In 1986, I first stepped onto the campus of the University of Southwestern Louisiana for a football game against Oklahoma State. Even then, I knew this university stood for something special — hard work, pride, loyalty, family and THE cU(S)Lture
What I could never have imagined at that time was the incredible journey ahead as a student athlete, coach, and administrator.
Over the past 30 years, I have had the privilege of working with nearly 4,000 student-athletes, 355 Ragin Cajun Football games on the sideline and coaches' box, 143 coaches, 6 head coaches, 4 athletic directors, 3 university presidents, and countless support staff members who make this operation run every day. With very few exceptions, all of these individuals shared one thing in common: a deep love for this university and everything it represents. Serving this university and this football program has been one of the greatest honors of my life.
This place has given me lifelong friendships, unforgettable memories, and a purpose far greater than myself. I have always believed in Dr. Authement’s “Walk of Honor” philosophy — that each of us leaves a part of ourselves behind to help strengthen the university for future generations. I hope I’ve done that during my time here.
After much reflection, regarding recent conclusions and developments within the university administration I have made the decision to retire from the University of Louisiana effective June 30, 2026. Until then, I remain fully committed to our players, our staff, and this program that means so much to all of us.
Thank you to every player, coach, colleague, donor, alumnus, and fan who has been part of this journey. Your support, trust, and friendship have meant more than words can express. I ask that you take this time especially to support your Ragin Cajun Football program they need you now more than ever. There are very few men like your head football coach... Coach Des is a great coach and a better man and deserves your unwavering support in whatever form that takes. Please get on board!
I will always be proud to call myself a Ragin’ Cajun.
