Time to give Brad Boyd a shot.

Crazy how the ones that were against a dez hire are for a Boyd hire and are citing the exact same reasons

If that’s directed at me, I’ve always been supportive of Desormeaux and look at that hire as a huge risk vs reward situation. Being critical of his playcalling isn’t not supporting him.

Brad could fail miserably, or he could be wildly successful. What he wouldn’t do is warrant a $675k salary. It would be likely a little less than half of that. But he’d have more support and likely much better recruiting than what we’ve seen.

The basketball program is NOWHERE near where the football program was when Napier left for Florida. Two completely different universes.

Idiotic to even try to make that comparison.

I don't care who we hire. Take Cajuns Ball out of Hell. This legendary program, in Hell.

Basketball only takes the right hire to turn it around in one year.

Probably due to timing and the differences between coming off a top-20 ranking and a bottom-20 ranking.

I approve of hiring Brad Boyd immediately. He can be assisted by DaBoot and CajunMike with M$M taking over S&C. I'm serious, these four gentlemen could do way better than what the Cajuns have now. Lack of ticket sales and support doesn't even cover the coaching salary. These four guys would work for less and get more production.

This MUST be a joke post.

McNeese comes to mind there

I find this entire notion ridiculous. Do a national coaching search. If what that search turns up is that Brad Boyd is best for UL basketball, great. If not, I sure hope we don’t have mopers and whiners who refuse to support the program because it wasn’t given to their guy. The only people excluded from our search should be the folks on staff now. No offense to them. I’m sure there are some great basketball minds on that bench, but they need to go get their chance somewhere else. We cannot afford those ties.

Never hire from a losing program.

From out or within
