Coach Desormeaux

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.

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.

Then why is he still here? Surely someone else would want to hire him?

He wanted the Missouri job and thought he had it in the bag. They gave it to the lady and he’s been all boo-day ever since.

You don't have to like what I was told by a few different folks. It is what it is. You are crazy is you don't think folks from UL's upper tier leaks information. It happens all the time. RARELY can ANYONE keep ANYTHING confidential ANYMORE. Maggard is on cruise control pal regardless of what you or others think. For the record my bubble NEVER releases confidential information outside of our bubble. And no we aren't looking to add new members to the bubble.

This guy here….

I prefer a maggard on cruise control than a maggard beholden to S-E-C masters trying to get a spot back with them

How is it the fault of the University when people who graduate from this University would rather go to Baton Rouge for any sport and not come here. And when questioned they bad mouth the school they have a degree from. I do not have a degree I am just a Cajun fan because they are the home team.

I would have thought Helton would make more. Although if he has capital gains from Los Angeles property by moving to Georgia he is a relative king.

[R1Letterman]

Now if you want to talk cheap.

In other words we pay more for no experience than others in our peer group pay for experience. Makes you wonder.... could there be other supplemental monies from other sources?

. . . the market value for a hire like Des was what we had to spend . . . he is being paid about what he should command out in the market for a like position . . . it’s not cheap and not over paid . . . for Louisiana and for all the multiple reasons already posted time and time again by me and other supporters of Des, he was by far the best hire for Louisiana HFC last year . . . a search would have been foolish as it would not have revealed a different choice and thus time and unnecessary expense . . . it’s time to live with it and support the HFC for Louisiana . . .
