I was fortunate to coach and experience the great state and especially the City of Lafayette.

I was the Offensive Line Coach and Offensive Coordinator ’92 through 1998. I was also the founder and director of the Cajun Coaching Clinic in 1992 until 1998 and I believe they still have the clinic. When Coach Stokley resigned; I returned to where I had played and was the Offensive Line Coach at Baylor until 2003 in ’03 I moved into my current position. Our Network is Alumni-Letter Winner based – We work with The Athletic Department and the University for all Engagement Activities. Please-if anyone was there around the time I was tell them Hello!
