    I was fully prepared to see him go, but this move is puzzling at best. He's up for jobs at Auburn, UTEP and UH, and he chooses ULL in the Sun Belt? Kind of seems like a lateral move. Is the Sun Belt getting multiple teams in the tournament? Seems like he could have interviewed for those jobs and stayed in Huntsville if none panned out. I've been to Lafayette. It's no better than Huntsville.

    I don't think he wanted to wait out those other schools and the slim chances of landing there, and saw the opportunity to jump when ULL showed him the money.

    It isn't a huge jump, but it's another stepping stone if he wants to coach an even bigger program. More coaches have come from the Sun Belt to bigger conferences than from the Southland.
