The Baton Rouge Zydeco have made a change at the end of the bench, elevating MJ Graham -- a player on the team -- to the top coaching position.

A franchise spokesperson told WBRZ News 2 that the Zydeco have elevated Graham to "interim head coach" as part of a leadership change and that more information would be forthcoming.

The team announced Matt Hamilton as its first head coach over the summer, then, in October, said Paul Maclean and Matthew Fornari would serve as co-head coaches.

It was not immediately clear if Maclean or Fornari remained with the team in some capacity.

The change comes 12 games into the inaugural season for the franchise. It's been a slow start; Graham takes over a team that has won just 2 of those first dozen matches.

lifelong zydeco fan here. the change was necessary. needed some new life on the bench to get the guys going. Having a Jackie Moon type player/coach is a gamechanger for the organization.

Read this as McLaren or Ferrari and thought we had an F1 thread on our hands.

I want to try and make a game. Nice uniforms, but seems to be a very low budget operation. The only advertising they seem to be doing is on social media.

The Kingfish and the other Louisiana teams at least rode the momentum of the Ice Gators phenomenon for a couple seasons. I do not envy the Zydeco trying to make a profit in this economy with the Louisiana hockey boom 25 years in the past and directly competing with LSU football, women’s basketball, and baseball for the entertainment dollar.

I feel sorry for the competition. They don’t know what’s comin.

It’s not their fault.
