The2017 Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns football team represented theUniversity of Louisiana at Lafayette in the2017 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The Ragin' Cajuns played their home games atCajun Field inLafayette, Louisiana, and competed in theSun Belt Conference. They were led by seventh-year head coachMark Hudspeth. They finished the season 5–7, 4–4 in Sun Belt play to finish in a three-way tie for fifth place.
On December 3, the day following their final season game (a blowout loss againstAppalachian State, 63–14), head coach Mark Hudspeth was fired.[1] He finished with a seven-year record of 51–38. However, due to NCAA sanctions in 2016 because former assistant coach David Saunders arranged fraudulent college entrance exams for recruits, his official record was 29–38.[2] On December 15, the school hiredBilly Napier as head coach.[3][4]
