Good read! Glad someone posted what Lamar had received.
I think we all agree that it's Fran's for the taking. Why dont you think he's applied? Fran was interested in the SMU job and dont know if he applied or not. Some say he did and some say he didnt.
He was in Beaumont yesterday, spent a good time at the Montagne looking at everything and BT is ready to pull the trigger, believe me. $200K-225K would be the figure for his salary, but that will be deducted from what TAMU ($4.4 mil) is giving him per year.
It's a nice hire because of the name, but how long do you think Fran the ego is going to stay in Beaumont? This is a guy that ran TCU, Alabama and TAMU. Now Lamar?
He's going to bring in his staff. This roster WILL NOT be loaded 100% from the Golden Triangle, LU football would not survive these days with a roster full of SETX kids. Look at how many SETX kids go off and play DI-AA football...Not too many.
If not Fran...
Larry Keenan is nearing 70...He was a good thing then for Lamar but too old now. Koenning may not be bad but I like the Navarro guy (Woodard). Names like Coker, Switzer, etc...Why would you want them? The only thing they are going to do is bring in quick fix $$$ then run. Switzer is a JOKE. He's had problems follow him everywhere he's been.
My 2-cents.
