Hearing rumors that a Louisiana High School Coach is being linked to the Louisiana College job that was just vacated by Justin Charles. Anyone else hear this? Or is it just rumors?

Obviously it must be someone who is alumni or played/coached for the program in the past.

This is from another LC thread by (highprofilename) More money ain’t the case here. LC is just a ship wreck with the administration. Heard the President there has been out for him for the past 2 years. ....What’s crazy is, LC is about to lose an amazing coach over personal feeling and whoever gets Charles is about to rise to the top. But Menard paying more money for their head coach than LC is paying is ridiculous. I’d like to see him at Menard, I’m sure some area coaches will be squirming due to “recruiting” lol.

From what I could dig up the only head coaches that are alumni of Louisiana College Don’t have much college coaching experience or would probably not want to leave their current post but I believe Dennis Dunn was kind of in the same boat when he left Evangel some years back: Stan Smith Ferriday P.J. Sprunk Kenner Disc Justin Webb Northwood Ryan Gregory Oak Grove Stephen Dennis. Huntington

But having college exp is not a requirement to coach college ball at LC if you played in the program. If the said individual has previously demonstrated an ability to grow a HS program at current location then that is mute point fballfanatic1. Its all relative guy

There is also Brian Wallace who is at Nichols and Lance Stone who is in Arkanasas I beleive.
Any allum would have went through the program with Charles (he was there for 20 yrs as a player and coach). They will know the reallity of the situation and not go near it.
Really....almost every school in Pineville/Alexandria is coached by an LC football alumn...except Louisiana College

I mean do you like to coach ball or recruit? That is the main thing with college coaching.......the non stop recruiting. Certainly someone who can recruit and grow a program at the high school level can recruit at the next level, especially LC. Some high school positions are way easier than building up a small college like LC. Plus, you gotta be political at some level concerning alumni fundraising and dealing with the admin that already ran a good coach/recruiter (a good young black professional) out the door! That in itself may still have blow back yet to occur. Idk. What do you think fballfanatic1?

After allowing a good young Coach to walk it could definitely rub some applicants the wrong way. Whoever it is has got to be able to not only obviously have a great football mind but more importantly have to be able to build a solid reputation with recruits all while trying to bring the Lc program to the next step. I think any of these guys we mentioned could fill that role. Gregory has done a fantastic job building upon the success OG had/has Sprunk has begun to build something serious over there in Kenner from the ground up. Dennis and Webb are continuing to change the culture at their respective programs. Smith is coming off of a state championship victory and Bachman has had some success and is currently in the Cenla area. If any of this is legit any of these guys I think would do a good job. Don’t know if I could pick one in particular off top my head Bachman or Sprunk.. I guess haha

The LC job is a death trap! The guy they are looking at and who is really interested in the job is an Alum, not listed in the previous post... I’ll say this, he ain’t ready. The administration at LC is looking for someone that is going to be their little “go boy, yes man” and the guy that’s gonna take this job is an for doing it. He just wants a head coaching title on his resume and he’s gonna sell his soul to do so. It’s a very bad time at Louisiana College. This guy has maybe 5 years coaching experience and is about to be that “yes man”
They ran off Dennis Dunn (who resurged the program) and Justin Charles (DC during resurgence, alumni, and there 20 years). 2 great coaches and men... People need to read between the lines for this job. LC needs to either give that program what they need or shut the door on the program. But if they won’t give Dunn or Charles what they need, they aren’t giving it to no one.
Mark these words, LC is about to make a really bad hire if they hire this alum that’s only been coaching a few years. It may kill the institution. The Football Alumni have backed off the program the moment Charles resigned... I know this because I’m one of those alumni that’s been watching my alma mater die because of this Admin.

I don't think Bachman would be likely. LC's OC McLaughlin just left LC to be Bachman's OC at ASH so I don't think Bachman would go to LC. I don't believe Gregory or Sprunk would be likely either. Someone who is already on staff wouldn't be surprising. This being Cenla of course Dunbar will come up in the conversation and it could be a possibility, has some LC connections. The president has connections in South Carolina so that could be possible as well but I think it would be unlikely. LC has some alumni coaching at other colleges as mentioned before and one of them could be the guy looking for their first HC job and where better to start at the ole alma mater. Darrin Moore wouldn't be surprising at all even though his only HC experience is False River and Pineville and he didn't find a lot of success. Someone who I would love to see would be Jason Bachtel, the OC at ETBU. He is a rising star and the ETBU offense has been excellent as we have seen when they drub LC, but that wont happen. If I had to guess, this will be a medium to short hire time with someone uninspiring being hired.

Wow I had no idea it was this bad over there. In that case I’m glad it’s none of these coaches. I don’t know all of them personally but Gregory, Bachman, and Sprunk are all solid young coaches and would hate for them to step in and set themselves up for failure. Hope things can get turned around up there.

That is pretty interesting. I have not heard of the guy you may be talking about. I actually heard the name of another Central Louisiana head football coach that is not an LC alum. He would be an interesting hire but doubt that he would leave his current situation . I hope that LC can somehow right the ship but it is going to take more than a Homerun coaching hire to fix the football program .

I do hate to bash a place that I graduated from and want the best but this is a very bad situation. Football alumni at LC, boosters, etc. has seriously backed away. You’re correct a Homerun coach is not gonna help at LC. McLaughlin left at the semester, who is someone that would be great HC there and he won’t touch it because he knows what’s going on there. They are asked to bring in 30% of the freshmen class every year, which gives them 160+ players each year then their budget is cut every year. Terrible assistant coach pay. No GA’s. No academic help from admin. There is a lawsuit waiting to happen with the turf that is terribly out of date that admin has been over looking. AD is the HC of basketball and has no clue how to lead. Players don’t get excused absences when they participate in a travel for athletics, they get penalized. Dorms are terrible. And the school is in a budget crisis worse than ever! Why would anyone do that? Someone who is about to be a “yes man” and kiss a lot of tail, all for the HC title.

All Acurate....from what I can tell none of these alumni are interested...and view the administration as killers of thier program. The best bet is for an outside hire with small school knowledge. But even for that you are going to have to go out of region I would think....any coach in the ASC has seen how stagnant the programs development has become. And anyone with the knowledge and will power to get teh job done will quickly hit the brick ceiling the administration continues to build over it. Southern Baptist are not real keen on being told what they are doing wrong, which is how we got here to begin with.
