The fan base needs a big name with a proven track record of winning and recruiting. Nothing less is going to fly.
Can’t say this enough. Pearl is NOT coming.If Donovan says NO then it’s either Pitino for 3 years or Pearl….
What did Duke and North Carolina do ?? They hired young unproven coaches who had ties into there program!If we miss out on Donovan too, we might as well just blow up Rupp Arena and the Craft Center and just give up. If a program like UK is at such a low point we have to try to hire some washed up re-tread or some nobody from a mid-major, we are up shit creek anyway.
Todd Golden or Bryce Drew.Maybe it's time to rethink this process.
Cal was at UMass.....
Self was at Oral Roberts....
K was at US Military Academy....
Who is the next hungry, tough as nails up and comer who has what it takes???
Don't want another old man, preacher, NBA farmer, drunk or cheater.
Wish I had faith in Barney to find the diamond in the rough.
Yeah, she’s thinking… We left racehorses and wildcats, for pigs and chickens!I'm sure after that intro last evening Ellen would drive him back.
I'd be fine with an offer to Lloyd...short but impressive resume.Tommy Lloyd - Wikipedia

Beat Kentucky at Rupp lolWhat has Golden done to even get a serious look?
Pat Kelsey…..Maybe it's time to rethink this process.

Ghetto commuter school...Pat Kelsey…..
But he’s taken 😎
Has Ullis coached anywhere at any level? It’s been pre pandemic that I even heard his name. What has he been doing since the NBA?Outsider fan here but one that really would make sense from me minus experience would honestly be Tyler Ulis.
KU has Aaron Miles and Jeremy Case as former players that likely would be candidates—Miles has been an NBA assistant for several years. Not saying they would be top choices, just options.
I think if y’all signed a stop-gap type coach for 2-3 years and help Ulis get a mid major job (not sure what he’s up to) for a short stent for experience…. That would be a home run long term.
I think as long as the coach knows ball and cares about UK, the school recruits for itself.
Agree but only after Donovan say no. Personally I add Pitino but I understand the hatrIf Lloyd wants it...
Rivalry aside and barbs aside, genuinely discussing - Rick has a cardinal tattoo on his shoulder…Agree but only after Donovan say no. Personally I add Pitino but I understand the hatr
With degrees in domestic abuseI went to college in Colorado, I’m just a louisvillian. Take shots at the school all you want.
At least the majority of UL fans actually did go there and don’t just fly flags from their hollers after failing their GED
Exactly.. the schools listed got crazy lucky...then even luckier that the coach stayed forever and STAYED good, which Cal did not. Self and K at Kansas and Duke... lucky to have it workout like thatFor every Self, K or Calipari, there are 20 that fail hard at a Power 5 school after coming from a midmajor. No thanks.
Dude I gaurentee that would be removed likely publicly . Also he helped build the empire. He took the job when UK on probation and win 3 FF and 1 title ( I SAY 2 titles 4 FF as Tubby win with Rick's players) in 9 years. He is HUNGRY. Even at 70/71. It would be storybook an dominate headlines an ulti.ate FU to CCC. Other tbsn Rupp he was best coach UK ever had. Throw him 3 years at 20 mil with 2 year option if Billy says nawwwwRivalry aside and barbs aside, genuinely discussing - Rick has a cardinal tattoo on his shoulder…
Would that hire actually go over well? He’s also 72… you’re talking about 3-4 years at the most before you’re back to this place again.
I understand the history. It’s just a wild turn of events to have a dude coaching your team with a tattoo of the rival.Dude I gaurentee that would be removed likely publicly .

What do you not like about Golden?
What's left to look to that doesn't have major baggage following them or the old age factor?What has Golden done to even get a serious look?
Damn ..so that's why he isn't mentioned. Same as the Iowa state coach, TJ , his buyout is a ton.$19M buyout.
He’s not leaving Zona
Pope will probably leave BYU though..
Now I’m a pedophile??? HahahahahI figured you for a tard laced pedophile...
IndeedDamn ..so that's why he isn't mentioned. Same as the Iowa state coach, TJ , his buyout is a ton.
Except the info provided by the resident tard is wrong... 12 million not 19...Damn ..so that's why he isn't mentioned. Same as the Iowa state coach, TJ , his buyout is a ton.
Shaka seems really happy where he is. Apparently UL kicked the tires and he said he was good where he wasIf Donovan says no, Shaka Smart. young...had a rough go at Texas but lacked support. He is a recruiter and he can coach, builds team chemistry, young. Has never had the type of talent he would pull at UK.
He was just extended and buyout went up.Except the info provided by the resident tard is wrong... 12 million not 19...
So neither of you did, got itWhy does it matter? UK is the state school. People rep it because it' is the states school. Surely you aren't so stupid you believe only alumni can be fans?
Maybe you should inform the LHL obelisk taker...He was just extended and buyout went up.
Dude… stop 😂
Just to play devils advocate, why? That hasn't been UK's recipe in the past. Cal had more final fours than any coach we have ever hired.The fan base needs a big name with a proven track record of winning and recruiting. Nothing less is going to fly.
