UL Basketball Coach ... NEXT

[CajunT]

_ They dont know all the high shcool coaches from the area like me and all the AAU coaches from the state.... not saying whoever they hire needs me, but it would be a win for the program, i we havent been getting that many wins lately!!!!

Plus the people I know in the community is a major plus....

JUST WIN BABY!!! _

I can promise you this, Tim Floyd nor Kennedy would need your assitance with AAU coaches. They have contacts throughout the south, and neither of them would need any introduction to Louisiana HS coaches. Now if they want you on the staff, it's their decision. I'm sure a young energetic guy like yourself as an assistant could be a good thing.

_ Exactly,,,,, Neither one will be here i think... Kennedy is up for bigger jobs then UL, Tim Floyd, is locked up with the Hornets... U never know though.... I would like to know how many AAU coaches Billy Kennedy knows.... whens the last time he lived down here... _

Billy Kennedy was here in 2005 when he took the Southeastern Louisiana Lions to the NCAA's. In the NCAA tournament, they played OK State off their feet before falling short. Tim Floyd may or may not be the coach here. However, he probably wants to coach in college again. If not, he would not have tried to clear his name by testifying in the Feb. 19 NCAA hearing which looked into the USC situation.

Will see what happens in the next few days. But as per the attention, I've said very little on this board about it, but you certainly have posted a ton about it. Who's looking for attention?

Sorry, I tried to stay out of most of the basketball comments over the past month. I know the history of decisions have turned many people off and they don't believe that a change will be made. I'm certain a change will be made, but I'm not certain who will be the final few names to interview.

I am hoping for a big name hire that comes with an impressive resume. Tim Floyd fits that criteria. I would also be satisfied with Kennedy or Butch. I am totally against hiring anyone who is currently a highschool coach. I also wouldn't mind seeing Brad Boyd hop on as an assistant. I think he could bring a lot to a staff.

Who are the candidates for the men's and women's basketball program? This process needs to start on Monday. We need to recruit several kids to fill in the front court.

What's the story with E. Rogers? He's won about 15 games in 3 years. 2009-2010 RECORD 9-21? Now that's progress!!

[Damon]

Dude! Louie Cook!!!!

Just kidding.

As cliche as it sounds, I hope we hire the best coach and the best man that we can afford. The rest works itself out.

[RCAJUN90]

_ All right everyone who gives a damn, r whoever you think should be given an oppurtunity to lead this program to more success then the past.... Well who is it gonna be.... The cat from Murray State just won his 30th game tonight.... Butch Pierre has the three best players from Louisiana leaving the state... Man who else is worthy. Who will be THE GUY... _

Coaches? We don't need no stinking coaches!

[SlappyCajun]

Are there guys out there who could hire Brad? Don't know. But no one needs Brad to be successful here.

Is there an opening? Right now the only people that are candidates are Lee and Rogers? Both SHOULD resign, but somehow I doubt that will happen.

I wouldn't necessarily be against a Tim Floyd hire. Like you say, he certainly has the credentials and experience and the local ties to recruit not only nationally but locally. About 2 months ago, he is the guy that I would have put first on my list. However, I don't think you'll see the university hire Floyd now. He has too much baggage to his name and they are not into unnecessary risks. I think this is what scared them off about the Orgeron possible hire.
