Coach Desormeaux

Anyone wonder what stAte fans are thinking.......outscored 110-3 after 2 games. Baldwin Era bad.

They're probably thinking they can't wait to play us.

Butch gets canned the week before they play us. The interim coach inspires the red wolves and they win by 7 after a furious Cajuns comeback ultimately falls short on a failed forth down conversion.

I never would have hired him, but it does no good to focus on that now.

Someone mentioned starting over. Worst case scenario we will do that in a couple years.

On the bright side, we will have a new stadium to go along with it.

As long as we don’t fall to toothpick level, it won’t be hard to sell this program if we have to later.

The only way that happens is if we quit supporting the program.

Don’t freakin quit. We’re better than that.

Thank You!!! Nice to see someone gets it.

It's not the fans fault. Game atmosphere, facilities, schedules, is 100% the Admin, team performance is the Coaching staff, specifically the Head Coach. When all of those things are bad, you get poor fan support.

Look I like Mike, but like is not enough. I agree that we screwed the pooch with this hire. Why are we shocked? Cheap hire, cheap results. Too expensive to do a national search.

I agree with your assessment of the program. I like Mike also, but we screwed the pooch with this hire. I thought for sure Lamar would be the scapegoat and fired this morning, but he saved our rear ends last week. I for one will not stop buying tickets or my tailgating spot but that doesn't mean I will give up my Saturdays to watch this debacle. I still have three road trips on my schedule UAB, SoAl and Ark State lord I hope those trips are worth it for me. I guess I'm ok with making a change if that's the route we want to go. I mean we can't slip any further, can we? One last thing the hardest part of this team is the coaching staff not making adjustments like using the portal or in-game adjustments almost like we don't have a clue.

Y’all don’t give up. UL football needs us more than ever to weather this storm. Des is our coach like it or not for at least the next 2 years. Let’s hope he turns the corner, but it is clear he was not qualified to be a HC. Good assistant, good person, Cajun thru and thru but my only hope is that he turns the corner and begins to win these close games because there will be many more close games coming up.

It’s not the people on RP you have to worry about giving up.

If you have a team that finishes 13-1 and no one shows up, the admin should start asking what it is doing wrong instead of blaming the fans/community.

Almost as if it’s intentional. Having to consistently promote and put on a good event for 25k-35k people is too much damn work. 12k-17k is perfectly comfortable for the group responsible.

There's a huge bit of truth in that statement...UL is not going to spend the resources to host 25k+ on a regular basis...

You’ve been around the complex. You know the answer.
