Probably due to timing and the differences between coming off a top-20 ranking and a bottom-20 ranking.

This MUST be a joke post.

Re: Time to give Brad Boyd a shot.
I find this entire notion ridiculous. Do a national coaching search. If what that search turns up is that Brad Boyd is best for UL basketball, great. If not, I sure hope we don’t have mopers and whiners who refuse to support the program because it wasn’t given to their guy. The only people excluded from our search should be the folks on staff now. No offense to them. I’m sure there are some great basketball minds on that bench, but they need to go get their chance somewhere else. We cannot afford those ties.

Never hire from a losing program.
From out or within

Yeah because hiring a proven coach with experience has really paid dividends. *hard eye roll. You aren't seeing the forest for the trees brother.

Oh yeah let’s not even talk about the support a change would garner. Brad would triple the attendance.
But sure, let’s put our noses in the air and think this program is too good for Brad.
Thank you!!!!

How is our proven head coach with a ton of college coaching experience doing?

Apples and oranges. Our football program was at its highest level in school history. Basketball is at its lowest. Football and Basketball are not the same. And when we're talking about having the popularity, personality and connections to raise money and get butts in the seats, Brad is light years ahead of Des. Basketball and football are not the same.

Awesome, Brad runs a youth program that his in-laws were involved with.
How’s that strategy working out for Women’s basketball?
