Is a Southland conference coach being considered?

seriously doubt it.

Not trying to flame here, but why is ULL dead set against considering Viator? Is it because they feel that they can get better? Would hiring someone from McNeese be an admission that the ULL program hasn't been as good as MSU the last decade?

I am not trying to flame, just honest questions. The last few years we hear rumors of Bustle getting the axe and then V's name starts floating around, only to be squashed by ULL supporters. Obviously he can coach, he took a group of kids that ULL didn't want (most from within 100 miles of your campus) and soundly beat Bustle in his own stadium. Just wondering if pride is keeping ULL from seriously considering a pretty darn good coach.

I think you guys need to be honest with yourselves and drop the pie in the sky scenarious and realize the right guy for your program may be 70 miles down the road.

Again, I HOPE this doesn't happen anytime soon....

I understand that reasoning, but 2 years ago Hudspeth was coaching a D-2 school.

So if Viator were to become TE coach at Kentucky for 2 years, then he would be a better candidate?

I think once we get to 7 losses, we might pull the trigger or we might wait til the season is over.

Yep, evidenced by our basketball program. Before Marlin's first game and we've sold out most of the lower bowl of the Cajundome.

Should be a fun time in the Cajundome this year. I'll be there in a week
