The Louisiana–Monroe Warhawks football (also referred to as the ULM Warhawks, formerly as the Northeast Louisiana Indians) program is a college football team that represents the University of Louisiana at Monroe (ULM).
With a history dating back to 1931, ULM currently competes in the NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision as a member of the Sun Belt Conference. The Warhawks currently play their home games at Malone Stadium, located on ULM's campus in Monroe, Louisiana.
The Warhawks have a history of upsetting teams from the Southeastern Conference, including Kentucky in 1994, Mississippi State in 1995, Alabama in 2007 and Arkansas in 2012.
The Warhawks played in their first ever FBS bowl game on Dec. 28, 2012 in the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, Louisiana, losing 45–14 to the Ohio Bobcats.
What is now Louisiana–Monroe originally competed as a junior college from 1931 through 1950. In 1951 the Indians completed their first season in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) as Northeast Louisiana State College. The team's head coach was James L. Malone, who compiled a record of 12–15 in three seasons. Malone resigned after the 1953 season, and Malone Stadium where the team currently plays it's home games was named in his honor.
Succeeding Malone was Devone Payne, who coached Northeast Louisiana for three seasons, from 1954-1957. His record was 15–22–1.
The program's third head coach was Jack Rowan, who led the team to a 20–37 record in six seasons.
