He should know this recruiting footprint and should be able to expand recruiting to new areas.

Merge time.

Yeah, if we do another thread it should be the one I started.

Still haven't heard that a contract was signed.... Still no official announcement from Louisiana. Will feel better once it's officially announced.

Exactly. Until the contract is signed, there is NO deal.

I hear ya, but in college athletics, telling the players and other coaches that you're gone is a "burn the ships" move.

I tell you what if anything, this has sure got us a lot of attention!!

Man.....all the "in the know" "connected" people really nailed this one!

Now which one of you super cool guys are going to feel obligated to be the unofficial Cajun culture welcoming party and give him a cool nick name.....maybe even try to incorporate -EAUX in his name?!?!

Hear billy napiers name mentioned
Current arizona State offensive coordinator

Nailed it!

[basinbear]

This is a tremendous hire.....I'm happy and grateful to all involved in getting this Coach here....

That "contract" will have to be approved by the ULS board so that "signing" is probably a ways off. I think it safe to say that the deal is done at this point.

Announcement at noon. Presser Monday.
