Sam Houston is down to six candidates for its head coach opening, sources tell Dave Campbell’s Texas Football. The Bearkats plan to announce the decision prior to their appearance in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl against Georgia Southern on Dec. 19 with it most likely becoming public on Monday or Tuesday of next week.
The six finalists for the job are Shawn Bell, Matt Powledge, Phil Longo, Tim Daoust, Ra’Shaad Samples, and Curtis Luper. Sam Houston athletic director Bobby Williams and the decision makers at Sam are expected to host in-person interviews with a few of those candidates this week ahead of the ultimate decision.
