Last week, I mentioned seven candidates for the opening at North Alabama. I have now heard that four of them have advanced to the next round and will have / have had on campus interviews. The four names that I’ve heard are that have advanced are: Larry Cordaro – head coach LSU Alexandria (also interviewed at Nicholls State), Philip Pearson – former associate head coach Alabama, Tony Pujol – assistant coach Wyoming, and James Strong – assistant coach Belmont. There may be one more in this group as well.

It sounds like UNA will offer at least a five-year deal in the $150,000/yr. range. A decision could be made here shortly.
