Mitchell served as boxing coach from 1940-1942 and head football coach from 1947-49, compiling an 18-8-1 record on the gridiron. Beginning in 1963, just a few seasons after the name change to USL, university football teams were dubbed the “Raging Cajuns” by then-Sports Information Director Bob Henderson and head football coach Russ Faulkinberry. In addition, the team switched from gold helmets to white helmets with an Acadian flag. At the time, more than 90 percent of Faulkinberry’s team was composed of Louisiana high school players, many with French-speaking Acadian backgrounds. The “Raging Cajuns” nickname stuck, and in 1967 the second ‘“g”’ was dropped to form the word Ragin’. In the early 1970’s other sports teams began to adopt the Ragin’ Cajuns nickname. The University made a full switch to Ragin’ Cajuns during the 1974-75 school year as part of “Operation Turnaround”. Even though the nickname had changed, USL continued to use a bulldog as its mascot until the early 1970’s. In 1982, USL debuted its new mascot, named Mr. Cajun, a shotgun-carrying hunter riding a giant crawfish. The design was chosen from a student-submitted contest. Mr. Cajun was quickly replaced by Cajun Man, but in 1984, the Fabulous Cajun Chicken was introduced and became a wildly popular unofficial mascot who entertained fans for more than a decade. The bulldog mascot, however, was reintroduced as a live English bulldog named Ragin’ Cajun from 1990-1996. Red, another English bulldog, debuted in the fall of 1996, but served as the mascot for only one season. , the Cajun Pepper, became the new mascot in 2001 and still serves as the mascot today. The Fabulous Cajun Chicken made a brief return in 2007-08, appearing at a baseball game on Apr. 17, 2007, Football Fan Day on Aug. 12, 2007 and a men’s basketball game on Jan. 19, 2008. 29
