LAFAYETTE – Vice President for Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Bryan Maggard has named Michael Desormeaux as the program's 27th head coach, it was announced on Sunday afternoon.
A record-setting quarterback for Louisiana from 2005-08, Desormeaux has been on the Ragin' Cajuns' staff for the last six seasons and served as the Co-Offensive Coordinator during the 2021 campaign when the team won its fourth consecutive Sun Belt West Division title and won its first outright Sun Belt Championship in program history.
Desormeaux served as the interim head coach for the program in 2017 prior to the arrival of former head coach Billy Napier and was the only member of the coaching staff retained by Napier.
