Ruckdad Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 Is the list of applicants the kind of information that would be subject to the Freedom of information Act?

NorthoftheBorder Posted March 23, 2011 Report Posted March 23, 2011 [quote name="WOSgrad" post="987435" timestamp="1300902638"]In seven years of head coaching, Abadremarko (I just love that nickname Al Caldwell gave him) has amassed an impressive 70-121 record for a whopping .367 winning percentage with a grand total of *1* winning season (and that was with a class than Pat Foster brought in).I'm not dismissing Abatemarco because of the perception that he is a jerk (which in this case perception is reality). Heck, I think Bobby Knight is a jerk. But if he would consistently get the Cardinals into the Dance, he could insult Southeast Texas all he wants as far as I am concerned.[/quote]Especially since you are sitting over in Katy!! ;D

He's been a sucessful coach at the Juco level, he was a good assistant here, he brought in most of the good players that Lamar has had over the past 5 years. I was worried that he wouldn't want the job because of his relationship with Roc, but since he's applied, I think it should be his job. [/quote]Support skelton all you want but saying that he brought most of the good players in over the last 5 years is not why we should hire him because there werent that many that good and the records prove it.[/quote]Lamar Sanders, Jay Nabors, Currye Todd...All hard workers who had they been a few inches taller would have been at a high major. All great character guys and team leaders as well as fan favorites because they recognized their roles in the LU community. All Skelton recruits from his NW Miss days. Been told by players that he ran that offense when he was here. Those were the only successful teams under the Roc regime. The guy breeds success wherever he goes.
westendfirst Posted March 24, 2011 Report Posted March 24, 2011 [quote name="coachacola" post="987307" timestamp="1300888567"]Here's the list from Bob West:Pat KnightSean SuttonDon SkeltonMatt CrossTom AbatemarcoSteve GreenAlvin BrooksGlenn Cyprienhttp://panews.com/sports/x449500653/Pat-Knight-biggest-name-eying-Lamar[/quote]This is a sad list compared to the interest we would get in the good old days of long ago. The only two names I'd even consider on here are Skelton and Cross. I don't know who Green and Cyprien are so maybe one of them would be ok?
geezer Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 I know there is plenty of bad blood toward Abettemarco's arrogance toward the community the first time around, I think he has stated in an interview that he was out of line and regrets his earlier comments.

The guy moved away and hasn't worked here since then. And if he's left once after a decent year, what makes you think he won't do it again?
geezer Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 No reason to think he wouldn't but then that is true about any of those who have coached in a better conference. Just expect it to take two to three years to turn it around here.

A team full of players like that would dominate the Southland.
DP#1FAN Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Cross, I know this guy is young but hey, [b]he can coach and players respond to him[/b]. That is just what Lamar needs. I have went and watched him this season and I have watched Lamar also and this guy is the fit to bring our program up and continue to move up. I hope they give him a good look. If we do not get him someone else will get him.
BLUEDOVE3 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 Chad Cooper gives some very good insightful information why the coach from Oklahoma would be a good applicant and possible fit for Lamar. I especially liked the fact that he recruits and wins in D-11. Sorry, but Lamar has a history of recruiting lower level players and obviously this coach has a skill and hitory at putting good teams together without the big time players.
