The Summer of 08 and The Search for a New track coach

[CajunDawgPound]

_ I FIRMLY believe that there is virtually NO chance of hiring Boo Schexnayder...so switch gears; it's not worth trying or discussing. _

And you are a confidant of his and have the inside?

YOu post like you have a straight line to him. Schucks, in my sleep last night he told me he was close. Five will get ya ten that there's a MUCH better chance of him coming here than you think.

1. BTW, he will go to Lafayette for the same money as the just departed clown. The Cajuns are in the ballpark.

_ We lost several recruits to my knowledge up to date. _

And they were?

[CajunDawgPound]

_ What is the Olympic coaches name and is there a tie with UL? What are the other possible track coach names out there to be talked about?

Never know...things change through time is all I can say.

BTW Silvey was not a clown...he was a champion producer.

I agree with Silvey being a tremendous coach and produced amaizing results and he would have done the same thing here as well had he stayed. That being said, if they give Coach Boo the same things they gave Silvey I am pretty sure he will be the next coach.

Not announced yet but your new track coach will be:

Charlie Mahfouz
Assistant Coach -AC

Experience: 1st Year

Charlie Mahfouz enters his first season as a volunteer assistant coach for Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns men's and women's track and field programs.

Prior to UL, Mahfouz spent 18 years coaching at the high school level. During his high school coaching career, Mahfouz won six Louisiana state championships. He began his career as the head track coach at Eunice High School from 1984-92. He led the Bobcats to five St. Landry Parish and district championships, while capturing three regional and Class 3A state titles in 1990, 1991 and 1992.

After spending nine years in Eunice, Mahfouz headed east to Opelousas High where he guided the Tigers to a St. Landry Parish championship in each of his nine seasons. His squads also captured six district and five regional crowns.

In his inaugural season at OHS, his Tigers squad finished as the Class 4A runner-up in 1993. His program would later capture three straight state championships from 1998-2000.

Mahfouz coached Ubeja Anderson, a high school All-American in the 110-meter hurdles. He is the state composite record holder with a time of 13.75 in the 110-meter discipline. He later became the national indoor champion in the 55-meter hurdles.

In addition to Anderson, Mahfouz also coached Tommy Fay, Jacques Prudhomme and Devery Henderson. Fay, a four-year letterwinner at UL from 1993-96, won the 110-meter hurdle state championship during his prep career at Eunice High.

Like Fay, Prudhomme, the 800-meter state champion at Eunice, was a four-year letterwinner at UL from 1993-96.

Henderson, a former standout athlete at Opelousas High, was the Louisiana state championship in both the 100- and 200-meter events from 1998-2000. Henderson later lettered in track and football at Louisiana State and is currently a wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints.

I like Mahfouz, but we will not win with him as coach. UL athletics are pathetic, you get what you pay for, and we shop at the dollar general.

[spearchucker]

wow

[cajun4life]

_ wow _

This is an embarassment!

That is not a shot at Coach Mahfouz on a personal level but a shot at the athletic department. What great vision and leadership we have at UL!!
