I approve of hiring Brad Boyd immediately. He can be assisted by DaBoot and CajunMike with M$M taking over S&C. I'm serious, these four gentlemen could do way better than what the Cajuns have now. Lack of ticket sales and support doesn't even cover the coaching salary. These four guys would work for less and get more production.
It's time for something different
I'd take BB over Marlin all day
We got nothing to lose. BB3 would do well.
Maybe even Coach Chris as an option. Keep that Iberia parish coaching tree going.Quote:

No disrespect to Boyd but he has no where near the experience or professionalism Marlin has.
Any replacement should be able to at least match what we already have.
Maggard could hire a stray dog and I would be at the very next game to show my support for the program. As long as the fish is no longer there.
Count me in with this. The big fish has met his peak and BB has something to give. Let the man cook.
There it is.Quote:

And I think Brad would do fine still in that category.
You aren’t serious are you?Quote:

We are a bottom 20 program in the country at the moment. With a fanbase that is nonexistent, yet the program is too prestigious for Brad?Quote:

LOl, it's amazing some people think a university should hire a coach without any college coaching experience and is currently coaching middle school.Quote:

But sure, let’s put our noses in the air and think this program is too good for Brad.
Crazy how the ones that were against a dez hire are for a Boyd hire and are citing the exact same reasons
Never said I thought we're too good for anyone. Clearly, we are not.Quote:

It's obvious that Brad really, really wants this job, which is in his favor. But it sure seems like the person that you're going to hand the reins to a Division I job should have relevant experience.
If that’s directed at me, I’ve always been supportive of Desormeaux and look at that hire as a huge risk vs reward situation. Being critical of his playcalling isn’t not supporting him.Quote:

The basketball program is NOWHERE near where the football program was when Napier left for Florida. Two completely different universes.Quote:

I don't care who we hire. Take Cajuns Ball out of Hell. This legendary program, in Hell.
Basketball only takes the right hire to turn it around in one year.Quote:
