JONESBORO — Walt Bell went into detail Friday about his brief courtship with Louisiana-Monroe as it seeks to fill its vacant head-coaching position and said he decided to remain Arkansas State offensive coordinator because it “wasn’t the right job at the right time.”
Reports began to surface Thursday that Bell, in his second season at ASU, had been offered the Warhawks’ head-coaching job. The position has been vacant since Todd Berry was fired hours after the team lost to ASU 59-21 on Nov. 14. The Monroe (La.) News-Star reported Thursday that Bell turned down the offer on Thursday morning.
