Future head basketball coach should/will be

[Chanel]

Actually, I think Byron Starks name needs to be added to that list. He has been coaching for 14 years now and he would be a successful coach. He will also be a positive roll model for any basketball team.

We talk about the current condition of our basketball program... and the next hire of head coach is so critical, yet 17 of you at this point are willing to turn over the job to a young guy with ZERO college coaching experience.

Evidently, our basketball program is not as important as we thought.

_ BOY BOY BOY, u dont care who gets the job, you just dont want me coaching, what if, and this is a what if scenario, i would get it and win 12 of first 15 games, would you support me then... _

Grow up a little first, Brad... then some of us might take you more seriously.

_ No problem, i think its cool that I am in the TOPIC, lotta good coaches on that list... I really believe I could get it done.... years of college coaching or not, i really believe I can do it... YOU WANT EXCITEMENT, i think deep down, everyone knows how exciting it would be for me to take over, I know when i played every home game was really exciting, and fun... I can bring that back.... JUST WIN BABY!!! _

I miss those days. Having to get to the game 30 minutes before tip off to get a good seat in the student section and wait in line for a beer that was $6. Seeing razzle dazzle up and down the court. Seeing some amazing dunks. Having an inside and outside game. Being able to feel the excitement in the dome. oh those were the days. haha

Tim Floyd will be the new head coach at N.O. so why wold he take a huge paycut and come to UL?

Butch is past his time as a HC.

Neither would want to inherit the mess we have here.

Boyd needs to start at Lafayette Middle and work his way up.

I wouldn't touch the Tim Floyd nightmare with a ten foot poll.

Don't mistake confidence with arrogance.

_ I really like the 3 names at the top of this list, minue Brad Boyd. No offense Brad, but you are not yet qualified to be a D-1 Head Coach, although I would love to see you as an assistant on this team.

But Butch Pierre, Bobby Champagne and Tim Floyd are quality, experienced coaches in college basketball. Two of them are long time assistants at solid programs (Bobby is now coaching at University of North Alabama, but has solid assistant experience in D-1) and the third has been successfull whereever he has been. My only issue with Floyd is baggage he comes with.

PS: I would like to add Marty Fletcher and Jesse Evans to the list.......Just kidding.......For those interested Marty is now the Men's Basketball Analyst; Studio Analyst for the MWC. Previously he had been the director of officials for the MWC, as well as coach at Denver and the men's and women's coach at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, at least Marty stayed in basketball, whatever happened to Jesse after he was let go from San Fransisco? _

Jesse Evans took a leave of absence from his team in the middle of the season a couple of years ago with no explanation to his employers as to why and how long he'd be gone. They finally fired him, hired a legend in Eddie Sutton and then Evans promptly sued the school for breach of contract.. The guy can get things done but he sure does carry some baggage.

Byron Starks left the Cajun Program after a year as an assistant due to the time and travel constraints that it put on his family and I don't think Byron liked that lifestyle from what I'm told. That's respectable but it obviously won't work out for him on the college level.

About two weeks ago, I defended the opportunity to hire him if it were to ever come available even though we all know the chances were slim to none. Now,given the mess he's created, I agree with you. I wouldn't go near him with someone else's pole. Not to mention that if some of these sanctions are handed down by the NCAA in addition to what USC has imposed, his college coaching career may be over anyway.
