re: Northwestern State Coaching Search

Great person and coach. Played at USM. Did student coaching there. Did grad asst at LSU with Daryl Daye. They hooked up at Nicholls and turned that program around. Had to do all the fund raising. They started a fund set up like TAF. This did not go well with the U. They wanted all the money for Title 9. Left little to none for football. After a couple of years...the well ran dry. He is not a fund raiser. Then, he spent a couple of years at NSU under Peveto. His D Line looked pretty good. Daye left the Buffalo Bills and Buddy Nix for a HC job at MSSU in Joplin. Thomas went with him....they again turned the team around in 1 year and had a winning season. Now, they want to do the same thing at NSU. Daye has not gone, yet. They are a super team, as they divide and conquer. None better in the SLC, for sure.
