LU football search moving quietly

By Tom Halliburton

The Port Arthur News

BEAUMONT -- While an early May timeline for naming a Lamar football coach remained possible, Billy Tubbs did not sound as if he planned to complete the process that soon.

Speaking Thursday morning on Lamar's coaching search for the first time this month, the Lamar University athletic director sounded as if he intended to proceed as quietly and privately as possible on any discussions with likely candidates.

"Our timeline is not necessarily set," Tubbs said, when asked about his plans for beginning any interview procedures. "We still have hurdles to clear the Texas Coordinating Board and through our (Texas State University System) board of regents. That doesn't mean we can't think ahead of the game.

"We've obviously been on the prowl for football coaches and you always have to be proactive in having people in mind... We're on top of it to say the least."

When asked for even a ballpark guess on Lamar's number of football coaching applicants, Tubbs responded, "I have no idea how many applicants we've had."

Tubbs did not sound as if it were too far into the selection process if an applicant expressed a strong interest in the job. It already was posted last month that Lamar University intended to hire a head coach with college coaching experience.

Although the May timeline was tossed around Golden Triangle media circles, an August timeline also had been expressed as a possible point when LU hoped to have a coach in place.

"We have some ideas about what we're going to do but we're doing all of that in-house," Tubbs said. "We're not going to give our thoughts out about the candidates... but hey, you know the Port Arthur News and the Beaumont Enterprise will name the coach anyway... So I may have to turn it over to you!"

After the Enterprise used the open records act to publish the initial 11 applicants, Tubbs is going to keep everyone else off the books for now. I think he wants to get the stadium plans finalized and approved through the Higher Education Coordinating Board (4/28 I think). Then he'll have the full package to present to any candidates and to the public. If the HEC doesn't approve it on 4/28 or LU doesn't present the plans in time for the 4/28 date, then it's going to be summer or August.

He needs a coach in place so we can start recruiting now. Waiting until August will only get us the left-overs.

Jimmy Johnson needs to stop playing games and start recruiting.

"Left-overs." You're going to get this anyway. You and AbovetheRim stop the dreaming :D

We are the dreamers of the dreams.... ???...nevermind,  go lick the wall paper Veruca Salt .

I had to google Veruca Salt to figure what you were talking about.  Veruca Salt is the spoiled brat from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, so I'm still a little confused by your comment.

I hope you didn't apply for the football coaching position, or we're in trouble.

Yeah, the old Willy Wonka was cool. The new one needs mental help and just plain creepy.

      Well I’d say the Bobcats looked a lot more talented tonight, not taking anything away from Anahuac, but physically this was not a competitive game. Gotta give the Bobcats their flowers lol absolutely no one gave them a chance in this game.

      I can’t help but feel for Anahuac in this game. A lot of buzz and excitement around the team this year, and there is not a more talented team in the district.  But it looks like they still have some issues with discipline and consistency. They keep getting in their own way.    They have an amazing coaching staff and good athletes who are also great young men. I hope they find a way to get over whatever hill is blocking them from being the program they’re capable of being
