Well, I certainly wouldn't leave the 20 point blowouts early like I did a couple of times this season.

And a year later if another job comes open that he wants...he will be gone. He moves more than my bowels.

I'm in for Floyd.
In his four years at ISU, Floyd posted an 81-49 record. He is the only coach in Iowa State history to post three consecutive 20-win seasons, which in part, earned him a nickname among some NCAA coaches as "Timothy The Great". He also led the team to three straight appearances in the NCAA Tournament and three straight first-round victories.
In his first season with the Cyclones, Floyd guided the team to a then-school-record 23 victories and the second round of the NCAA Tournament. During that season, the Cyclones were ranked in the AP Top 25 poll for 11 consecutive weeks, peaking at number eleven. Four of the eleven ISU losses were to 1995 NCAA Final Four teams. The Cyclones returned to the Big Eight Conference Tournament championship for the first time since 1986. In that year, Fred Hoiberg became the first Cyclone to earn All-American honors since Jeff Grayer in 1988.
Picked in preseason polls to finish last in the Big Eight, the 1995-96 Cyclones finished second in the league with a 9-5 mark and won Big Eight Conference Tournament with a win over the Kansas Jayhawks, then ranked the number five team in the nation. The Cyclones received the highest NCAA Tournament seed in school history. Iowa State's 24 victories that season was a school record. For his coaching efforts, Floyd was named Big Eight Coach of the Year and runner-up to Gene Keady of Purdue University for AP National Coach of the Year.
In the 1996-1997 season, Floyd and the Cyclones posted a 22-9 mark and advanced to their first NCAA Sweet Sixteen appearance in 11 years. In the NCAA Tournament, the sixth-seeded Cyclones defeated the Illinois State Redbirds in the first round and the Cincinnati Bearcats before losing to UCLA Bruins in overtime.
Floyd was also responsible for landing would-be recruits, and currents pros, Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich. Both Collison and Hinrich withdrew their verbal commitments upon Floyds departure from Iowa State.
While at Iowa State, Floyd coached future pros Dedric Willoughby, Fred Hoiberg, Kelvin Cato, Marcus Fizer and Paul Shirley.

No. Need to hire someone who has the ability to recruit in OK and TX and occasionally finds a diamond in other roughs, is fundamentally sound, can win without the best talent, wants to be here, and will not pack up and leave at the first sign of success. Floyd not only does not pass all of these tests, he has the reputation of failing miserably at a few of them.
I posted earlier that he is the best coach that would be an easy catch. I doubt Boren and Joe C. would hire him after the Mayo thing. In fact, I was made fun of on this board for suggesting it.

He can coach, develop and recruit. He tried his luck at the NBA and failed and did not like it so I seriously doubt he would jump ship for the NBA again. OU is a top 10 job, even if the the media and myopic fans here don't acknowledge it, so he would be hard pressed to go somewhere else.
I would be ecstatic if we hired him, we would be getting top NCAA seeds in no time. I hope he wouldn't cheat, and pray he wouldn't get caught cheating. But it is all moot as Boren, the hypocrite, won't hire a past cheater.
