Louisiana Orphan Train Rider, Joe Aillet, was a coach at Louisiana Tech from 1940 to 1966 and is widely regarded as one of the most successful and influential figures in the school’s sports history. His influence goes beyond just football through his contributions to the overall development of the school’s culture and spirit.
We enjoyed our recent visit to Louisiana Tech University and Joe Aillet Stadium in honor of this Hall of Fame Coach.
Thanks for the North Louisiana hospitality!
