Co-Offensive Coordinator: Tim Leger

[KajunKrazy]

Stay tuned Buds. The word around the camp fire is Cajun fans will be happy.

Who’s fire are you sitting around? You and Doc Maggard just hanging out this holiday season? I have an idea of a couple of offensive targets and you could be correct. Still curious as to OC, WR, the rest of the defense and where is that strong Nola recruiting presence will come from.

Are there plans to drop the "Co-" label or is Desormeaux planning on making another "Offensive Coordinator" hire?

Not sitting around the fire with those guys. Just have some information from a good internal source who has never let me down. You are actually correct these guys are targets. Hope everything comes thru. I am thinking Tim will coach WR?

What you predicting OC? Maybe Leger \ Viator Co?

Viator will remain on as a paid analyst. He's not interested in recruiting at this stage of his career. Leger will probably be the OC, wearing headphones with Desormeaux.

Tim will still be the receivers coach, Des will coach the QB's. He will bring in a TE and RB coach on the offensive side.

Honest question. I am especially interested in hearing from those who have played competitively, especially at the collegiate level. Is there really enough to teach a tight end to have a dedicated coach? Speaking from total ignorance here, but it seems like the TE could join the offensive line for blocking coaching and the wide receivers for the passing game. Obviously not, just wondering why....

It’s a valid question, but now with staffs so large, it wouldn’t make sense not to have one. I mean we have 2 ol coaches

That’s what they do at the high school level. You just don’t have the time in individual periods in college to split them up between line and receivers. Probably one of the most unique positions on the field. You got to block like a lineman and catch like a receiver if you do it right. That’s why so few do both well. Having said that TE coaches are kinda bottom of the pecking order position wise which is why many have other duties. Over the hud and bustle years our TE coach were often also recruiting coordinator.

Tim current duties will not change from what he is currently doing.
