Yep he’s at Disney.

He isn’t making the hire anyway and I seriously doubt he is AD much longer.

Good luck with the hiring process. I thought Viator was gonna be a long time coach for y'all. Seriously, he's a good coach and recruiting was definitely on the upswing. Saw comments about him poosibly losing the locker room. Any merit to that?

That's what I've heard as well. Half the team was in the transfer portal before he got fired, so I wouldn't say it's a far-fetched theory.

So, are y’all going to be okay? That sounds unusually rough.

I’d damn near bet ULM is thinking wait as long as possible before putting a new coach on payroll to save money.

Back in the 90’s one of my best friends said the then president at AState’s philosophy was you wanted I-A you are in I-A and if you want anything more you are welcome to come pay for it but I’m not going to. If not for new leadership and promoting Freeze, I think Red Wolves would be pulling the plug right now if we hadn’t already.

We’re screwed

Or perhaps they got tired of getting hung up on after they said: I'm ______ and we wanted to discuss you possibly becoming our new Head Coach at ULM...

From the Athletic;

Louisiana Monroe: One name to watch for the ULM job is former Florida State and Oregon assistant Alonzo Hampton, a person with knowledge of the situation tells The Athletic. He’s a ULM alum and has some big recruiters lined up to join a potential staff.

I should have stated the link following the stated info is more recent referencing interviews that took place.

EEeesh. Hampton has been a Defensive analysis at Oregon, Special Teams at USF and ArkPB, DBack coach at FSU, WKU, and Tift County High School. His highest level job was the DC at Arkansas Pine-Bluff for 1 season before getting demoted to Dback coach.

With the majority of the Texas schools from the SLC likely to join the WAC, I think there is pressure for ULM to join the SLC. They are definitely not doing anything publicly that can be taken as serious about football.
