I will give you that, with one caveat, I don't remember Grey Giovanni talking big.  He was pretty much small time.  Great guy though.  Liked him a lot.
[/quote]Forgot about Grey. Where is he now?

Giovanne is at Augustana -last I heard - and last I heard he was pretty successful there and also coaching the Golf team.
[/quote]

Giovanne is at Augustana.  Has compiled a record there of 199 - 89 = .691.  He has had 4 conference championships in his 11 seasons there with three of them in a row '06-'07-'08.  Augustana is a NCAA DIV III college.

At Lamar Grey's 6 season record was 80 - 85 = .485.

In his 17 year career as a "Head" his record is 279 - 174 = .615

And he does coach golf when it is is season.

Sounds (and looks) to me like he is enjoying what he's doing and where he's doing it.

And he is really a great guy!!! No kidding!  Probably the best overall person we have had on the LU coaching staff.  Tubbs is still my favorite coach at LU! :)

[/quote]Dare I say "last I heard" he had resigned after the 2009-2010 as head coach of Arkansas Monticello Boll Weavils (D2 -UCA's old conference).  His star player for part of that time was Nate Newell--remember him?  He was just over .500 while there.

Oh man, I didn't realize anyone else remembered that!!  He loved to set the bar low!!  He thought it was awesome if he had a .500 record in conference!

I know y'all are skeptical, and rightfully so, BUT: I like his swagger. I want to see LU play all D-1 schools too. A win (or worse, a loss!) against a Central Nowhere State or Wossamotta U doesn't do anything for the program.  Playing D-1 schools will help fill seats, win or lose.

No, being a bad coach will send you there.

Actually, Newell is probably the only good coach we hired since Foster (other than Tubbs).  The guy could definitely recruit.  So what if he left a player somewhere...the kid should have been on the bus!

This is a great thing for Lamar, especially if he can get two-for-ones with power conference teams. I can bet Lamar gets plenty of people in the stands and just imagine if they find a way to win one of those games? You have a better chance to beat these teams by actually scheduling them, rather than not playing them at all ;)

Good luck to Pat Knight, and I hope this all works out for him
