Louisiana Hires Michael Desormeaux as Head Coach

It’s a new day in Lafayette.

Less than 24 hours removed from their first Sun Belt title, there is a new leader of the Ragin’ Cajun football program.

Louisiana announced that Michael Desormeaux, former Cajun QB and this year’s co-OC, has been hired as the program’s 27th head coach.

This past season, Louisiana finished third in the Sun Belt in points per game 27.5 and third in yardage per game with 405.9. Quarterback Levi Lewis threw for 2646 yards with 19 touchdowns and four interceptions this season under the direction of Desormeaux.

Desormeaux was a legendary QB at Louisiana, breaking record after record throughout his career from 2005-2008.
