Ace,

You pretty much nailed it. I didn't communicate it but I think we bring Porter back to coach RB's and recruit. I would make coach O Recruiting Coordinator.

Who is Juluke's? I am not being a smart arse just don't know?

Who is Juluke

RB coach who has coached at La Tech the last couple of years who has apparently just been hired by Texas Tech. He was HC at Edna Karr in New Orleans for a while prior to going to La Tech.

quote:
Juluke came to Louisiana Tech after serving as head coach at Edna Karr High School in New Orleans the last nine years. While at Edna Karr, he compiled an 80-39 record (.672 winning percentage) capped off with a 14-0 mark and a Louisiana state championship in 2012. Over the past four years, Juluke has guided Edna Karr HS to a 49-8 mark (.860 winning percentage).

“Jabbar has been a very successful high school coach in New Orleans, having played in the last three state championships,” Holtz said. “The thing that excited me the most about Jabbar when I had the opportunity to sit and talk to him was not just his X’s and O’s and his knowledge of the game but the way he relates to people. Growing up in the inner city of New Orleans and now building Edna Karr High School to what he has built it to, I think he is a tremendous addition and he gives us a great Louisiana flavor on this staff.”

Juluke has guided Edna Karr to three consecutive state championship appearances along with winning seven of the past nine district championships with the other two years finishing as the district runner-up. Over his tenure, Edna Karr has signed over 70 players to collegiate football scholarships.

“Growing up in New Orleans, he has been around high school football in New Orleans for a long time. He brings a vast knowledge of the area but also brings a relationship with the high school coaches in the New Orleans area,” Holtz continued. “Being the largest city in the state of Louisiana, that is definitely a place where we need to have a footprint for Louisiana Tech.”

Prior to serving as head coach at Edna Karr, Juluke was the defensive coordinator for four years at Frederick Douglas High School in New Orleans and was a wide receivers coach at Brother Martin for one year before that. He got his start in coaching as a defensive backs coach and special teams coordinator at O.P. Walker High School in New Orleans where he spent one year before moving over to St. Augustine High School where he was a linebackers coach for two years.
