About the UniversityMcNeese State is located in Lake Charles, LA, a city of 80,000 in the Southwest part of Louisiana. McNeese was established in 1939 as a junior college and a division of the Louisiana State University system. It later broke away becoming McNeese State. the school is named for John McNeese, the first superintendent of education in Calcasieu Parish (the parish in which Lake Charles is located). The school mascot is the Cowboy and was derived from the fact that John McNeese was also a cattle rancher and was renowned for making the first cattle drive across the Sabine River (the river that separates Louisiana and Texas).

McNeese is a coed university with an enrollment of 8,645. Dr. Philip C. Williams serves as the president and Tommy McClelland is the athletic director.

The schools of study for the university are: the Arts, Sciences, Engineering/Technology, Nursing, Education, Business and the Graduate School.

Among the many former McNeese State athletes who have gone on to professional stardom are: Joe Dumars in basketball (now president of the Detroit Pistons), Leonard Smith (Buffalo, St. Lou-is) and Zack Bronson (San Francisco) in football and Ray Fon-tenot (New York Yankees) and Ben Broussard (Cleveland Indians) in baseball.

Matt ViatorHead Coach

In four seasons, Matt Viator has become one of the most successful coaches in the NCAA’s FCS division. He has guided the Cowboys to a Southland Conference football championship and into the NCAA Division I championship in three of his four years as head coach at McNeese State. His 2007 team posted only the fourth undefeated, untied regular season record in the university’s history, won the league title for a second year and participated in the NCAA FCS championship for a second straight year. His 2006 and his 2009 squads also won league titles and participated in the playoffs.

Viator had taken over the head job four games deep into the 2006 season, went 6-2 the rest of the way, won the SLC title and put his team into the NCAA FCS championship. His coaching record is an outstanding 39-15 and in conference competition only, his teams have a 27-7 mark. Viator has earned numerous coaching honors includ-ing two SLC coach of the year awards and a Louisiana collegiate coach of the year honor. He has also been a finalist for the national Eddie Robinson award twice. He claimed his first collegiate coaching victory in his very first game as head coach when the Cowboys posted a 30-27 win over Southern Utah in 2006. Viator is the 14th head coach in McNeese history. He was 6-2 in his first season and 5-1 in league play, winning the final five league games of the year.

The Southland’s Winningest Active Coach

• SLC Coach of the Year (2006, 2007)• Louisiana Coach of the Year (2006)• Eddie Robinson Coach of Year Finalist (2006, 2007)• SLC Titles (2006, 2007, 2009)

Prior to his becoming head coach, Viator, who is a graduate of McNeese, had served the uni-versity as offensive coordinator and is regarded as one of the top Division I offensive minds. The Cowboys have ranked among the national leaders in offense for eight of the past 10 years and the university has also produced the Southland Confer-

ence’s top offensive performer four of the last seven seasons. His offenses have led the league in scoring five times and in 2008 set school records for total offense per game, passing offense per game and scoring average per game. The Cowboys had the nation’s leading scorer last year, tailback Toddrick Pendland. Before he joined McNeese, Viator was one of the top prep coaches in Louisiana, producing an 81-37 won-lost record, winning one state crown and five league titles. He joined McNeese in 1999 as linebacker coach and was made offensive coordinator in 2000, the Cowboys lead-ing the league in both scoring offense and total offense that year.
