LGT Final: Louisiana 24, Troy 31

[Cajunrunner]

I like Dez, but at the end of this season, especially if we lose next weekend to ULM, there needs to be a conversation had with him.

A coaching search was not done because we thought he was the best way to maintain the culture. Well that hasn’t happened.

So what else does he have to offer? He won’t be fired after this season, be if we’re serious about athletics at UL, especially football, someone needs to start keeping a book of names as candidates for next winter.

Any AD worth his salt has a top candidate list for all sports.

Des will succeed after four years of learning on the job.

Perhaps 3.

And, if we beat ULM, finish 6-6, go to bowl and win? Then what?

Hey it’s the USL way. Just look at WSOC, VB, or WBB. How many NCAA appearances between the 3?

Bowls don’t matter. If he wins at ULM and a bowl, it changes nothing.

His challenge is not just his lack of experience and knowledge which may or may not make him a better Head Coach, the greatest deficit will be his inability to attract successful staff with winning program that in turn will attract the best G5 level talent to UL. I said it from hearing about his hire, this is going to be a spiral to the bottom. I know he’s a Ragin Cajun through and through, but the school did him a disservice by hiring him. I feel bad for him, but he should not continue being the head coach if UL cares about winning more than 5-6 games per year.

[Turbine]

A running game and this offense would have been unstoppable.

Cajun Fields was rusty in his first game out of the weight room but he has really shown his stuff the last two games.

Chandler has been, seeing the whole field.

Turbs- I’ve personally seen him in the weight room on Sundays after the previous 2 games . Just an observation

He’s played pretty well tbh

I have no problem with regular weight lifting.

ps Next week Cajun Fields will be lights out accurate.

Maggard said when he hired him that nothing was broken so that's why he got the job. Finishing in the bottom 1/4 of the sbc regardless of bowl win is broken.

Agreed.. obviously I want to win on Saturday and then win a bowl game for a winning record.. but being 5-6 going into the last week of the season again.. against this schedule? Inexcusable.

[RaginCajun77]

This team wins by running the football. In our wins this season, we averaged 240.2 yards rushing compared to 128.5 yards average rushing in our losses. We have nearly twice the rushing yards in our wins compared to losses. We had one of the best o-lines in this conference for a period of time, we need to get back there.

[RaginScotsman]

Burton going down vs. South Miss was an absolute game changer.

[ZoomZoom]

Second to last in the SBC West. USM has tie breaker over UL.
