I am not a fan of Tim Floyd

Amazing how 5 years can make you forget your true feelings

Louisiana on the other hand has three NCAA appearances in the past 5 years, four straight trips to the post season along with four straight 20-win seasons and five 20-win seasons in the last six years.

When you say "Louisiana" to whom are you referring? Certainly it isn't the Ragin Cajun BB program. I am not disagreeing with your assessment of Tim Floyd, I just don't understand your statement.

I agree, I think UL deserves better! They should avoid Floyd like the plague, and recruit a guy who promises to promote the recruitment of degree seeking students with strong moral values...not any of those slacker one-and-done types.

As long as we're going on the record, I think Tim Floyd is exactly what we need right now.

We r not getting Tim Floyd. Just throwing that out there sobpeople can start to deal with it.

Thanks Parrot, that was a very good and honest article. I am with you also we can not afford to take one step forward and two steps back.

It is too bad Floyd apparently is not coming. Seemed too good to be true really, so not surprised. Those who did not witness what he did with UNO perhaps don't understand how good of a coach he is (although making Iowa St. a top 10 team and making USC a top 10 team, both within a few years, is something..., even if they did not get past the sweet 16). When Floyd went to UNO they were in awful shape, clearly the least talented team in the lowly american south conference, but all he did was win the championship the first year and then soon had that program ranked in the top 20. It was masterful what he did there in about 5 years. Re his run with the Bulls, there is not a coach alive who could have won in the nba with that team.

I agree that there is a lot of baggage with Floyd and I can understand anyone having issues with that, but to question whether he is truly a great coach is re-writing the history of his career thus far.

It is because of his baggage that he will have to rebuild his career for a few years at a less than stellar program (all the while bringing his new team to heights they have not been before or for many years), before moving on to a stellar program again. without the baggage he would not have been a possibility to go to UL or wherever he ends up landing next.

Looks to me that Floyd indeed was looking beyond UL and was only using this position to get at something he deemed more appropriate.

Fans' feelings about athletes and coaches usually depend whether they are on the team that you support or despise....
