New ULM Head Coach

[AstroCajun]

I honestly like Viator. If Hudsbeth would leave I would not mind having him as our head coach. I think ULM needs to rebuild, and get back to basics. Every coach they have gotten since they turned D-IA have been fired and were not successful at the D-IA level.

This guy is 77-33, and has had success in High School as well as College.

ULM is getting back to basics with this hire, they were successful at the D-IAA level, This hire is saying we need to go back to what made us successful, the time when we made it to National Championship at the D-IAA level and won.

Think GS and App St. has the same mentality, they are not changing how they play ball, they have built a tradition of winning. Why change success?

This coach will have a hard time, with budget constraints, fan support, and recruiting. He needs to tap into the Monroe market for high school players. You have the best high school football teams in the country, WMHS, Neville, Ouachita etc.. I think Matt Viator can do that because he was a high school coach, and knows how to get these kids in.

I don't think it was a coincidence that McNeese beat us and almost beat Nebraska. Somewhere down the line we are getting out recruited and having trouble in evaluating talent. If we are not, then Viator has won the recruiting war between McNeese and UL by building a rapport with these high school athletes.

0-5 in post season, Dude.

You keep saying that as if it matters. He made it to the post season with the smallest budget in his conference. Plus FBS wins against UL, middle Tennessee, south Florida and a near win at Nebraska.

Oh my goodness...I'd cry tears of joy if we hired him as our DC. And the first time I saw 3 down linemen I'd leave the stadium in tears of infinite sadness.

I think you're talking about his "now let's go get our damn trophy" speech.

No, Leger the OC at McNeese State is Gunner Leger's father.

No his son is the one that went to Tennessee as a db, got booted....then got charged with murder.

Definitely not on our baseball team.

Yeah I'm sure you would be saying this if Coach Hud was 0-4 in the postseason.
