NEW ORLEANS — Sun Belt Conference commissioner Keith Gill did not need to do a lot of convincing with the league’s football coaches at the conference’s annual Football Media Day Thursday.
Gill enumerated how Sun Belt football has made huge strides over the past few years during his opening “State of the Conference” address, but the league's 10 head coaches did not need to hear that. The seven returning coaches had experienced it first-hand, and the three new coaching faces picked up on that message quickly.
“This was always a very, very strong conference,” said first-year ULM head coach Terry Bowden.
