Fire Desormeaux

[Geaux4it]

Guys, this is a moot point.

Just to be perfectly clear, with our current financial situation, we will not make any decision that increases our budget. The new CFO was brought in by the UL System Board to balance the budget and that’s what he is doing. Spending on campus is at a virtual standstill. More layoffs are coming soon. This will be the status quo for at least the next 2 years. The thought that this CFO would approve a buyout right now is laughable.

There will be no buyout unless boosters are willing to pay 100% of the money for it AND the increased funding needed to hire the next coach and his staff.

Let me sulk OK? We've been around long enough to know what should happen won't happen.

Rebel, the RPCA would prefer to scream play calling from the top of their lungs than admit the reality of what has been posted by myself, you and BWK ever since the decision was made by Louisiana to hire Des. Besides, when Napier left, I believe the money available to retain him was more like $2mm and it was only there for one year . . . And never forget, hind sight is 20;20, we now have already seen what Napier can do with all the money in the world but no Levi Lewis - folks, probably the least responsible factor for Louisiana finding itself where it is today in football is the fact that Des is our head coach - you heard it here first and you heard it here last . ..

$2 million to retain is correct.

The truth gets in the way of fantasies often.

Des could have all the NIL money he wants but the fact is that chooses to use the funds to “retain and develop” what we have instead of hitting the portal. He doesn’t do a good job at either.

In Schrute bucks?

Fire him. There is no issue with the buyout. I can promise you that.

The crowds will continue to decrease with each loss.

Promote Desormeaux to Head of Football Operations.

Then fill the void.

Surely OLOL can fund his buyout? He has lost all support ! Hire back Billy now!

Read through all 5 pages and still waiting to hear which of you high rollers are going to bank roll the buyout, new coach, and NIL it takes to win now.

Thank you ! You see that’s the issue. The large majority of the “experts” on this forum aren’t even season tickets holders nor do they ever scratch a check for anything regarding athletics at this university so you make a valid point. Always easier to just to _____ about things.
