TexasTerror Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 This is the one I knew about... Kats in need of a coach — Sam Houston State is currently searching for a replacement to fill the vacancy left when wide receivers coach Tommy Mainord recently accepted the offensive coordinator position at Lamar. Mainord has been on the SHSU staff for the past four seasons, serving as the Bearkats’ running back coach before switching to receivers in 2007. Before coming to Huntsville, Mainord also worked as an assistant under Whitten at Tarleton State for six years. “We are excited for Tommy. He has been with me for about nine years, and he deserves this opportunity,†Whitten said. “I think Lamar is getting a great coach, and it was just one of those opportunities he couldn’t pass up. “The only problem for me is the timing, so I have to get a coach hired in the next few days. I’m working on it, and hopefully we will have somebody in the next week.†This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up

HoopInsider_Cooper Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 Heard the big guy was clueless about a hire. Said it's not in the budget nor has the position even been posted.
stevieray Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 I've known Tommy for 10 years and I can promise you that Lamar is getting a high energy coach who knows the game....It's a good fit!!! Congrats Tommy....
Guest mffl Posted July 24, 2008 Report Posted July 24, 2008 Heard the big guy was clueless about a hire. Said it's not in the budget nor has the position even been posted. Yeah I thought he was going to hire only 2 coaches for this year.
