Coach Of The Year! Congratulations Mike

[Cajunrunner]

Way to geaux Coach Des! Absolutely stoked for him and the staff. I know some people were iffy on a "one of us" hire, but how much better does it feel that he got CotY?

I’ll gladly be wrong and watch our team win 10 games than be “proven” right in my skepticism as we stumble through a 10 loss season.

How does a defensive player, who doesn’t also make significant contributions on offense or special teams of note, win League MVP but not also Defensive Player of the Year?

He nets half...the other half goes to Uncle Sam, so its a wash...

And how do none of our 3 running backs even make 3rd team?

That's what happens when you split the carries like it was done. Great for the team but not individual statistics

I'd say the same for Legendre being on 3rd team.... I'd take him over the first team guys

Wasn’t really trying to throw shade at skeptics, just saying how much better it feels that a homegrown product is excelling.
