UL Basketball Coach ... NEXT

[Turbine]

My criteria is simple:

Collegiate Head Coaching Experience.

A raging success at his last job.

Has extensive experience recruiting with a budget lower than he will have at UL.

The timing may be off for this hire but if the NCAA clears Floyd I would be OK with his hire.

Turbine according to your criteria---Billy Kennedy is our new hire!!!!!

Tim Floyd. Barring any interference from the Hornets, he's a Cajun next year.

Any info or are you just speculating?

_ I think that this assessment of the situation is dead on. I look for a one year deal, tied closely to performance requirements, to be offered to Lee. _

You are completely off base with this view.

[ULtimateCajun]

a few friends dads who send regular checks to RCAF so take that for what it is. But it is the only name i hear them saying.

_ Tim Floyd would be a terrible hire. Why would we hire a known cheater? If Lee does not return, and I think the chances are at least 50/50 that he will, then the next head coach can not have negative baggage like recruiting scandals. _

Floyd won't be hired if he is not cleared of the USC allegations. I predict he will be cleared near the end of the month. That does not mean I believe he will be our next coach.

I think Tim Floyd can coach but I think most ADs are reluctant to hire him since he's seen as a cheater. I know Calipari is, but Calipiri cheats you to the final 4.

However disenchanted people may be with the UL athletic department and recent decisions, this opinion still doesn't make any sense.

I don't want anybody to cheat us anywhere.

Regardless of who the next HEAD coach is, I truly hope they bring on Brad Boyd as an assistant. I know many of you on here chuckle at the thought, but the truth is this guy is around all the premier players in the state through his AAU teams, and that surely couldn't hurt for recruiting.

Any coach that is worth their dollar will have plenty of contacts, they won't need Brad Boyd for that reason.
