Coach Desormeaux

[Cajunrunner]

Don’t you guys realize, all that was built on recruitment was destroyed by NIL monies and “the easy to leave” transfer portal. The NCAA is no longer an amateur sporting event but SEMI-PRO BALL. Yes we are starting over, with new , young talent. I WANT Coach DEZ to success

Are we the only G5 program having to deal with the NIL and no sit transfer combo?

[no1cajunfan]

Poor game day experience, poor facilities and poor opponent. Thats why fans didnt show up under Napier. Who came to Cajun Field while Napier was here that got anyone excited?

This applies to every team not just UL.

[Esqueleto]

We hired a head coach who no other FBS program would have even considered for a coordinator job. He was not qualified. It’s not to say that he won’t grow in to it, but all growing pains will be on UL’s dime.

This is the painful truth. I hope he's eventually successful, but he's definitely in over his head right now.

Mississippi State, App State, Troy, GA Southern, stAte, and Coastal doesn't excite you?
I guess you expect Georgia and USC to roll into town. When less than 10k shows up for an important conference game that isn't on the administration, that's on the fans.

Adapt or die.

Yes. Even better we had AC and no chance of rain in September.

It’s the administration’s job to put butts in the seats through marketing, making the right hires, bringing in quality opponents, and creating a gameday environment people want to enjoy. If conference opponents are the only ones they can hang their hat on getting in to Cajun Field, that isn’t saying much. Our gameday issues and lack of marketing prowess are well documented. After back to back Top 25 seasons, I think a significant piece of the fanbase was expecting more than an unqualified, maybe pan out one day hire. I was hoping Troy would be a rock bottom/wake up call day for the administration. From what I’ve seen since then, I’m not too confident. They seem to be more entrenched than ever in the narrative that they are doing all they can,
and the community is just failing them. Like most things the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. We are failing this community every bit as much as they are failing us.

I KNOW that, dude. It was our home game in a world class facility and were outnumbered 4/1 easily. It was more than embarrassing.

Well at least they have Buffalo coming to Cajun Field. That should get folks excited.

Losing Trey Amos and Kam P were big factors in my view. We may not have financial resources to compete like we did in Napier years. World has changed greatly in 2 years. Those finances are not necessarily community support. I am talking about individuals who can help with NIL. On the field, it will be interesting to see if defensive coaches can adjust to fast pace kscheme ODU used last night. Of course opponents will incorporate some of that into their plans.
