UK meeting with Drew per Rothstein
- Thread starter RunninRichie
- Start date
Think that seals it. I hate it but it is what it is until Mitch is gone
I wish I was more on board with this. I know some are, but it just does not feel exciting.
Can we wait until we lose a game to start complaining?
“In the near future?”
Makes it sound we have other matters to tend to first. Pretty sure finding a new hoops coach should top UK’s urgency list.

No one has been right yet, so let's hold out hope
Tbf, it said near future. Sounds like we're going after Hurley first. Reading inbetween the lines.
Absolutely worst case scenario if we want to get back on top.
THIS GUY ISNT GOOD ENOUGH
GET YOUR HEAD OJT OF YIUR ASS MITCH OR HIT THE DAMN ROAD

Guess I'll try to get myself excited about this, but it sure isn't going to be easy. 
It doesn't mean Mitch didn't throw the bank at Hurley or Donovan first. We simply don't know. Whomever gets it, it'll be spun as "Mitch got the guy he wanted all along". We may never know how things actually went down.
It's okay to not agree with a hire.
I’m not believing a damn thing until it’s official. Seen way too much smoke and fake BS so far.
No! Some will complain no matter who the hire, what we pay them or how well they do here.
I’m over exciting. We’ve had exciting for 15 years with limited results. It’s time for execution and competent coaching. Whoever can do this, I welcome.
Alright. Let’s get a guy in place asap.
If you can win one in Waco and recruit you can get it done here.
Drew’s teams play hard.

Hurley shot us down more than likely. This was the best available. Is what it this.
Cal’s last gift to us.

It’s not awful. Other than Hurley, he’s the next best option.
I could get behind Donovan but college basketball has changed since he coached at Florida. Both on and off the floor. I’m sure he could figure it out but Drew is doing it now, and recruiting at a high level.
I agree. Unless it's a scare tactic to get someone else to commit first.
I mean Baylor has a pretty good class coming in. If he can bring Edgecombe with him that’s big.
If it wasn't known that Drew and Mitch were friends some on this board would be singing a different tune I think.
This is a fantastic hire.

We can be upset but you have to have a realistic alternative. If Hurley, Donovan, and Oats don’t want it then you’re not going to beat the option of Scott Drew.
His resume is more impressive than Gillispie’s or Cal’s or Sutton’s was when they came here.

Let's assume that Hurley and Donovan said no. Would you take Drew over Shaka, Beard, Pearl or any of the others who might or might not accept the position?
It's a very annoying cop-out argument that tries to say "we only couldn't get a top coach because Mitch wanted his guy". I think the posters who think this way are lying to themselves. If Drew comes here, then we can essentially say that Nate Oats, Hurley, and Jay Wright were not interested at present time. And it sounds like Billy Donovan is kind of on-deck, but he's someone who already didn't want to come here.
Oops sorry. Didn’t know opinions weren’t allowed. My apologies
i was being toxic by saying I hate the hire but it is what it is? lol.
I'm choosing to get behind the hire. The dude has an eye for talented staff members. He's already had McCasland at Tech and Tang at KSU. His recruiting is picking up after Keyonte George and Jakobi Walters success. Just pulled in VJ Edgecombe from Cal and Duke. I think he'll flourish here with the booster support that's about to open.
It’s a safe hire.
I’m not jumping up and down like I was when Cal was announced. I don’t think the program will fall apart. I think he can win a title or 2, which is exactly what Cal did. He’ll do it with less dazzle and fanfare. There won’t be as many Fab 5 type classes, but there will be more structure, better coaching, roster consistency. Less Drake and more Chip & Joanna Gaines.

This ^^^^^. Do you think Barnhart is publicly going to say, “Well, we tried to get Hurley and Oats but they didn’t want the job, so we settled for Scott Drew”? No, we may never know who all they considered, but if Drew gets the job I will support him and be happy that Cal is gone.
Reminds me of Cal fans telling us to be happy no matter what.
Rather have Cal back than Drew.
No way.
