Time to give Brad Boyd a shot.

[Cajunrunner]

No disrespect to Boyd but he has no where near the experience or professionalismMarlin has.

There it is.

It’s NCAA Basketball. Professionalism went out the door a long time ago.

And I think Brad would do fine still in that category.

Any replacement should be able to at least match what we already have.

You aren’t serious are you?

1. We obviously need to make a change

2. Our new coach should have more experience than youth basketball

We are a bottom 20 program in the country at the moment. With a fanbase that is nonexistent, yet the program is too prestigious for Brad?

Some of y’all are ridiculous.

LOl, it's amazing some people think a university should hire a coach without any college coaching experience and is currently coaching middle school.

Or discredit a person who was on staff here as a grad assistant. Runs a robust youth program, having to manage way more day to day activities than what a college program deals with. Already raises more money than the current staff. Hosts a tournament in the Cajun Dome which brings in 10 times the attendance that the Cajuns do.

Oh yeah let’s not even talk about the support a change would garner. Brad would triple the attendance.

But sure, let’s put our noses in the air and think this program is too good for Brad.

[GeauxCajuns]

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

Never said I thought we're too good for anyone. Clearly, we are not.

No, Brad has spent the past however many years coaching kids, not grown men. Clearly, he's run an impressive operation. But this is an entirely different job.

It's obvious that Brad really, really wants this job, which is in his favor. But it sure seems like the person that you're going to hand the reins to a Division I job should have relevant experience.

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.

[Swamp]

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.
