A-States Walt Bell Turns Down ULM's HC Job

[Seminole Indian]

After turning down the OC position at North Carolina to join Anderson at A-State, he apparently had to make another tough decision:

"Arkansas State assistant head coach, offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Walt Bell has turned down an offer to be Louisiana-Monroe's new head coach, according to a source."

Was widely reported to be one of two finalist for the job.

Interesting that Rhett Lashlee, the Auburn OC that interviewed for the A-State HC job, also interviewed for the ULM job.

Anderson's assistants have turned down SEC and Big 12 jobs, and now a HC gig, and it is sure not for the money, although they pay 'ok' for a G5.

Anderson said today so far four of his assistants have been offered jobs for more money since the TxSt Game and all have decided to stay. Last year five were offered jobs and stayed.

If things go as expected next year, don't expect this trend to continue.

I really admire loyalty to others and to the program.
