Why is Jerry Stovall being inducted? What's his claim to fame to be in this class? The article only says he was Tech's AD and LSU's head coach for a while. I didn't know just being employed was a valid reason for Hall of Fame status.

Stovall did finish runner-up in the Heisman one year and he is from West Monroe. Guess that's why he is being inducted. Now, if you are a Tech fan exclusively, he would not even have been considered from his dismal time as AD at Tech. George Stone lived down the hall from me in Mitchell Hall in 1965 and 1966. Good guy. I loved watching him shoot that left handed set shot back in the day and watching him pitch.

IMO Stovall was only the LA Tech AD as a favor by Dan Reneau for political influence in Baton Rouge. Stovall was worthless as an AD. I hope to see a person who truly loves and cares about Louisiana Tech run our athletics department one day, instead of these people who so obviously see it only as a "step to help me move up to my next job".
