***Special thanks to KEEL Radio’s Erin McCarty and Mike Martindale; to Tony Taglavore (shreveportbossierjournal.com) for his excellent 2024 feature story about Larry Ryan, and to Twin Blends: Northwest Louisiana History Hunters’ Facebook page for a few photos in today’s story. I had the pleasure of working as a part-time announcer for Larry Ryan nearly 50 years ago. During the early 1960’s, Larry Ryan may have heard the phrase “You’re fired!” more times than cartoon’s George Jetson did from his boss, Mr. Spacely. The young radio announcer had bounced around from one radio market to another in search of a few extra dollars per week. This 26-year old disk jockey was offered a $25/week raise to move to Shreveport, Louisiana and begin working the evening shift at Top 40 radio station KEEL 710AM in 1964. For more than 60 years, Shreveport, Bossier City and Ark-La-Tex region have embraced “Lovable” Larry Ryan and his immense radio creativity and talent. Last Friday, Ryan’s most recent Shreveport radio station employer (which played “The Greatest Hits of All Time” oldies format) abruptly advised him and his morning crew that their long-time popular morning show was being canceled. Effective immediately. The FM station was recently acquired by a new owner. They wanted to go in a different direction with their 6-9AM morning show. Though it had been awhile, Larry Ryan was quite familiar with hearing that line again. Today, Larry Ryan’s first radio station employer in Shreveport brought him back on the air to provide him with a very dignified way to say, “Good bye” to his legions of loyal radio listeners. The final hour of Wednesday’s News/Talk 710 KEEL morning show featuring Erin McCarty and Mike Martindale was filled with tributes to the area’s radio broadcasting legend. Shreveport mayor Tom Arceneaux and Bossier City mayor Tommy Chandler each read proclamations making it “Larry Ryan Day” in both cities (February 11, 2026). How did Iowa native Larry Ryan become so beloved in Shreveport, LA? Larry Ryan is a native of Marshalltown, Iowa – just northeast of Des Moines. After a one year stint at what is now Northern Iowa University, he joined the Air Force. If he thought it was cold in Iowa during the winter, Larry Ryan found himself stationed in frigid Minot, North Dakota. That’s when he knew it was time to leave the Air Force and find a real job. He would become a radio announcer (DJ, if you prefer) who worked at stations in Iowa, Arkansas, Alabama, and Virginia prior to receiving an offer to work the evening shift at AM powerhouse KEEL Radio in Shreveport. Larry reminded listeners today that he also brought along his long-time girlfriend, Suzy. They were married in Marshall, Texas upon his arrival in Shreveport. More about Suzy Ryan in a bit. Larry Ryan’s evening show became a huge hit with the younger audience. He interacted with callers, had fun doing creative “live” spots for sponsors, and even created funny comedy song features such as “Hide The Booze” (performed to the instrumental version of “The Can-Can Song”). It wasn’t long before Larry Ryan was promoted to become KEEL’s morning show host. The 50,000 watt daytime signal of KEEL AM stretches from Texarkana to the north and southward through northeastern Texas and western and central Louisiana down I-49 to Lafayette. “Lovable” Larry Ryan’s morning show beginning in the mid-1960’s featured Top 40 rock and roll hits along with topics of local interest. Talented radio newsmen like Ken Booth and Scott Hodges, syndicated commentator Paul Harvey, and a very unlikely local weatherman added more flavor to this increasingly popular show. This morning, Larry recounted that KEEL’s morning newsman Ken Booth did not like being asked to read the weather at the end of his local newscasts. KEEL’s co-located FM affiliate KMBQ was playing automated reel-to-reel tapes of beautiful music. Larry quickly grabbed the FM station’s young audio operator named Ralph Montgomery and said, “Get in here! I want you to come read the weather on the air for me – now!” Ryan introduced his nervous and totally unprepared 6:05AM weather man to KEEL’s massive audience. “And now…the effervescent…Mr. Weather!” Ralph Montgomery somehow made it through that first weather forecast and won a 50+year radio co-hosting role alongside of Larry Ryan. Mr. Weather’s unique sense of humor always seemed to tickle Larry’s funny bone. It was pure radio magic Larry Ryan & Mr. Weather became the foundation for KEEL’s incredible radio ratings success for the next decade. KEEL’s morning show captured an unheard-of 50% of the total radio audience as both youngsters and their parents were fans of the show. Larry became KEEL’s program director and hired a number of extremely talented on-air personalities to work at other times of the day. Howard Clark, Steve Kelly, Tommy Kramer, Ronald F. Montgomery (no relation to Ralph “Mr. Weather” Montgomery) and many others graduated to work at major market radio stations after being mentored by Larry Ryan at KEEL in Shreveport. Producing a top-notch commercial for clients is very important for radio stations. The creative voice and production talents of Larry Ryan and his team of announcers was in high demand for producing effective commercials on behalf of local, regional and national ad agencies. Larry’s wife, Suzy, became involved in selling radio advertising for KEEL. She possessed a sincere belief in the effectiveness of the station’s primary product – especially her husband’s top-rated radio show. Suzy remained laser-focused on business and supported Larry’s creative talent behind the microphone. The duo’s business acumen translated into solid income for their soon-to-be growing family. After Suzy became pregnant with each of the couple’s two children (Corey and Casey), Larry frequently brought Suzy on the air to talk about how she had been feeling. Their willingness to share such personal details over the air further endeared the couple to thousands of KEEL’s adult listeners. Larry Ryan played sports in high school and brought his love of sports to Shreveport Ryan formed the KEEL “Dirty Dribblers” basketball team and the KEEL “Nasty Nine” softball team. The basketball team featured a few of the radio announcers but included legitimate sports talent such as former Northwestern State University basketball player-turned-media advertising specialist Al LeGrand. The KEEL Dirty Dribblers and Nasty Nine softball teams played dozens of fund-raising games against the teachers and coaches at area schools. The goodwill resulting from those charity games served to reinforce the personal bond between the radio station’s listeners and “Lovable” Larry Ryan’s radio team. By 1974, the World Football League had started a new pro football league. This came a few years after the American Football League had successfully merged with the NFL in 1970. The new WFL franchise located in Houston was already failing in Year #1. Larry Ryan took to the air expressing his firm belief that Shreveport and Bossier City (with about 350,000 residents) was quite capable of supporting the Houston WFL franchise – assuming it could be moved to Shreveport. Within weeks of Ryan’s daily on-air encouragement to local businesses and governmental leaders, the WFL’s Houston Texans (that was their name!) moved the franchise to Shreveport midway through the initial football season. The Shreveport Steamer of the World Football League was born. A local crowd of more than 21,000 attended the Steamer’s first home game against Memphis in September, 1974. Though Shreveport’s attendance remained solid, the WFL folded midway through its second season in 1975 under mounting financial pressures. Around this time, Larry and Suzy Ryan were offered a chance to buy another local radio station in Shreveport. Unlike KEEL’s 50,000 watt signal, local station KBCL’s signal was just 250 watts and operated on a daytime-only frequency. The duo took the plunge anyway. They built a top-notch on-air and sales staff and pursued FCC approval to relocate the radio station onto a frequency with 24-hour capability. Talented on-air personalities like Randy Davis (who enjoyed a long career in New York City), K.C. Daniels, Howard Jennings Hart, and Larry “Charlie” Monk joined the staff. Current FOX Sports football and basketball broadcaster Tim Brando also worked for Larry Ryan at KBCL prior to moving to a larger radio market and into his future television career. Though this under-powered AM radio station’s ratings were quite impressive, the inability to obtain a 24-hour operating frequency from the FCC, a declining local employment market, and the rise of FM competition forced the Ryans to return to their radio roots in the early 1980’s. Bringing it forward Larry Ryan would work for another 40 years (!) in the Shreveport area at various radio stations. He spent most of the past few decades playing 70’s and 80’s music formats for his faithful listeners. Ralph “Mr. Weather” Montgomery began a career in another field, but his employer allowed him to work early mornings with his long-time partner, too. Long-time friend and sales pro Al LeGrand stuck with Larry, too. Al provided sports commentary for Ryan’s morning shows and enjoyed participating in some of the on-air hijinks until retiring several years ago. LeGrand built a very successful media advertising agency in Shreveport. Larry’s one-woman dynamo wife, Suzy Ryan, proudly formed her own media advertising agency. She would (of course) provide sales support for Larry’s successful radio programs. The Ryans’ two children would also enter the media business after completing their education. Sadly, Larry Ryan’s beloved wife and life partner, Suzy, passed away in 2013. Larry has (at least until last Friday) continued to work his morning radio show for a local FM station. Interviewed two years ago, Larry Ryan (now in his 80’s) knew that his time behind the microphone would eventually come to an end. In that print interview in 2024, Larry Ryan said, “I’ve done good. I’ve been nationally recognized, which really doesn’t mean that much other than ego. That has never been part of my being. I had fun!” And so have we! Thank you for six decades of terrific memories, Lovable Larry! The post Celebrating Lovable Larry Ryan’s 60-year Shreveport Radio Career appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

Tuesday’s surprising news came out of Steel City in western Pennsylvania. Mike Tomlin stepped down as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. It’s hard to believe that the 53-year old Tomlin had been the top man in Pittsburgh for 19 seasons. There have been only three Pittsburgh Steelers head coaches since the National Football League merged with the American Football League 55 years ago in 1970. Steelers head coach Chuck Noll started his head coaching career in Pittsburgh in 1969 by going 1-13. His second season brought a 5-9 mark in 1970 and then just 6-8 in 1971. In today’s NFL, most other NFL teams would have fired future Hall-of-Fame Coach Chuck Noll after three years on “Black Monday” last week. You must win NOW, because fans and social media are all about instant gratification today. The Steelers transformed from an NFL laughing stock to 6-time Super Bowl champions Coach Chuck Noll’s fourth year 1972 Steelers (led by Louisiana Tech quarterback Terry Bradshaw and a host of impressive young draft picks) turned Pittsburgh into a winner by going 11-3. The talented young Steelers lost in the AFC championship game that year to the last NFL team to complete an unbeaten season – the 1972 Miami Dolphins. From that point, the 1970’s “Super Steelers” went on to win four Super Bowl titles in just six seasons. The NFL franchise in Pittsburgh had never captured a single NFL title since the team began in 1933. Coach Chuck Noll’s teams transformed the image of the Pittsburgh Steelers from lovable losers to a tough band of black-and-gold monsters on the football field. Noll put in 23 seasons as the Steelers’ head coach before handing the baton to Bill Cowher in 1992. Coach Cowher’s Steelers added the team’s fifth Super Bowl title (“One for the thumb”) in 2005. The very intense Bill Cowher retired after the 2006 season after 15 years of NFL success in Pittsburgh. Mike Tomlin took the reins in Pittsburgh in 2007 The 34-year old former defensive coordinator with the Minnesota Vikings immediately bonded with his new team and its very boisterous loyal fans. Like Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher, Mike Tomlin’s college and NFL coaching experience had been on the defensive side of the football. Did you know that Mike Tomlin (the college football player) was a 2nd team All-Conference wide receiver at the College of William & Mary in Virginia? He became a defensive backs coach upon entering the coaching profession. Mike Tomlin’s Steelers quickly added Pittsburgh’s sixth Super Bowl trophy in 2008. This endeared the team’s new coach to millions of Terrible Towel waving Steelers fans around the world. Mike Tomlin’s Steelers reached the big game once again in 2010 but lost 31-25 to (ironically) Super Bowl MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Ironically, the now 42-year old Aaron Rodgers signed to play quarterback for Coach Tomlin’s Steelers this past season. Rodgers led Pittsburgh to a 10-7 regular season record. The Steelers were embarrassed 30-6 – at home – by the Houston Texans on Monday night in the wild-card round. Less than one day after Monday night’s ugly loss to Houston, Coach Mike Tomlin elected to voluntarily step down as the Steelers’ head coach Tuesday afternoon. He finished with 193 regular season wins. That tied him with former Steelers coaching legend Chuck Noll for 9th place in NFL history. The pressure of winning in Pittsburgh takes a toll on its head coaches The Steelers’ six Super Bowl titles place significant pressure on the current head coach to add another piece of hardware into the team’s trophy case. Mike Tomlin’s Pittsburgh squads never finished below .500 in any of his 19 seasons. His Steelers won the AFC North eight times including this season’s 10-7 team. Coach Tomlin’s Steelers teams were defensively talented but inconsistent on offense. Tomlin’s offensive units have further declined after the 2021 retirement of likely Hall-of-Fame quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. One by one, offensive coordinators have struggled and been sent packing from Pittsburgh several times during Mike Tomlin’s 19 years at the helm. Monday night’s 30-6 loss – at home – in the opening round again highlighted Mike Tomlin’s difficulty at winning playoff games. This week’s defeat was the Steelers’ seventh straight in the NFL playoffs. The loss tied Coach Tomlin with former Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis for the most consecutive playoff defeats in NFL history. Ouch. The pressure to win a post-season game seems to have been the final breaking point for Pittsburgh Coach Mike Tomlin. He looked ready to take a lengthy sabbatical from his coaching responsibilities. Coach Tomlin is considered a likely candidate to work for one of the television networks as a studio host or analyst in the broadcast booth next season. Former New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton “retired” from the team in 2022 but took a job working as a studio host for FOX Sports that fall. Payton then returned to the sidelines the following year in 2023 to become the Denver Broncos head coach. It’s likely that Mike Tomlin will patrol the football sidelines as either a head coach or defensive coordinator for another team at some point in the future. In the meantime, here’s hoping that Coach Tomlin will enjoy a very well deserved break. Jump ball! Who wants to be the new Pittsburgh Steelers head coach? Let’s examine the positives first. Job security – There have been just three coaches in the past 55 seasons. The Steelers ownership (the Rooney family) is the most patient in all of professional sports. Getting a job as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers is, perhaps, the safest job in the NFL. Fan support – Is anything better than seeing 65,000 gold-colored Terrible Towels being waved in support of your team at every home game? Yes, there is! It’s when you see 20,000 or more Terrible Towels being waved by fans at your opponent’s stadium on road games! Only the Dallas Cowboys may have as many loyal football fans as the Steelers. A livable, lovable city – Pittsburgh is one of America’s top major metropolitan areas in terms of the cost of living and safety. The Steel City (much like New Orleans) has a very unique local population which fervently follows their beloved NFL franchise for 365 days per year. And now…a few of the negatives. Expectations are sky high – every year! Mike Tomlin appeared to be one of the most even-tempered head coaches in NFL history. Pittsburgh is the city which was home to Mister Rogers (the PBS children’s TV star – not the quarterback). Football fans and media in Pittsburgh reminded Coach Tomlin (daily) that he had lost six consecutive post-season games leading up to Monday night’s playoff game versus Houston. The Steelers have six Super Bowl trophies in their display case. The next head coach will feel immediate pressure to win playoff games again – quickly. Can the new head coach turn around the Steelers’ pop gun offense? Aaron Rodgers was a “band-aid” type of quarterback for the Steelers this season. The 42-year old legend could not and should not be attempting to scramble or run from freight train-sized NFL defensive linemen anymore. Steelers rookie quarterback Will Howard never left the bench during his first pro season. Pittsburgh’s major investment in wide receiver D.K. Metcalf appears to be shaky after Year #1 with the team. The Steelers need more speedy receivers who can reliably catch the football under pressure. Does the new coach look the part in Pittsburgh? Mike Tomlin, Bill Cowher, and Chuck Noll had “the look” of someone intense enough and tough enough to command this rugged city’s pro football team. Projecting a personal toughness and strength will (initially) capture the hearts of Steeler Nation. Who does SwampSwami see as the next Pittsburgh Steelers head coach? A. Curt Cignetti Win or lose this coming Monday night vs. the University of Miami, Indiana Hoosiers football coach Curt Cignetti checks all of the boxes needed to turn the Pittsburgh Steelers into a top contender again. Did I say that the 64-year old college football coach is a Pittsburgh native? Curt Cignetti signed a 7-year contract extension with the Hoosiers this fall. Can the Steelers afford to pay for the buyout for his Indiana contract? Yes. Would they consider paying a sizable buyout in order to get Cignetti to Pittsburgh? Unlikely. The Steelers’ ownership is notoriously thrifty. B. Houston Texans’ head coach DeMeco Ryans Ryans is only 41 years of age (a year younger than this year’s Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers). The former All-Pro NFL linebacker has won ten or more games in each of his first three seasons as head coach of the Houston Texans. Pittsburgh would need to provide significant compensation (draft picks and a lot of cash) to Houston in order to lure DeMeco Ryans to come coach in Steel City. Why would Ryans prefer Pittsburgh over Houston? Have you ever lived in Houston during its six months of summer? C. One of these four relatively young NFL defensive coordinators Some names being floated today include Minnesota Vikings D-coordinator Mike Flores. He was formerly the head coach for the Miami Dolphins. Flores’ exit from Miami became a bit messy, though. My list of other top candidates includes Seattle Seahawks defensive guru Allen Durde, Green Bay’s Jeff Hafley, and Jesse Minter from the Los Angeles Chargers. There you have it! SwampSwami’s list of his six top candidates for the Pittsburgh Steelers head coaching job! One name that I intentionally omitted was Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman. He has been quoted recently saying he had no interest in a pro football head coaching position. Then again, don’t coaches ALWAYS say something like that – right before they leave?
