Louisiana Football Coaching Search

[Scott Malkinson]

I tried to warn you people about this, as did someone else in leadership many years ago. Going after someone like Billy Napier who has eyes on a bigger job will keep you continuing to spin your wheels having to hire a new head coach every 3 to 4 years.

Finding someone who is comfortable with their place in Lafayette, like Bob Marlin, or even previously Jerry Baldwin, means you don’t have to keep worrying and expanding energy constantly having to hire someone new.

Agree 100% we will have to pay Marlin to leave he is so loyal.

They threw lots of possible assistant names, most have connections with Billy Napier in previous programs. Now Juluke could consider a move with him to Florida, but there is also consideration for him to complete his State retirement from Louisiana. He's now coached at UL, Louisiana Tech and LSU for a reason.

I could see Rob Sale joining him as a OC and Assistant HC if he's not interested in this job. He won't be an OL Coach, he turned down Saban his second year here at UL to be his OL coach at Alabama.

I hear Toney, Segrest and Hocke will be hired by him. I don't know that for certain at this point, but I think they are good bet.

I heard Coach Napier is after the DC at Ok St. Jim Knowles.

Confirmed: Coach Lance Guidry will throw his name in the hat for HC at UL. He is the current DC at Marshall.

I'm related to Lance Guidry, but not for HC.

Who is on your wish list? And do you think any of the current staff gets consideration?

Theres not a chance in Hades I would consider anybody on our current staff. No knock on those guys, but this isnt your daddy's UL anymore. We're a top 25 team now. We have choices for FAR better candidates. I gaurantee Maggard will have interest from some pretty big names. I want to scream when I hear people suggest Des or Leger.

I would take Lance as a defensive staff coach or DC.

A group of us in Mandeville weee discussing this SAME thing yesterday !
I truly believe Dan Mullen is a great coach and do not know the specifics about why he didn’t succeed at UF for the past 2 years but those two years are his only real blemish

Mullen has a reputation for being an A-hole
