Bearkat 41 of KatFans.com (http://katfans.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11031) is reporting that Todd Whitten will take over the offense at Lamar.
Whitten took over the helm of the SHSU program in 2005 and served as the head coach through 2009. He had previously served as a head coach at Tarleton State, in addition to stints on the staff at Wyoming and Texas Tech. Whitten is one of the top quarterbacks in Stephen F. Austin history.
Whitten is a good fit for the position, considering one of his assistants was the offensive coordinator at Lamar (Tommy Mainord), prior to Mainord's departure to Texas Tech. Ray Woodard wanted to keep the same offense and this was the way to do it.
The former Bearkat head coach had also talked to Todd Dodge regarding his OC job at North Texas, before taking the Lamar position.
