 After he retired from coaching, Galloway applied the same philosophy and organizational skills to his job as the first Commissioner of State Colleges and Universities under the jurisdiction of the Louisiana State Board of Education—a position he held from 1965 to 1973.Under his direction, the Board doubled the coaching staffs of all state colleges and universities, doubled the number of scholarships allowed, initiated a building program for athletic facilities at state schools, made membership in the NCAA mandatory and made the position of sports information director mandatory at each school.“We tried to get everyone on the same level,” he said later.
