_ YOu know I can not think of one coach that this school has hired that was a former head coach with the exception of Robe!!!! Football was all assistants since Russ----bball since Shipley----maybe the track dude----Maybe some were head Hs coaches----anybody got one????? _

Marty Fletcher was the head coach at Virginia Military Institute (VMI) before coaching basketball here.

_ I did not say that Tim Floyd would come without baggage. However, he ran a good program at UNO and has coached on the highest levels and shown that he can recruit wherever he goes. The prevailing thought in these parts tends to be that W's are all that is important and Floyd would put us in that position quicker than anybody. This is all conjecture by the way. We will never go with him and he would never come here and we will not be limited by a 3 candidate list and those candidates will likely not even be candidates when we do look for our next coach. It was a simple answer to the posted question. _

I lived in New Orleans when Floyd was coaching there. I don't necessarily believe the progam was as clean then as some think. Obviously, they did not have finances to do anything in that regard. Academically, they were heavy into the JUCO's then and I always wondered about their academic progress.

But Mike, its hard to have it both ways at this level. It seems likely that we will at some point in the future have to continue to dip into the JC ranks as well with the amount of players we will lose in the next 2 years. Evans was sinking our APR but people didn't say much considering his success in his last 5 years or so. Again, this is all conjecture considering that Floyd will not be here nor even be a candidate if/when the job comes available. It's hard to say which way we should go at this point because we don't know the potential candidates that may be available when that happens.
