I know he's been a GA on Clemson's Staff the past year plus. Not sure he's gonna make a difference but, maybe he learned a thing or two under Dabo? Who knows.

I don't hate this hire. ULM just needs someone to put things in the right direction. Look at what Bowden was able to do for Akron and bringing them some respectability and competitiveness.
Don't be surprised when this hire goes a ULM type of good. I'm not expecting him to win the west, but he should definitely get them to .500.

Terry Bowden was able to get Akron, of all teams, to beat two P5 teams (Northwestern and Pitt)... won a MAC division title... smacked Marshall... beat Utah State in a bowl game... and led them to their first 8 win season in 30 years.
This could be a great move for ULM.

Not a bad hire. If nothing else it’s name recognition and I’m sure their pool of candidates wasn’t all that large. Who wants to go coach at ULM?

Everyone else either has their coach or is in full rebuild mode. And our coach is (The HC we don’t speak of).
(SW) But don't worry guys, I'm sure if everything goes our way and if (The HC we don’t speak of) 1)decides he actually wants to coach, and 2)he actually figures out how to coach, then with a lot of luck we could get to maybe seven wins next year!

Good point...everyone has their coach. So we are behind on the coaching carousel IF we were to get rid of (The HC we don’t speak of) now.

Behind the carousel.Yes. Not a good place to be, behind the carousel. Exactly where we were 23.5 months ago when HCNB announced WVU job. And here we are.

As much as I hate to say it, Kane Wommack might turn out to be the guy at south. I think that for two reasons, 1) 3rd time rule, and 2) just because we're behind now and if Wommack works then it's worse for us, and that's the way things seem to be trending now.
