_ I still say we offer the kitchen sink to Billy Kennedy, give him the keys, and see what happens.. just my $.02 _

Nobody would argue with you( Not even me ) but I don't know if the timeframe will allow. Supposedly, they want to proceed quickly since we have to recruit for this year and they have mentioned being done with the decision by late March. With him in the tourney, I don't know if he'd be given permission to speak with us about possibly openings while preparing his team. I would love to see him here though....

_ because before this season, i heard several people, probably remnants from DR. A's tenure as president, that had some very unsatisfactory things to say about him. i think that now that his resume is a little more extensive he may be one of the better choices we will have. i want to see who the other candidates are first before i go saying he will be the one to hire. _

Well, he certainly comes with no more baggage than Floyd, and supposedly Floyd is a frontrunner initially assuming he gets the ok with the NCAA. I have no problems with Pierre and he's a logical candidate. He's wanted this job for years and served well here under Fletcher. He recruits like nobodys business and he's valued across the country as a great assistant. I'm just concerned as to why he has never been given the reigns yet, it seems like there is something that AD's are seeing.

In no perticular order Butch, Floyd, and Kennedy are my top three choices. I think all would be great hires and all have what it takes to get us back to where we used to be not too long ago or even higher.

Remember, we have a lot of frontcourt needs and we only had 2 guys committed and I'm not even sure whether they are keeping their commit here now that Lee is gone.

Those two have already signed Letters of Intent.

they will be allowed to be released from their LOI if they choose to go that route. If a coach is fired athletes that are not enrolled in school, and have signed a letter of intent are free to go elsewhere.

_ Pierre is my 4th choice, but I don't think that Gillispie or Felton would come here. I'd also love to see Kennedy by that's just not going to happen. _

Why is everybody saying that Kennedy won't come---I tell you if it is not the Hornet you for the YAT!!!!!

Boomer, I would be very happy with Billy Kennedy and I am sure that he would be happy as the Cajuns head man too.

Personally I was against the idea of Tim Floyd being our head coach for the reasons that a lot of folks here are concerned about. But if it get the big money boosters fully supporting this program again and he can give us 5 solid years as the head coach. He will accomplish the same thing that Dooley did for Tech. He will keep us in the national spotlight, he will win and get the type of talent that we need to compete with teams outside of the Sunbelt.

I am officially on the Tim Floyd bandwagon. If it is not Floyd I want to see Billy Kennedy.

[LifeTimeCajun]

i am of the opinion go out and get the best coach possible, even though he may be here only 3 or 4 yrs. The realization of it is we are a mid major starving for success on and off the court. If that candidate is in fact here for a short period of time, provided he has sucess, it ultimatley makes this job that more attractivve in the future. And that is what we want

Yea what was said. I only caught the tail end of the conversation with Foote and I think that was Stevie P
