Louisiana agreed to terms on a new five-year deal with Ragin' Cajuns football coach Michael Desormeaux, ESPN reported Monday.

The contract keeps Desormeaux, 39, in Lafayette through the 2029 season. Financial terms were not reported.

Desormeaux was named the Sun Belt Coach of the Year this season and guided the Ragin' Cajuns (10-3, 7-1) to the conference title game.

Louisiana will face TCU (8-4) in the New Mexico Bowl on Saturday in Albuquerque.

Desormeaux is 23-17 as the head coach at his alma mater since taking over as the interim coach for the New Orleans Bowl to conclude the 2021 season. He replaced Billy Napier, who left Louisiana to take over as head coach at Florida.
