Any thoughts on a new head coach?

Hostra and Northeastern's coaches just became avilable.

Weatherbie was in the last year of his contract and it was not renewed.

When's the last time Hoftra or Northeastern beat Bama at Bama? ULM did it 2 years ago - duh!
Coach was fired after 7 years.

BullSam - are you hearing any talk locally about replacements? I read where Weatherbie referred the DC as his replacement - that should be the kiss of death IMHO.

Reffet? I don't know. He came from New Mexico, which, as mediocre as it was pre-Locksley, was more legitimate than ULM's ever been.

Just remind everyone up there that it didn't turn out well the last time ULM hired a McNeese coach. Viator doesn't need to go anywhere.

Yes - I read it on a News Star sportwriter's blog. I'm not kicking dirt on the guy, just don't think that Weatherbie's opinion would matter much.

Terry Bowden has been rumored to be a candidate.

He mentioned in his press conference that he would recommend Reffett.

Nobody from the current staff has a chance (good thing). Several name school coords have been mentioned. Weatherbie was the lowest paid BCS coach in the nation. ULM Admin has promised to double his salary. He was making around $175,000.

It's going to take an increase to the coaching salary budget to get decent coordinators, position coaches, etc. If what I read was true, the current budget is anemic.
