FB 2007 UL vs McNeese

[USLJim]

_ We've got a great university and facilities like the indoor practice facility. I think we should make a run for their coach. Give him whatever he wants. _

No way, are you serious. They don't want to come here, they are happy in cowtown.
Besides, I don't want them here and just because they beat us doesn't make them in high demand, if they were, they won't come here.

You guys don't want Coach Viator. He wouldn't fit in over there.

Besides as the ULM guys would say, "He doesn't look like a Div I-A coach".

Everything is a good as to be expected.

As far as Coach V., I think the only McNeese coach that was more ogranized and paid attention to smaller details was Coach Jack Doland. Plus, he is a genuinely nice guy, no put on nice cause he has to be.

But like I said, you guys don't want so we will stay stuck with him.

Wow. I guess you want to give Coach Robichaux back to the Brokebacks???

He's the best thing to happen to this University athletic wise period. Sorry, once we have a good one, we don't give em back However, we love to keep the bad ones for a long time also.

_ Guru, I whole-heartedly agree with you. You need to go after those guys for sure. Matt Viator is not a UL kind-of-guy. And, if he just so happens to lead the Cowboys to the FCS Championship this year, put him as far down your priority list as you can.

Clint Conque at UCA is more the type guy you want anyway, okay? _

Viator will be any kind of man that money buys my friend. I don't care what he has told the McNeese crowd. Second, if he wins the SLC championship it will be his first. Now, I think the word I used was Championships. He ain't at the top of the list my friend. But the bottomline is money and $190,000 won't buy the Cajuns anyone. Conque has not won anything in the SLC yet, but does have a championship in DivII.

Viator would be a very good hire. I know the guy well and he does not except losing. He coached me in Jennings and won a state championship in his 2nd year, something Jennings has not done in 53 years before. He has twice been selected high school coach of the year and in his first year at McNeese he was the SLC coach of the year and will win it again this year. I would support Viator being hired.

First, Guru, if Viator wins the SLC it will be his second in a row. He inherited a very disorganized team last year at mid-season and proceeded to win the SLC in his first year as head coach. Now, if he takes McNeese to the FCS Championship game and wins, it will be the first for the team and the Southland Conference.

My entire post was "tongue-in-cheek", but I agree with you $190,000 will not buy UL the coach you need. Right now the only coach lower paid in the Sun Belt is Weatherbie at ULM. So, I guess money is a very strong starting point. And for the record McNeese is not ready to part with Coach Viator just yet.

On another note, Guru, did Rich Rodriguez (UWV), Seclfo (Tulane), the Steelers coach, Larry Blakeney (Troy) turn down UL after the departure of Stokely over money? I only ask because that was a pretty good group of applicants that was available or at least the quality potential was there that these men eventually proved.

This is a geniune question and is asked with respect for UL because I really want to know what happened.
