Love Floyd. But not in the top 5. Would struggle to make top 10

He is a top 5 coach in the country so of course will be moving on if Cajuns go on NCAA tourney run in a couple of years. The alternative is Cajuns go under .500 the next two years, as part of another 6 year plan to rebuild.

OK, then how about a "top 5 available"

I don't think that is the only alternative....

So, If we get Floyd we make it to the big Dance in two years and he goes, or if not we don't break .500.

All the guys being considered with the exception of Pierre have been Successful Division I head coaches. Some of them were in the tournament this year. Many of them have won at least 20 games for the last 3 or 4 years.

Floyd would be a hell of a hire, but you have to remember that he also has to want to come here. I personally agree with the OP and he is just screwing with us.

I really believe that Floyd, Marlin, Kaspar, Kennedy, Butch, or Gottfried could be successful here.

You have to remember that every coach with the exception of Robert Lee has been a 20 game winner here and went on to be a Division I head coach at another university.

Just hang tight. I believe if one of these guys are selected the Cajuns will be back sooner than you think.

Once you get to top 15 or so, all pretty subjective. I think Floyd was one of only a handful of coaches that could have so quickly turned USC from mediocre to top 10 team in a few years. he also is one of only a handful that could have made Iowa St. top 10 in a few years and UNO top 25 within a few years. Of course, he would have had to have remained at Iowa St. for a decade or USC for a decade, one a national titlle, then got a job at North Carolina, Kansas, or Kentucky and wona title there to be considered by most a top 5. BUT, I believe he has always been capable of going down that road, he just did not go down that road by choice. His choice of roads to go down does not diminish his ability to coach and build a program as quickly as any other can.

But even if Floyd is not even top 10, when have the Cajuns ever hired a top 50 guy? If they have it has been decades ago (Paschal and earlier) before college basketball was on a big national stage.

Lee was 20 game winner when he was along for the ride in his first year and the players just willed their way to a top 20 caiber team by the end of the year, despite Lee.

I wonder if KPEL realizes that Scott Prather is costing them money and listeners.. I wonder if they are planning on grooming this guy to take Jay's job..

I have to turn off the radio everytime this guy has the mic to himself. Just awful, terrible radio.

Floyd flamed as the Hornets head coach yet is somehow brought back as assistant. I view him along the lines of a Kelvin Sampson. He left two schools on the NCAA radar (e.g. OU and Indiana). It appears Floyd is "playing" ULL and may end up in Houston. I'd like to see Pierre come to Lafayette.

Hey RED Stick---Think Z figured you out ---We go by UL on this board!!!!
