Kobe Julian transfers to Arkansas State

personally, I don't trust the admin's ability to keep anyone successful around long if they don't have ties...

Good. If they leave, it’s means they did good. That’s what we should be trying to do.

We don't have the money or luck for multiple successful hires at the moment, IMO... With regard to football, we did when we got Napier's buyout, but squandered that.

To clarify: Your method is where we should be, but we have fallen off so far in FB, MBB, WBB that there's an added step to get there now, IMO

Or they did bad.

That’s not true either. But it’s darn good talking point.

That’s a defeatist attitude. Do I trust our admin at the moment no, but the goal should always be to go out and find the best possible coach.

There are tons of great young coaches available in every sport. The admin has to go find them, and if they don’t, they should be fired.

[CajunVic]

They should be fired if they fail to recognize that at this juncture, there can be no better hire for Louisiana basketball than Brad Boyd.

Now hearing that there may be another one of our players going into the portal

[RaginDave]

We should also look at another STM alum, Bobby Champagne. He is an asst coach now at Houston.

I was on the Bobby Champagne train years ago, unfortunately, I think his time has come and gone as a HC.

You're foolish if you haven't already convinced yourself that they're all leaving..

[Duckster]

Cast the net far and wide! If someone with local ties makes it that's fine, if not its still fine. If some P$ takes our MBB coach after three to four years he's likely made and advanced in the NCAA tourney a couple of times. Look at the coaching carousel this year, dozens of schools in an attempt to move on from mediocrity made a HC change. Read where CBM has 3 years left on contract but regardless, this season should be ultimatum to win the conference regular season or tournament or adios. Besides some folks are more successful with their backs to the wall. Most of us in our careers had a boss at some point in our younger days that knew how to press our buttons to get higher performance. Dr. Maggard needs to turn up the pressure on CBM to produce or perish. Coaches understand that. Anyone that has worked in their life or has been a boss knows that if you permit mediocrity to creep into your workplace you are guaranteed to get more of the same. IDK, everyone seems too comfortable. As a fan its irritating, but when you think of it as a taxpayer this is unacceptable all the way around.

The better players have left. Who could be next?
