A name that came up today in a discussion I had with a booster; and it really made a lot of sense to me, was Bill Clark. Current HC at a UAB.
If UL misses on Brohm, Clark could be a very good backup plan. He has 4 years of HC experience starting with Jacksonville State for 1 year, and the past 3 at UAB. He has a winning overall record of 34-17 with a bowl game, (although they lost it), last year in just his 2nd year at UAB. And this year, UAB is 9-2; 7-0 in CUSA West clinching that division and will play for the CUSA title against FIU. And you have to figure that they WILL play in a bowl game this season.
So, if Brohm does not come to UL, Clark could be a VERY good target for Tyra.
(Oh, and just a little more info; he has deep, deep recruiting ties in talent RICH Alabama, which could be huge in getting top players out of that state; which again, under Schnellenberger was pretty fertile for UL. Especially those players who felt 'looked over' by Bama. And UL can recruit well against Auburn.)
