MBB: Head Coach Suggestions

[JamesTheJeweler]

Definitely do not need to offer Bob Marlin type of money at this point.

That depends on the hire

That depends on the hire

We may have to pay to get the right coach. We have a Big 12 facility with basketball history and tradition. Unfortunately, we play in the Sun Belt. Despite that, a few years ago when we had a long winning streak going, we had 8,000 - 9,000 in attendance. We have a starved fan base that can resurrect itself with the right hire. Don't go the cheap route. Hire the right coach to lead UL back to its prominent basketball status.

No thank you to anything with Boyd. Make the best hire possible and he has full control of who he puts on staff.

Boyd could be a great recruiter for this area. Can't say he doesn't have passion. I think we will hear from him on this thread shortly. You know he is reading it. Come on Brad; What cha got brother!!!

He has done nothing in his career that says he should be HC here and it should 100% up to the next coach who they hire on staff.

This is bigger than just a basketball coach.

The divide between P5 and G5 football will widen with NIL. Hopefully they P5s will break off and do their own thing.

Basketball will become the flag bearer within the next 10 years. It's just economics. G5 money is better spent with a few NCAA Tournament runs in March Madness as compared to G5 football.

The next coach may have to usher UL through NIL and basketball becoming the lead sport for us.

I posted this elsewhere, but theres a coaching candidate no one is talking about. And hear me out here.......Glenn Cyprien!

I mean....I'm sure he's had enough time to get that degree by now, right?

Should 100% be, but will it? Football and Softball Staffs have had to force hire folks.

Boyd shouldn’t be a forced hire. Like I said he has done nothing in his career. Hasn’t even stayed places long enough to have a track record of success.

I wish him well. Loved him as a player but we can do better.

Just saying Brad may be a good guy to have on the staff. For a lot of reasons. What are we currently paying asst coaches here & how many assistants do we have? (I don't know. use to have season tickets, but haven't been to a game in a couple years)

Hell yea, Cajuns Basketball was so popular b/c it was just a damn good time

Yeah he was so disconnected that the administration, who had tried to distance themselves from him, had to go to him to try and get people to the games. Even after all of the backstabbing done by Marlin and associates of the program he still shows up. He still advocates for the program more than any other former athlete at this university.
