Meet Matt Viator, New ULM Head Coach
Bruce Thorson-USA TODAY SportsThe Louisiana native is the new head man for the Warhawks. Who is he, and what can we expect from him?
Right after Todd Berry was let go from ULM, I put together a list of a few names to look for in the ULM coaching search. I was blindly throwing darts at an imaginary dart board, but Matt Viator, 52, was on there. It just seemed like too obvious of a fit.
Viator has basically spent his whole life in Louisiana, first coaching at a few different prep schools, then returning to his alma mater, McNeese State, as a linebackers coach in 1999. The next season he was promoted to offensive coordinator, and in 2006 got the head job.
