According to the Beaumont Enterprise, Tom Abatemarco wasn't interviewed and he's not in the top 8.
[/quote]LU is keeping tight lipped on it's star interview.
[/quote]

Isn't it a law that you have to announce your list of candidates as well as who you are interviewing?

Are you serious? NUMBER 1:  HE IS AN OBNOXIOUS NORTHEAST YANKEE KNOW IT ALL THAT TOOK GREAT PRIDE IN BASHING BEAUMONT.  NUMBER 2, THE ONLY PLACE HE HAD ANY SUCCESS WAS HERE.
[/quote]With exception of being from the northeast, can't we say that about 70 percent of the population.

I'm willing to forgive if he can win here.
[/quote]Dude, why do you continue to hold this guy's nuts?

[/quote]Sorry, you need a coach who will recognize, recruit, and get the talent of players who can compete at a mid-major conference. The talent pool ain't that great out there once you start looking at the 100-200 players in the lower rankings.

I always thought Roc was trying to run his program like Calipari but he couldn't get those types of players to Lamar.  He couldn't adjust his coaching to match his players.
[/quote]I agree. It takes a different style to run a SLC vs Big 12.

[/quote]Exactly! Okay UNLV, I see what you are saying now. I was too dedicated wanting to disagree with you because you want Abber-do-dad

Your coaching style has to reflect the players on your roster.

Best example is Lumberton in the early to mid 2000's.. They ran a spread offense for football and they were all white with no one running under a 4.8 with a QB that wasn't successful throwing the ball. Hence, a spread offense doesn't fit that team which is why Lumberton never won.

Lamar needs a coach that can translate an offense to the style of players he has. [b]Cross[/b].

Would this hire be by Lamar or the new head coach?

I would hope that whoever gets the head coaching position, he would have the say on who his assistants would be.
[/quote]Good point. Who needs an assistant waiting in the wings for you to fail.

Just hire Evans as HC and Cross as his assistant.  Evans will head to OU in 4 or 5 years and Cross will take over.  The program will be set for about 8-10 years.

I like it!  Git 'er done. :D

Abatemarco absolutely positively NO!!!!  Let someone else take that risk, his track record doesn't justify the chance.  LU needs desperately to get this hire right!!!!
