Desormeaux Extended

[Cajun Bullet]

He was extended 3 years and now has 5

That is it, had two years remaining and the extension of his contract was for three years for a total of five years.

Well yeah you could let him try to recruit HS kids and the portal as a lame duck coach. Zero chance he succeeds in that situation. You need your admin to commit to your coach so your roster will too. All it means is he gets paid if let go. That’s college sports these days.

If that were the case you would not see coaches with 3 or more years left losing players to the portal.

Nowhere has this been shown to be the case. Im not talking about when a coach actually leaves. All bets are off.

Players just want to play, #1 consideration.

After they are playing "where can I play for money?" becomes the new #1 consideration.

Considering how long a coach is going to be there is not at the top of the heap.

It's a low return, high obligation ROI for a university, which results in 15-year tenures for below average coaches. Why? They never feel pressure to perform.

I do think Desormeaux is self motivated.

Time only matters to a few high school recruits. It’s the $$$ that matter once they hit campus. After watching FB after #3 hit the portal, education and playing close to home weren’t high on his family’s radar.

All about the money that will be gone in 6 months.

If players 'just want to play' then why would you opt of out playing bowls?

After they are already playing, "where can I play for money?" becomes the new #1 consideration.

I think sitting out does them no favors, but that is not the guidence they are given.

I see it as low self confidence (and handler confidence) in that they don't want to damage their existing playability credibility.

Have a question for everyone how much was the payout for the New Mexico bowl?

That’s why scholarships are year to year.

The hard part is deciding who stays on scholarship and who is shown the door to make room for "better" players that fit the need.

I bet it is and people should remember this happens to kids all the time. This loyalty deal or lack there of is a two way street. Both sides are loyal until someone better comes along.

How much did Desormeaux make this year?
