Matt Viator

Well...it was my understanding that we have offered. But if it is your statement that we have actually hired someone...and we are just working out details...that is awesome.

We have and it is NOT Matt Viator.

My guess is they are trying to work out the contract verbiage to satisfy the new coach and we will know tomorrow or Monday.

Well here is my logic, CR. Miss St has a big official weekend for recruits this weekend. They like to do things before classes adjourn so the recruits can see the campus in action. That is also the reason that Dan Mullen told ESPN that he is very happy being the HC at Miss St. He does not want to spook any recruits just in case he is not offered the Florida job.

Mark Hudspeth, on the other hand, would have to push for a decision to be made as soon as possible so he can announce it on Friday and leave in good standing with the coaching staff and the university. Just in case he needs a fall back in the future.

The other candidate, IMO, is Mike Sewak. I say that only because its a matter of elimination. He is also close friends with one Scott Farmer from their days together at Ga Southern. Confidence in your coach weighs very big in this business and Scott Farmer is fixing to step into the AD realms big time. His future depends on it.

The other thing is, as far as I have read, Joe DeForest was not afforded a face to face interview. If true, that's not good. Even Viator got a face to face. So, I believe it is going to be Mark Hudspeth or Mike Sewak. And the decision will come very soon for the reasons I have outlined.

There are still plenty of good applicants out there, like Tim Brewster, who was let go by Minnesota. He actually hails from Texas and is a pretty good coach, but no one can win at Minnesota. But the timing is off for him and Pellini. So count them both out.

_ Or you could say you like Viator more as a friend.

I don't have enough fingers to count the times I have been told that by many a girl. _

I can understand why so many girls told you they only liked you as a friend. You finally said something that makes sense. What surprises me it they wanted to still be friends with you???

When you can talk to them like Robert Redford, it's easy to get them to sit and talk, but if you don't look like Robert Redford it's harder to make them stay and play. Catch my drift.

Don't forget that Viator's McNeese team took us to the wood shed three years ago in a big way! We couldn't be so lucky as to land Matt Viator as the head coach. I've been very close to him since he was in High School, and he is the real deal. He will leave McNeese and go somewhere, please be UL......

Eat our dirt McNeese....how bout dem cajuns....

Then why has he never been anywhere else, even as an assistant, up to now? And I don't think we should base a hire on one freaking game.

Also Viator's McNeese team this year scored a touchdown on LSU in one try!!!! That beats our 100 year history! Better take your heads out of the clouds and think hard about a guy like Viator.... we will be sorry in the long run....IMO

[CalcasieuCajun]

Not one game, look at the entire body of work starting from his winning the State Championship at Jennings many years ago.... Vinton, Sulphur, McNeese etc... He's a young man give him time.......

Viator is still under the radar....but he will move up...bank on it...
