Time to give Brad Boyd a shot.

[Turbine]

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

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.

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

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

No way, man. We can never hire such a meanie to coach our basketball program.

[JamesTheJeweler]

1. We obviously need to make a change

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

Yeah because hiring a proven coach with experience has really paid dividends. *hard eye roll. You aren't seeing the forest for the trees brother.

[JamesTheJeweler]

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.

Thank you!!!!

[JamesTheJeweler]

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

How is our proven head coach with a ton of college coaching experience doing?

Apples and oranges. Our football program was at its highest level in school history. Basketball is at its lowest. Football and Basketball are not the same. And when we're talking about having the popularity, personality and connections to raise money and get butts in the seats, Brad is light years ahead of Des. Basketball and football are not the same.

Awesome, Brad runs a youth program that his in-laws were involved with.

How’s that strategy working out for Women’s basketball?
