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 33-10 and in conference competition only, his teams have a 22-5 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 McNeese State Cowboy• How we became Cowboys - the University is named for John McNeese... John McNeese was born on July 4, 1843 to Scottish immigrant parents near Baltimore, Maryland. McNeese was a pioneer in Southwest Louisiana Education, serving as the first superintendent of schools in Impe-rial Calcasieu Parish (1888-1913). After serving in the Union Army during the Civil War, he moved to Menard, Texas seeking a drier climate due to a case of tuberculosis from which he was suffering. Here he was a successful cattle grazer and mercantile businessman. In 1873, he ended up in Imperial Calcasieu when he decided to end his cattle drive to New Orleans via the Old Spanish Trail at the Sabine and sell his cattle that were starving due to the drought. At first he supported himself as a professor of penmanship and music and later established a public school system in the Calcasieu area. While teaching near present-day Oberlin, Loui-siana, he lived with the William Bilbo family. On July 4, 1876, McNeese married William Bilbo’ s daughter, Susan. The couple moved to Lake Charles where McNeese studied law under Judge G. A. Fournet and later attended Tulane Law School. McNeese chose to work in the field of education instead of law, serving on the school board and bringing many in-novations to the Imperial Calcasieu School System. He died in 1913 at the age of 70 and was buried in Oak Grove Cemetery in Lake Charles. - The first mascot of McNeese was a palomino pony named “Mac” secured for the student body by the “Rally Ranglers”. After Mac’s demise, several other ponies took his place. The basketball team chose the cowboy as the mascot in the mid 1940s due to the popularity of rodeos and that the McNeese campus was formerly a farm. Later, the school mascot was a student dressed in cowboy gear riding a horse. In 1982, “Rowdy” was born. The Rowdy costume consists of an over-sized, full-length cowboy with a large hat and exag-gerated features. The costume includes an ice-pack vest and fan in the top of the hat for ventilation. Rowdy was named after Clint Eastwood’s character on the “Rawhide” television show. According to legend, Rowdy was on a cattle drive out west when he stopped in Lake Charles and decided to stay. Rowdy likes to do back-flips, crowd-surf, an ride his trusty ice chest down the hill into the hole at football games.

Dr. Philip C. Williams • President Dr. Philip C. Williams is the sixth president of McNeese State University. He at-tended public schools in Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina and earned his Bachelor of Arts degree in 1974 as a Morehead Scholar at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, graduating with honors in history. He earned his law degree at the Columbia University School of Law in New York City, with a certificate of achievement with honors from the Parker Program in Foreign and International law. During the course of his legal profes-sion, he practiced corporate law and served as administrative vice president and counsel for Sea World, Inc. In 1994, Dr. Williams returned to Chapel Hill to earn his Ph.D. in Health Policy and Administration. Prior to beginning his career in higher education, he served for one year as a post-doctoral research fellow at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia. Most recently he was President of the University of Montevallo in Montevallo, Ala-bama.

- For more than a half century, McNeese State has provided service to its community and state and to the students who seek to secure their future through higher education. McNeese opened its doors in 1939 as Lake Charles Junior College and as a division of the Louisiana State University system. Name changes later were made to John McNeese Junior College (1940) and to McNeese State (1950) when the university separated from LSU. In 1970 the school obtained its present name of McNeese State University. The university presently has an enrollment of 8,294 and has over 300 fulltime faculty members, 66 percent of whom possess the doctoral degree. The university is located on 580 acres in south Lake Charles.

Athletic director Tommy McClelland welcomes the new McNeese State president.

- McNeese was named after John McNeese, a pioneer Southwest Louisiana educator who served as the first superintendent of education in Calcasieu Parish. He was also a cattle rancher and was renowned for making the first cattle drive across the Sabine River, thus the school’s nickname of Cowboys. The University provides opportunities for continuing education in support of its mis-sion to value lifelong learning. As a member of the University of Louisiana System and a selective admissions institution, McNeese offers degrees through six academic colleges: Business, Education, Engineering and Technology, Liberal Arts, Nursing and Science. McNeese’s athletic programs are NCAA certified for competition at the 1-A levels (FCS for football). The University’s motto of “Excellence with a Personal Touch” extends beyond the classroom to offering help to others in times of need. During World War II, the campus was the headquarters of the Louisiana Maneuvers, an extensive military exercise to prepare American soldiers for battle. In 1957 the McNeese community gave aid and comfort to vic-tims of Hurricane Audrey and served as the National Guard’s base of rescue operations. McNeese provided shelter for New Orleans residents and university students fleeing from Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the school faced one of its greatest challenges when Hurricane Rita struck in the fall that same year. The storm caused devastating damage to campus facilities and infrastructure. The recovery effort after Hurricane Rita showed the community of Southwest Louisiana the high caliber of McNeese faculty, staff and students in their commitment to complete the semester and move forward in support of the core values of academic excellence, student success, fiscal responsibility and university/com-munity alliances.

• established in 1939, McNeese State has an enrollment of 8,294. The university is located in Lake Charles, a city with a population of 80,000. The city is located in the Southwest corner of the state, 30 miles north of the Gulf of Mexico and 30 miles east of the Texas-Louisiana border.• In 1993, the Pulitzer Prize for fiction was awarded to Dr. Robert Olen Butler, then a member of the university’s Department of Languages.• Among former McNeese athletes who have gone on to professional stardom have been basketball’s Joe Dumars (Detroit, now president of basketball operations), baseball’s Ray Fontenot (New York Yankees) and football’s Keith Smith (San Francisco and Bryan Smith (Jacksonville).• McNeese is the first public university in the state to offer a concentration in Forensic Chem-istry• McNeese now has seven Senior Fulbright Scholars on its faculty that have traveled to Greece, Finland, Moldova, Romania, Rwanda, China and Korea.• The College of Nursing is nationally accredited by the National League of Nursing and con-tinually has a high passing rate on the nursing licensing examination.• The College of Business has an intership program which places students nationwide.• McNeese offers a degree in Athletic Training.

Louis Bonnette Field at Cowboy Stadium

McNeese State debuted its new GeoMax2 infilled “replicated grass” playing field in 2008. The project was financed by longtime uni-versity supporter Robert Noland (pictured below and second from right in the near picture) and at his request the field was named the Louis Bonnette field in honor of the school’s longtime sports in-


formation director. GSE Geo-Sport Surfaces, which is the largest geo-synthetics manu-facturer in the world and the inventors of all rubber infill “replicated grass” installed the turf. McNeese booster clubs - the Cowboy Club, the Quarterback Club and the Petrochem Athletic Associa-tion - provided ad-ditional funding for the project.

His two field goals carried the Cowboys to this victory over Tulsa and for the entire season, Stumps kicking would provide the winning points in four other games. McNeese would go on to post an 11-0 (only the second in school history at that point) regular season record and play in the Independence Bowl.

McNeese State’s Dowell “Doc” Fontenot Sports Medicine Center is an ultra-modern facility and one of the finest in the South. It is named after longtime McNeese athletic trainer Dowell Fontenot (pictured above) who was also a national champion boxer during his undergraduate days at the university and who is a member of the McNeese Hall of Fame. The center is located just south of the McNeese athletic fieldhouse. Funds for the 6,200 square foot medical center were obtained from the state, from private donations and from the McNeese PetroChem Athletic Association.

The athletic academic center pro-vides academic, educational, career and personal support for the more than 300 student athletes at Mc-Neese State University. The goal of the academic center is to assist in the development of every student athlete while providing he or she with the skills necessary for success both on the field and in the class-room. Student athletes have access to tutors, computers, individualized study areas and group study oppor-tunities. Deb Kingrey (pictured at right) is the academic advisor for the athletic department.

The new weight room will encompass 8,000 square feet and will be furnished with the newest Ham-mer Strength machines and weights. The facility is named in honor of McNeese State’s first football all-American who is pictured above.

A new Jack Doland athletic fieldhouse is under construction and will be ready by June of 2011. This is a two story $8 million facility with new locker rooms, weight rooms, meeting rooms and offices as well as seated area for football games. The building will encompass 32,000 square feet.

McNeese State University is located in Lake Charles, LA, a city with a romatic past and a promising future. Situated in Southwest Louisiana and only 30 miles from the Gulf of Mexico, the area’s scenic beauty and abundant natural resources - with waterways playing a predominate role - first lured settlers. Lake Charles was once a haven for pirates like Jean Lafitte who hid contraband along the labyrinth of backwater and bayous. The city’s beginning can be traced to the 1790s when the first French settlers came to carve homesteads out of the dense pine forests. Barthlemy LeBleu established the first home six miles east of Lake Charles (now known as LeBleu settlement). Charles Sallier married LeBleu’s daughter and in 1803 built the first log cabin on the shell beach of Lake Charles. The surrounding area was named after the Indian Chief “Crying Eagle” which in French became Calcasieu, that name today designating the river that runs on the edge of the city and up the middle of the par-ish. After the Civil War, Lake Charles became a lumber town with a healthy schooner trade, swamped with orders for lumber to help rebuild the war torn South. When lumber began to wane, the city opened a deep water port in 1923, paving the way for industrial development. Today this link to the Gulf accomodates up to 13 ships at a time. Lake Charles is a city of 80,000 diverse people but the influence of the French Acadians is seen in local cusine, language and customs. In many of the small towns and bayous near Lake Charles, Cajun Fench is still spoken. The city is a center for international commerce with its port, abundant oil and gas resources, a sprawling petro-chemical complex and an avia-tion facility. It has also become a favorite vacation port with riverboat casinos bordering its waters. The city is set in the midst of a sportsman paradise - fishing (saltwater and fresh), hunting (duck, geese, deer, squirrel, rabbit, turkey), shrimping and crabbing are staples.

McNeese is now the longest standing member of the league and during the 38 years the Cowboys have been in the conference, they have won 13 league football cham-pionships, a conference record. The SLC receives an automatic bid to the FCS (football championship series) playoffs and the Cowboys have been to the playoffs a conference record 14 times (sixth longest tenure in the nation). McNeese has appeared in the national champi-onship game twice (2002 and 1997). This season the Southland Conference will join with the city of Frisco, TX and the Hunt Sports Group will serve as the host for the NCAA Division I football championship game, that to take place at Pizza Hut Park in Frisco.
