Louisiana Tech has appointed offensive coordinator Frank Scelfo to be its interim football coach and formed a committee to find a full-time replacement for Derek Dooley.

Dooley left the Bulldogs on Friday to take over as head coach at Tennessee. Dooley also was Louisiana Tech's athletic director.

Louisiana Tech president Dan Reneau said deputy athletic director Bruce Van De Velde will be the acting athletic director and chair the search committee.

Louisiana Tech Athletic Council Chairman James Liberatos and Athletic Council member Steve Davison are also on the committee.
