I've also been told - by multiple sources - that coach Lee has visited ULM and is expected to fill the opening left when Johnson comes to Lafayette.

Thanks JP, I linked your blog on the Johnson announcement. It seems Lee is almost a done deal according some folks on the ULM site. Interesting!

Thanks JP One of my friends from Pittsburgh who was affiliated with ABCD camp applied. I figured he was behind the 8 ball.

Thanks, T. Coach Lee has 14 years of full-time experience as a college coach in Louisiana (plus one year as a student assistant at Nicholls State), and ULM could definitely use him up there.

Interesting note: ULM's other assistant right now is Cord Wright, a St. Thomas More grad who previously worked seven years with Bobby Champagne at North Alabama.

A well-connected source in Monroe tells me that coach Lee's first official day at ULM is Monday.

Good for him. I expected that Coach Lee would land on his feet somewhere. He is a good man who led our program with class.

Coach Lee never purposely failed to show. Each time, after I signed off, he came out and was very apologetic.

While I wish he had been there, I never felt dissed by him.

Lee really is a class act and It took me a while to jump on the "Fire Lee" bandwagon b/c he is such a nice guy. glad he found another job. One thing is for sure, he is one heck of an ASSISTANT coach

[beavis11]

You might not have felt dissed,but I felt dissed and ____ed upon and I'm sure I wasn't the only one. No matter how crappy the team played, I at least would've liked to hear from the coach after the game.

Interesting choice by Tabby on referencing UL. Maybe the Advertiser should follow her lead and Josh can refer to the school up north as Monroe.
