It appears UL head football coach Rickey Bustle has found his new quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator.
His name is Jorge Munoz, who spent the past three years coaching at Eastern Illinois, an NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision school from the Ohio Valley Conference.
On Wednesday, UL director of athletics David Walker recommended to university president Ray Authement for Munoz to be hired. His hiring is pending approval by the UL system board of supervisors.
"(UL's coaches) just seemed like a good bunch of guys," Munoz said Wednesday morning while packing up his EIU office. "I'm just looking forward to being able to fit in. I think coach Bustle expects you to work hard and will treat you fair."
Bustle said he could not comment on the move because the job ad has to be posted for five days.

Munoz, 33, said he interviewed for the job last week. He replaces Blake Anderson, who left three weeks ago after one season as the Ragin' Cajun offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach to become the quarterbacks coach and running game coordinator at Southern Miss.
Last season, Munoz was promoted to EIU's offensive coordinator and previously serving as the program's co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach (2006) and wide receivers coach (2005).
Under his direction last season, EIU ran a balanced offensive attack, averaging 382.8 yards per game (191.7 passing, 191.1 rushing) and 29 points per game. The Panthers went 8-4, advanced to the FCS playoffs for the third straight year and were ranked No. 15 in the final FCS Coaches poll.
As co-offensive coordinator in 2006, Munoz called plays for an EIU team that ranked 18th in the nation in run offense and was first or second in the OVC in rushing offense, total offense and passing efficiency.
UL finished sixth nationally last season in rushing yards per game (251.6) and became the first Sun Belt team to top 3,000 rushing yards as quarterback Michael Desormeaux and running back Tyrell Fenroy ran for 1,000 yards apiece. The Cajuns, though, ranked 115th out of 119 NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision teams in passing yards per game (155.5) and went 3-9 after ranking near the bottom of the conference in scoring offense.
Munoz, a 1998 graduate of Bethany (Kan.) College, understands what it takes to play quarterback. He was a two-time All-American at the position and played one year in the Arena Football League with the Albany (N.Y.) Firebirds.
"I think (my playing experience) helps out a bunch," Munoz said. "You can relate to the kid and the position he's going to be in. It's possible to relate to the expectations he faces because you've been in the fire and been in their shoes.
"The big thing now is to find out what works best for our quarterback and set up a package for him."
Before his time at EIU, Munoz spent two seasons coaching wide receivers at Charleston Southern (2003-04). He has also coached at Anderson (Ind.) College (2001-02), Southeast Missouri State (1999-2000) and Bethany College (1997-98).
At Southeast Missouri State, Munoz worked with current UL offensive line coach Ron Hudson.
Munoz earned his first offensive coordinator position at NCAA Division III Anderson (Ind.) College (2001-02). His 2002 team set six offensive school records, ranked fifth in the nation in passing offense at 323 yards per game and averaged 33 points and 451 yards of offense per game.
His 2001 team won the Heartland Collegiate Conference championship with the nation's sixth-best passing offense. That team set 22 school records and averaged 36 points and 466 yards per game.
Munoz does not think it will be a big adjustment moving up from the Ohio Valley Conference to the Sun Belt.
"There's only so many ways people can play defense against you," he said. "At Eastern Illinois we played BYU, Hawaii and Purdue. The defensive looks are going to be no different than a Division III school. The only difference really is talent."
Last week, Bustle told The Daily Advertiser he had interviewed two candidates - former Alabama running backs coach Sparky Woods and one of UL's current coaches, believed to be running backs coach Brian Jenkins - for the offensive coordinator opening.
Bustle has not set a timetable for making a hire.
On Wednesday, Woods said he had not heard from Bustle in a "few days."

Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns head football coach Rickey Bustle announced the completion of his football staff on Friday. Jorge Munoz was added to the Cajuns staff as the Quarterbacks Coach and Passing Game Coordinator.
One of the main responsibilities Munoz will undertake includes play calling.
“Coach Munoz has the experience and knowledge to fit what we were looking for,” stated Bustle. “He is familiar with our no-huddle offense and I’m very excited to add him to our staff.
“I wanted to improve our passing game and he is very technique sound with his quarterbacks.”
His hiring is pending approval by the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors.
Prior to his hiring at UL, Munoz was on the staff at Eastern Illinois for three seasons.
He was promoted to Offensive Coordinator at EIU in March of 2007 after being named co-Offensive Coordinator during the summer of 2006. Under Munoz’s direction, the Panthers proceeded to run a more diverse offense in 2006 with four players earning first team All-Ohio Valley Conference honors on offense including OVC co-Offensive Player of the Year Vincent Webb and third team All-American Micah Rucker.
The Panthers ranked 18th in the nation in run offense and either ranked first or second in the OVC in rushing offense, total offense and passing efficiency. Under Munoz’s balanced attack, EIU nearly had a 1,000 yard rusher and a 1,000 yard receiver in the same season, as Webb finished with over 1,000 yards rushing for the third straight season and Rucker had 966 yards receiving to go along with 13 touchdowns.
EIU continued to run a diverse offense in 2007 as the Panthers had a 1,000 yard rusher for the fourth straight season with five Panthers earning first team All-OVC honors and three players earning honorable mention All-America honors. In 2007, EIU ranked 33rd in the nation in scoring and 36th in the country in rushing yards. EIU ranked sixth for the least amount of sacks allowed, giving them back-to-back Top 10 seasons in that category.
Munoz joined the EIU staff in 2005, coaching the Panthers wide receivers. He was promoted to quarterbacks coach following the 2005 season.
EIU advanced to the first round of the NCAA FCS playoffs all three seasons and was ranked in the Top 20 in the I-AA polls all three years. Munoz served as the Panthers recruiting contact for north and central Florida, western Illinois and the St. Louis area.
Prior to coming to Eastern Illinois, Munoz spent two seasons as the wide receivers coach at Charleston Southern (2003-04). During the 2004 season, Charleston Southern wide receivers ranked first, second and fourth in the Big South Conference.
The Buccaneers passing offense ranked first in the Big South and 17th in the NCAA.
After coaching stops at Southeast Missouri (1999-2000) and Bethany (KS) College (1997-97), Munoz earned his first offensive coordinator position at Anderson College in Indiana. His 2002 team set six offensive school records, ranking fifth in NCAA Division III for passing offense at 323 yards per game. That same team averaged 33 points and 451 yards of offense per contest.
His 2001 team was just as good, winning the Heartland Collegiate Conference championship with the nation’s sixth best passing offense. That team set 22 school records, scoring 36 points per game and averaging 466 yards per game.
A 1998 graduate of Bethany College, Munoz was a two-time All-American quarterback. He went on to play one year in the Arena Football League with the Albany (NY) Firebirds. He was also a multi-sport standout at San Diego Hilltop High School.
He and his wife Erin, have two children - Ava and Alex.
