Bobby Staub, the former senior associate athletic director at the University of Alabama Birmingham , was announced as the ULM ’s new athletic director on June 30. Staub replaces Bruce Hanks, who announced his resignation in March after 3 years at the post. Staub will begin in early August.

“The chemistry is right with Bobby,” said President James Cofer. “We are very pleased to have a person of his caliber join our staff. We wanted to be sure he had plenty of time to make the right decision for him, his family, and ULM . This is another step in the effort to move ULM athletics and academics forward.”
