bullets13 Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 just saw this. there's plenty of room for improvement, and you wouldn't think it would be that hard to get good candidates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snakehead26 Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 He had been on leave. He pretty much destroyed every athletic program Lamar had with poor decisions and hires. Here is hoping we get somebody good to turn our programs around. navydawg31 and BlueOwl 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navydawg31 Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Good riddance. Lamar is in more shambles than they were before… I really hope they open the wallet and make a splash hire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueOwl Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 This clown needed to go. Couldn’t hire a coach to save his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidersal Posted March 11, 2022 Report Share Posted March 11, 2022 I hope they find a good one Lamar really needs to go to Division2 or 3 or NAIA, because all major sports can’t compete at Division 1 level They are playing with Division 2 or worse talent Bruder won in softball, Hooks can’t sniff a win Price teams at least played close. Brooks couldn’t win 1 Division 1 game Harmony won, this one hasn’t had a winning season yet Gilligan won, Davis’s record is poor and football is just flat awful A combination of poor recruiting and poor coaching I think the WAC is very disappointed with allowing Lamar in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs92 Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 Being in the WAC should make LU more visible and viable for prospective candidates. Every coach in the program will be on notice, if they're not already. There's a huge opportunity to improve quickly with the right person.

snakehead26 Posted May 11, 2022 Report Share Posted May 11, 2022 Anybody heard any word on this? It has been two months and all is awfully quiet. Time for some shakeups in our athletic department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like internally in the WAC there was a lot of opposition to Lamar joining, but due to needing to fill things out Lamar was accepted over notable objections. Now those same ones who spoke up are in "I told you so" mode to the ones who pushed Lamar in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

navydawg31 Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 Welcome, I hope he stays long has a prosperous career here. I wonder what his short and long term goals for Lamar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DP#1FAN Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 It's long over due in all sports for sure. Lamar has struggled for years. Jeff O'Malley has been around a successful program. I hope he has great luck at Lamar. turning Lamar around to a consistence winner and have a great graduating rate of student/athletes.

Coach85 Posted June 14, 2022 Report Share Posted June 14, 2022 I hope he can convince Lamar to give him a bigger athletic budget to be able to turn the programs around. It’s been operating on a very small budget compared to other schools their size that are competitive. Plus most of the other schools have more things for students to do around town then Lamar has to offer. What does Beaumont and the surrounding area have for the students to do for fun? Go swimming in the Neches River? BEARCPA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
