Seriously, that is one POS logo. It looks like a scary-cheesy graphic cartoon. I see that and I think Bolshevik. What is wrong with an N and a sword?

Don Carthel, head coach at West Texas A&M University should be the first guy they go after if they want someone that's a proven winner and someone that can bring excitement to that terrible program.

Before Coach Carthel got to WTAM they had won a combined 7 games in the 4 years before he took the job. In the 5 years he has been there he has won 52 games, 3 conference championships, made 4 NCAA Division II playoff appearances and has broken almost every school and conference offensive record. He runs the same offense that Mike Leach and Tony Franklin runs. The best crowds they've ever had at that school has been under his watch. If the administration at Nichols wants the best guy then he is the guy they need to get to lead their program.

That's more applicants than I expected for the Nicholls job. I have to question how accurate the list is though, because the first name on the list, Atterberry, is actually the head coach at DII Texas A&M Kingsville.

He's done a pretty good job of turning that program around and was in the running for DII coach of the year.

Anyone have any info on who the true frontrunners are?

UTiger, what's the deal with the First Down Club? Is that like the NSU version of TAF?

apparently the tried grabbing terry farmer from south lafourche but he turned it down

Not to mention, they changed their mascot from a confederate rebel wanabe looking thing to something that looks like a German or Russian calvary officer about to cut someone's head off:

Look for something as in naming the new coach or announcing the finalists?

Jackson family says that Nicholls would not match Hud's salary, so he would not take the job.

didnt they just win their conference a few years ago?

They've won in the past and can do it again.
