Coaching Staff


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)

The most successful active coach in the Southland Conference, McNeese State’s Matt Viator can count three league titles and two runnerup finishes in his five seasons as the Cowboys head coach. He’s also become one of the most successful coaches in the NCAA’s FCS division, his overall record being an outstanding 39-15 and his league mark an even better 27-7. Viator has guided the Cowboys to a Southland Conference football championship and into the NCAA Division I championship three times, 2006, 2007 and 2009. 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. The Cowboy coach, a graduate of McNeese, 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. That was the start of one of the most electrifying coaching rises in conference history. Viator has earned numerous coaching honors in-cluding two SLC coach of the year awards and a Louisi-ana 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. His 6-2 rookie record included a 5-1 mark in league play, the team winning the final five league games of the year.

A year ago his squad won four of its last five games for a run-nerup finish in the conference stand-ings. Also, his teams have been ranked in the top 25 national poll four of the last five seasons. Prior to his becoming head coach, Viator had served the univer-sity 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 Conference’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 in 2009, 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 leading the league in both scoring offense and total offense that year.

- 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 8,900 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.- 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

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.

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.

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.

Charles Kuehn Weight Room at Jack Doland Field House

The new Charles Kuehn Weight Room at the Jack Doland Field Housse was outfitted by Life Fitness Company and Hammer Strength Company who made the 8,000 square foot room a show-case weight facility. Weights are painted in platinum and blue and there are16 Mondo enlayed plat-forms for heavy weight work, one of only eight schools in the nation to have this. The weight room also includes: 16 multi-purpose racks, 80,000 pounds of weights (McNeese logo on the weights), nine 52 inch flat screen television sets, mirrors all the way around, two treadmills, two elliptical machines, a stationary bike and a $12,000 surround sound system do-nated by Scott Bailey and Bailey Audio. A 12 foot McNeese logo sets off the room from the center floor. The facility is named in honor of McNeese State’s first football all-Ameri-can who is pictured below.


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.

Jack Doland Field HouseThe new Jack Doland athletic fieldhouse opened during the summer. 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 encompasses 32,000 square feet.
