Scott Stoker should be very familiar to older UL fans. Former NW State QB has now been coaching over 30 years. Was NW State head coach (2002-2008). Has been Offensive Coordinator at McNeese (1999) and Defensive Coordinator at McNeese (2000), Sam Houston State (2009-2012) and UTEP (2013-2015). LB coach at ULM (2016-2020) and LB/Safety coach at Tarelton State (2022-2023).
3rd times the charm!Quote:

Is being a former ULM staff member becoming a prerequisite for a job here?
Lots of posting here in the past about Belhaven.
Northwestern state just hired Blaine McCorkle as its head football coach. He was the HFC at Belhaven before this hire.
Lol I think both hires being men in the twilight of their careers tell you the temp of the program.Quote:

Probably Matt Viator connections.Quote:

He wasn’t hired from Syracuse. He was unemployed.Quote:

Scott Stoker, son of Butch Stoker long time head coach at ASH. Scott was a HS QB that made his mark on the defensive side of the ball. Intense player and coach.
I think it is a great hire. A former HC and DC.
