Infrequently Asked Questions.... Who is the coach for McNeese State? Why, it's Matt Viator, who in his fifth season is 35-13 (not bad) and has won 3 Southland Conference championships and has had the Cowboys in the FCS championship series in three of his four years. His Dad was a player and coach at McNeese, and he is a McNeese State graduate. Is McNeese State ranked? Why, yes - they are #28 in the FCS currently, but started the season ranked #13. Meh - add your own. I kinda ran out of steam. :lol: :nope:
And a great guy. I know Matt, we were at McNeese at the same time. He won a State title while at Jennings too.
And the question that anyone who doesn't live in Louisiana, or didn't go to a school or fan of a school that has played McNeese. Where the Hell is McNeese State? The only cool place in Lake Charles, other than that Daquiri trailer on Ryan Street. Just kidding Lake Charles folk.
