_ Overlooking a very important name:
Louis Cook (Rayne, Crowley)

JUST KIDDING! _

I wouldn't necessarily be kidding. Wasn't he kinda, sorta the heir apparent under Stokely until he got tired waiting? Also, if we were to move to the FCS, maybe he would then be perceived as a better fit.

again..... no. take your FCS dreams somewhere else because they are not wanted or welcome here.

You are right, it would be perceived as a better fit and that is exactly what we DON'T want. Lou Cook would make a very solid coordinator but I am not for his hire in a head capacity. For the money that the administration is looking to spend for a new coach, we can get someone more qualified to run a D-1 program with much more history and a track record than coach Cook. I presume you feel that we should move to FCS. Maybe you could give me 3 factual reasons as to your conclusion. I'm curious to speak with anybody out there who thinks this is a beneficial move on our part. I'm not trying to start a long debate but truly am interested in the reasonings.

BTW, Cook is not coming anywhere near this staff. He's perfectly content where he is and there are certain groups in the Crowley area that will make sure they do what is necessary to keep him there, I can assure you that.
