Recommended Posts

Yep...Marlin to ULL.

[QUOTE]Sam Houston State’s Bob Marlin removed himself for consideration for the University of Houston head coaching job.

One person familiar with the search said Marlin accepted the head coaching job at Louisiana-Lafayette on Friday morning and is meeting with his team in the afternoon to explain the situation to his players. [/QUOTE]

Or wait, has he? Conflicting reports from the "hometown fishwrap"...

[quote]Pending the outcome of this weekend's meeting with UL, the university plans to release a statement.

The Houston Chronicle has reported that Marlin removed himself from consideration for the University of Houston job and accepted the Cajuns opening on Friday morning, but sources close to the situation say that the decision is not yet final by UL or Marlin.[/quote]

Further news...another media source in Lafayette is reporting that he'll meet with them this weekend...looking like Marlin, but still not official per the Lafayette media...

[quote]Actually, ESPN1420 has learned that Marlin will meet with UL President Dr. Joe Savioe on Sunday to make if official.  And unless "T-Joe" just hates him, he's our guy.

T-Joe isn't going to hate him.[/quote]

But, the Huntsville Item saying it's a done deal...

HUNTSVILLE — Bearkats basketball coach Bob Marlin is leaving Sam Houston State. A week after taking his Sam Houston State team to the NCAA tournament, Marlin accepted the head coaching position at Louisiana-Lafayette, sources told The Huntsville Item on Friday afternoon.

[b]Sam Houston State's top candidates are most likely UALR head coach Steve Shields, Texas assistant Rodney Terry, Texas A&M assistant Scott Spinelli and former Villanova assistant/Milby HS  start Chris Walker...[/b]

Goes to show how much better the Sun Belt is... or how much highly regarded it is.

Terror, when will the katfans forum be up again? Or do you have a link to the new one? Just curious what your fellow Bearkats are saying.

Hopefully SHSU will hire Roc.............that will be two wins for LU each year against the Bearkats!!!!!!

I don't think thats going to happen, but we can only hope.  Maybe Barbee will hire him as an assistant at Auburn.  They have a history together.

marlin going ul-l seems like a lateral move career wise.those dollars must have done the trick.

Nope. Sunbelt has proven that they can get an at large!

Also if you go 26-6 in the sunbelt but loose the post season tournament, you still have a shot at an at large. Not hapening in the Southland.

Marlin is not in the mix at ULL. Heard from a ULL source today that he pulled out of the running last week...

You called it. The Sunbelt is a better basketball league like it has been mentioned. More money for Marlin, and the opportunity to get an even better gig if he has success at ULL. COngrats to him.

Yea this is just a stepping stone. With LSu down, he has a chance to build the top dog in LA.
