scheme was exposed. Relay to field was clearly too slow for a legit fast pace offense.


Last year Coach Morgan rarely made the same mistake twice. Needs to relay to one have him bark calls.....in the mean time have front 4 with eyes forward and ready to attack at all times. Cant delay readiness in the trenches....in return giving our secondary a much better chance to execute. Getting Narcisse and Mason into rotation in DL will be huge. It was frustrating to see every linemen standing and looking at sideline while ODU was already snapping the ball. Not sure of exact number we werent ready at snap.....20ish times?

After seeing our D not ready at snap numerous times.....A stat that's hard to believe. Their longest run was 15 yards.

Our D eventually adjusted (some) and forced 2 2nd half punts.....but......it was too late.

Maggard was told who to hire by Martin Hall, can't let football get to big for their britches.

This. The ghost of fossil has been reincarnated in T Joe. T JOE supported football untill his politics required investment elsewhere. Let's pray our next governor pushes and better President of our University.

Agree. Adjustments to the defensive calls and substitutions need to be made.

ODU’s offensive coordinator had the number 1 scoring and yards offense in fcs last year. So that gimmicky fast pace offense might burn a lot of teams. Idk. On the bright side, no one on our schedule has looked great.
UAB lost Georgia so
Buffalo lost fordham
Minnesota struggled with emu
Tx st lost to utsa

. . . we lost a well fought (but at times poorly executed ) football game on the road against a conference opponent . . . believe it or not, the world is not going to end . . . Louisiana wakes up this morning as a well greased R1 institution with the president who brought us there . . . football will regroup and be ready on Saturday . . . the part of the fan base who post here, maybe not . . . oh well . . . off to church . . .

Realistically Des seat isn't warm.

[MetryCajun]

Lamar Morgan is the person who should be getting roasted today. If you are not lined up correctly IN THE SECOND HALF that is on the defensive coaches. I would expect teams to cont to play uptempo on us. Complete embarrassment for the defensive players and coaches.

[UL_Cajuns]

Its still hard to believe we lost that game last night, but then again the play calling was mind boggling at the end. Defense was terrible.
Des said at the beginning of the year that we need to win close games this year unlike last year. Well Epic fail number 1 close game.
The only good thing is, the season is young. Lots of football to be played.
