My recommendation for Coach Desormeaux

[CajunVic]

I think you are the only one on this site that doesn't believe that not having players in the dorms during camp has a direct correlation to results on the field.

Secondly the biggest reason Des was hired was to retain the "cULture" and keep doing what Billy built, but Des immediately changed things thinking he knew better. Also i got news for you, Des having easier camps directly led to his terrible record in 1 score games

. . . it is pretty magnanimous of you to speak for everyone on this site but me . . . and of course four HFC . . . No thanks . . .

. . . as for your second paragraph, it’s only an opinion of one . . . an armchair internet board coach . . . and it should be granted that amount of latitude and significance . . .

I recall the player consternation when HUD arrived and started making the team run stadiums until they collapsed. He said something then similar to
My old Class 1A (small school) coach in Northern Cal told us every year. “We might play a more talented team, BUT they won’t beat us in the 4th Qtr because the team is out of shape…”
Having endurance is what you need in 1 possession games!

. . . if they were not there participating in the workouts how do they know exactly what happened . . .

You don’t have to be at practice to know what the structure of camp is supposed to look like. Again Nick Saban never been to Des’ practice but he knows how to build a winning camp structure and atmosphere. 2 years in Des has proven his structure gets results of lack of attention to detail and finish which is the difference in all those games where he is “just one or 2 plays away”.
