This Staff

[Crawfish]

When Dez was hired, I was disappointed. The reason was that I did not think he was ready to take the reins. I felt that it was unfair to him and the program to be tossed into the fire before he was ready. I had hoped he would succeed, but I had serious doubt. It was not because I thought he was not capably; it was because I felt he needed some more experience. I had hoped he would have an opportunity to get it. Even if he could have been a coordinator or an FCS coach for a while, it would have been helpful.

My feelings have not changed. He will probably get at least another year or two to right the ship though. It is a bad situation for the staff, the program and the fans. He was not set up to win.

I'm also worried about baseball. They have a beautiful stadium and just can't get it one since Tony Passed away. (Degg's 3-year record is takes us back to a level where the Cajuns were playing in the 1980's)

This is simply not the case about baseball. The program has steadily improved over the years since Deggs has arrived.

Exactly how I feel about both football and basketball.

Thank God we have good softball and Water Ski teams!

Don’t be retarded, Deggs has coached here for 4 years and 1.5 were affected by Covid. He has gone to back to back regionals. He’s won a game each time he’s been there.

The real issue is WHAT WAS THE JUSTIFICATION TO GIVE HIM A 5-YEAR, $3.8 MILLION CONTRACT? His base is $755,000/year even if they win zero games. He had less actual coaching experience than most high school coaches in our state. His salary should have been $100K/year at the most.

Because if they paid him what he's worth he would be making less than many on the $2mil "support staff"

While he learns on the job, Desormeaux won't recieve his head coaching degree for two or three more years.

He will continue to get his Next In Line payments (NIL payments) till he graduates.

ps Not every college graduate is employable. Time will tell.

Lots to learn in a short amount of time.

Is he on the Beamer model?

Deggs brought us to back to back regionals for the first time in 7 years. He's doing fine.

Good thing des commands a locker room. You with me??

And good thing he didn't go to a HS that recruits

Booyah!

If we don't have a new head coach next season, I will be shocked. You cannot accept mediocrity when you have a program that was Top 25 and conference champions before the current staff came in.

Dez has a life time contract here.

As long as he makes one of the 87 bowls , that is the new standard here.
