_ This thread was started in 2005, when Coach Broussard left McNeese and headed to SFA.

You "ephalants" have pretty dang good memories to go back and resurrect this 3 year old thread.

He is now headed to UL! _

Actually, this thread was started by Zee and board moderators merged it with an older thread creating the confusion. I'm not sure why it was done?

The UL football program plans to stay within the Ragin' Cajun family for its next assistant coach. Gerald Broussard, a Lafayette native and former UL player and coach, has been pegged to become the new defensive line coach for the Ragin' Cajuns. He would replace Shawn Quinn, who resigned Monday after six years with the program to explore other opportunities. In December, Broussard ended a three-year stint as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Stephen F. Austin, an NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision School in Nacogdoches, Texas. Broussard, an offensive lineman at UL from 1980-83 and a 1984 graduate of the university, spent 14 seasons as a coach for the Cajuns before making coaching stops at West Alabama, Tennessee-Martin and Scottsdale C.C. and McNeese State.

He relates VERY well with his players, and motivates them to dig deep within themselves to put forth their best effort on every snap. G was my son's position coach the last time he was here, and I can tell you that I am extremely glad to have such a fine man and coach back on staff at UL.

I'll answer for Z. Gerald is a competitor. Great motivator and the his position players usually love him and will bust their butts for him. Also, he is a very good recruiter.

Besides that, he is just a good guy.

LOL. Should have read your post before I made mine above. Essentially said the same thing.

Gerald knows how to win. Having been an integral part of the Brian Mitchell/Jake Delhomme years and helping coach McNeese to the 1AA Championship game proves that. He is has recruiting skills locally that are immeasurable. If you have ever been around him any length of time, you know he has that skill that allows an adult to reach a kid and get the best out of him/her. As far as coaching a new position goes?? If you are a good coach, you can coach any position.

_ I hope you're right. My heart is aching right now. We had become very close to Coach Quinn over these last few years. He will truly be missed. _

Momma, you'll LOVE Gerald, and so will Kyle.

_ Coach Gerald Broussard is not only a GREAT MAN, but a very good coach and that is just the tip of the iceberg. Coach G is a dynamic person, super recruiter, and a phenom on the radio!!! I can not wait to see the fire he lights under the D-Line and the level he raises recruiting to. He and Coach Troy W are alot alike.

Great to see you back Coach G!
Best of luck Coach Quinn!

I happen to check McNeese's board about this hire and one person stated that if Bustle was smart, he just picked up a heck of a recruiter for this area, if he'd let him.
