MBB: Head Coach Suggestions

[JamesTheJeweler]

Can we get off the Brad Boyd fantasy please. I’m sure a great guy and a good high school coach but this program has been set back way more that a “couple of years”. Open a NATIONAL search and find a qualified candidate. Boyd is not that guy. For God’s sake he hasn’t even been an assistant at any level of college basketball. Give it a rest.

Theres always the second option of you giving it a rest.

It’s ironic some people don’t want anyone associated with Marlin, yet someone associated with Lee is ok.

Lee, the only coach to sport a MBB losing record at the university since 1957, and one of only three to ever do so in the history of the program, dating back to 1911.

I think its more about Marlin is the current outgoing coach. And people don't want anything associated with what we just had. The wound is too fresh.

This all has been one slow trainwreck since Jessie’s departure. There’s nothing but a blip with Peyton and Long. The rest is pretty much forgettable. Including Brown, who left the season after getting a car and 50k.

Man, you're right. Seeing all the historical pictures on the wall of the Dome brings the stark reality of a once proud program to what we've become. I'm excited for a new start. Maggard has done a great job thus far in getting good coaches. Let's hope that holds true.

YES… thank you. If we hire Brad (who I loved as a player and think he’s a good guy) after FINALLY getting rid of Marlin, then I know we aren’t taking our basketball program seriously and I… and many others… will continue to stay away.

I’ve been thinking the same thing over the last 10 or so years as we’re leaving the Dome after a game. Sad.
