More Floyd

| | Comments (22) |

Tim Floyd took a private plane from Santa Monica to Tucson on Wednesday afternoon and returned tonight.
Whether or not he takes the Arizona job, it strikes me as a little distasteful that he would even interview with a Pac-10 rival.
Why? Because I've heard no fewer than 20 times from Floyd that this would be his last job. I learned long ago how trustworthy coaches are but this is not Memphis (close to home) or some dream job.
It's a school that requires a major rebuilding job. This tells me Floyd is unhappy about something at USC, and there is already some buzz on that subject. Whether he is unhappy enough to leave or just sending a message, we will see.

Scott, I find it interesting that someone who stalks college cheerleaders would find anything distasteful.

Hate to say I told you so.

HE IS WHO I THOUGHT HE WAS!

Tim Floyd is a con man.

Sam Smith, Charles Oakley, Michael Jordan were dead on. So was everyone who had Bulls season tickets during his tenure AS THE WORST COACH IN NBA HISTORY!

I'm going to hang my "Genius On Board" sign on the back window of my car. I knew it would end badly, but I figured I'd have to wait a few years before I made a Nelson Muntz. But so soon?

HA HA!

Floyd will always be "unhappy." He's a mercenary, and he's always been full of shyte! At least Calipari and Pitino don't hide their ambitions.

Where is DFW by the way? Locoweed. Lawyer John? Suckers!

Tim Floyd won one tournament game with his recruits.

Good riddance.

He should be fired for interviewing with a Pac 10 rival if he is not hired. He is not a big name coach that Arizona needs this is a werid hire in that Arizona could get a better coach.

Penrose, Garry P, all are idiot sunshine pumpers.

They deserve WeAreSc.

i posted her a loooong time ago when he first got hired that TIMMEH will NOT stay at $c...just listen to his accent, hes only going to use $c as a stepping stone to whatever other ambitions he has formulated. its all part of his master plan, and u guyz got pwnt by him. as always...im right. ALWAYS!! TIMMEH!!!

Desmo Author Profile Page said:

He went SC to restore is reputation after he proved to be THE WORST COACGH IN NBA HISTORY!

IT WAS A WIN WIN FOR HIM. SC is in the middle of oen of the richest recruit grounds in Basketball. There are more great players than there are big time teams in LA. After the Bibby Disaster he possibly couldn't look bad.

Yes, Kissass Penrose and the suckers on WeAreSC got pmwed!

awesome bruin, the $c remarks are immature...and likely so are you.

A big hurt to a program on the rise. Big surprise, we need Jamie Dixon. USC has to offer him 7 years for 15 million dollars. He is a perfect fit and will scare Ben.

Straight from Taj Gibson's Facebook, he posted this:
Coach isn't Going anywhere.. ESPN is bugging because I'm with him right now..

Thanks Taj, that should clear everything up.

I find it interesting that Lavsmousse likes to stalk Wolf...

This is like the counter-situation to Larry Smith in the 1980s (leaving middle-road Arizona football for tradition-rich USC.)

And just like a lot of Trojans fans were thinking then, it would seem that the Wildcat faithful would be real, real reluctant to embrace a fellow Pac 10 coach who has proved less than daunting.

If Arizona is who they believe they is, the only intra-conference names worth getting excited about would be Howland, Montgomery or (a big maybe) Kent. Romar is getting there, but that's a big reach under Lute standards. Floyd would have to be a major blow to that program's ego.

Excuse me.

The U.S. went to Iraq. To look around and see if they could improve their lot and the Iraqis. Didn't work out.

Obama went to London. To look around and see if he could improve his lot and the world's. Didn't work out.

Floyd went to Arizona presumably to see if the situation would improve his lot and Arizona's. Presumably it didn't work out.

And so Floyd remains the SC coach. Just as he promised. And that is that.

Is that deductive reasoning LJ? Even if you apply sarcasm to your last post it does not translate.

If it is true, there is no defense for a liar. Then we'll have to find another coach that can get us to 6th place in the PAC 10

WAY TO GO GOOFtroyGOOF!! You just admitted that your butt boy Napoleon can't hire the right people for the job.

Scott, what do you know about Floyd being unhappy...can it be fixed?

Wolfbag Unsilenced Author Profile Page said:

I find it interesting...scratch, pathetic...that Trojan-Rewind-Reach-Around feels compelled to stick up for his girlfriend at every opportunity. Silly callous-kneed skirt...

FSC- You bore me. Go study for your GED. Next time I'm in your hometown, TJ, I'll stop by. You got no brain, $ or game. Good night now.
