This is interesting because there were rumors that Kendall Briles was eyeing this job a little bit. So now he is still available if Kelly were to consider him for OC

Be interested to see if Napier takes Toney as his DC or if he hires this dream team of big names UF fans are day dreaming on.

He already took Toney with him. Also took Jabbar Juluke to Florida.

I'm sure this was players pressuring the administration move.

I would have brought Rob Sale home. This seems like the easy, giving into the players, Larry Coker-like move

This is what happens when you don't have fan support. I honestly can't blame ULL for promoting a shitty former QB.

12-1 and the stadium is half empty for a conference championship game.

Very risky, but the rumor was that this was who Napier suggested

Never put a BAW in charge. UL, learn from our mistakes with Ed

Saban suggested Houston Nutt when he left. Sometimes it’s better to do an actual search.

Desormeaux is actually really smart and not a scumbag. I just don't think he has enough experience to put together a staff. I guess he's just gonna keep most the same staff together.

I don’t doubt he could be a good HC… I’m very worried about the staff since Toney is gone.

Toney probably to Florida as secondary coach. I don't know if there's anyone on staff who can take that spot or if they have to go off staff. Interested to see how he fills it out. He'll probably need to go get an OC as well because he's never actually called plays.

I really want this hire to work out. Mike Desormeaux is as beloved in the community as possible.

South Alabama Jaguars about to take over the Sun Belt. Womack is now the best coach in the conference. He just needs players.

The only negatives I see:

Not a ton of connections on his own and not having the gravitas to make demands to our AD office for football needs like Billy was able to do.

He’s a great leader, player’s coach, offensive mind, and apparently recruiter.
