The Glenn Cyprien File ...

[HoustonCajun]

_ I believe it is a state law or at least a UL System requirement that he have an acredited degree. Since he did not have that at the time he could not be the head here or at any other public university in Louisiana. So don't start blaming UL or the Admin for not accepting the resume, they had no choice.

No one is to blame here but Cyprien, he is the one who made up that resume with the false claims of a degree. Like George O'Leary before him he lied on his resume and payed the price for it. _

I'm not blaming anyone. I am only stating that our choice of Lee as our coach has proven to be a bad decision and our bball program is in shambles. I only wondered how thing might have been different if Cyprien had been coach.

He has his degree now. Maybe we can hire him again!

Yeah, he did finally get it. Too bad he didn't take care of that in the first place then maybe none of this would have happened and he would have gotten his opportunity here.

_ Given the current state of men's basketball at UL, I can't help but wonder what things would be like if UL had accepted his corrected transcript and he would have been our bball coach these past few years. I can't imagine we would be as bad as we are now, but we'll never know. _

We all thought the administration was nuts for passing up Lee in the first place. Apparently they knew something we didn't.

With due respect, what do they know? Baldwin, Lee, silvy, Rogers? Cosistently not hiring the right people is becoming the norm.

His corrected transcript would not have qualified him for the job either. Lacrosse is a joke.

_ Ask what the AD thinks of Coach Dennis Felton of Georgia. After a 9-11/0-5 in SEC he was told to hit the road today. After six seasons 84-91 and winning the SEC tournament last year he still could not hold his job. The AD said that it may have been unusual timing but he was convinced it was the right time for a move. Intermin coach Pete Herrnann will take over. _

IMO Lee should have been named the interem coach after the Cypien debacle. Once the season was over we should have conducted a national search for a new head coach. Had we done that we might not be in the position we are in now.

Coach Lee is in over his head as the head coach of a once proud university. He is outcoached in nearly every game and we have yet to gel as a team. He is better than Coach Rogers but that is a different topic.

We should have just kept Coach Cyprien. I think he would have done great for this university!

I don't think we could have kept him. If I remember correctly, his degree came from an online university that was not accredited. Therefore, he could not be hired by the university.

I thought we fired him b/c he lied to us about where he got his degree from. I believe be said his masters degree was from an actual university or something like that and while he attended this school he in fact finished his masters online. If the university was not accredited he would prolly not be an asst. coach at Kentucky right now.
