He has tanked my favorite team. I hate this man with a passion
Fire Barnhart
- Thread starter catman111
- Start date
This board is a dumpster fire right now.
I will get behind the next coach and give him a shot.
I will also get behind firing Mitch because he’s had his shot.

Support the new coach, regardless of how you feel.
The over reaction for some of you posters is like my 10 year old. Get a grip people!
People wanted to fire mitch Barnhart since his first day. Nothing new.
His doppleganger will be our next coach, Scott Drew.
If you hated Mitch you about to have two of them.

Don’t hate him as a person but want him gone yesterday. Every single thing he does is worse than the last. And I’m losing patience with people who keep telling me he’s God’s gift to sports just because baseball is strong and football and basketball haven’t had major scandals even though cheerleading has.

Outrage is the new national pastime. They must express outrage at least once a day.
Insufferable bunch. That's the only way to explain a segment of our fan base
Before we even KNOW who our next coach will be???!!!!!
Heck, I have questioned NUMEROUS things Mitch has done lately, but until we ACTUALLY hire the next coach, I'm going to hold off on calling for his head.
And even if we end up with Drew, how does ANYONE know how good he will be here??? He could be BETTER than Cal!!! I'm just ELATED that Mitch got rid of Cal and saved UK $33 miilion even though it was Mitch that gave Cal that RIDICULOUS buyout.
And also, whoever gets hired will be attached at the hip to Mitch from that day forward and if that coach FAILS, Mitch will be FIRED along with him within 3 years. I really don't think that will be what happens though with Scott Drew. He is a GREAT coach!!!

Because you disagree with him, he should be fired? Got it
Definitely a lot of people on here acting like emotional idiots, putting it nicely.
Threads like this, before a coach even has a chance, are the ones that make BBN look bad.
This tore up and a new coach hasn't even been named.... SMH. People need to take a break from the board
Drew had 1 great year during Covid. Yuck hire
Just enter the transfer portal then.
I am not trying to offend anyone, but anyone that says Mitch is not a good AD, simply doesn't understand college sports. Not even getting into if you like or dislike Cal, I am thinking big picture here and the truth is, he is one of the most respected GMs in college sports, he has raised the level of athletics for all areas since he has been here, which is his job. UK is bigger than Basketball (contrary to what a lot of our fans think) or any one sport. I'm not saying I have always agreed with decisions he has made, but he is an excellent AD. The world of college athletics is changing, and yes coaches and ADs must adapt, but so should fans. I like Cal, but the last 5 years are his fault, not Mitch's and Cal should have been sent packing long before now, it was time. He has even said so himself. There is an excellent article in the athletic (if you subscribe) and Cal states he should have taken the UCLA job, that was the time to make the change but he didn't. This will be best for all parties. UK was fine before Cal, we will be fine after Cal and Mitch for that matter. The sky is not falling
Scott drew last 5 years
128-35
9-3 NCAA tournament
1 ncaa championship
Bill self last 5 years
130-37
9-3 NCAA tournament
1 NCAA championship
We all wish you and every other "fan" who won't even give the coach a chance would. We all would be much happier. You were probably one that was calling for Stoops to be fired in year 2. This post by you says it all. I can't believe the nonsense you spew.
We know. We've seen the posts and threads. Nothing will change your minds as a collective.
Don't care.
A few weeks ago: We were going to have to give Calipari 33 million to leave.
Today: We got a bag of chicken nuggets and Arkansas gear in exchange for him.
Mitch is playing chess, not checkers.

Hey, Drew wasn't my first choice but if he is announced, I'm going to be excited about having a new coach and see positives in it.
I said the other day, with him as coach, we're going to see continuity in our program year over year, we're going to celebrate Senior night again, and my hope is we aren't mercenary University anymore. There is going to be a fan connection to the program that won't just be tuning in to March (and be disappointed).
The Kentucky we all loved could very well be back.

Drew has more Finals Four and National Titles than Coach Cal did before he got to UK. Also Coach Cal had 8 or more losses in 41% of his seasons before he came to UK and missed the NCAA Tourney in 35% of his seasons.
I can’t stand Barnhart but firing a guy for hiring a guy with a national title and before he’s coached a game might be a little reactionary.
Yes! They've demonstrated they can pay players however they see fit and get away with it in the past. The press would've LOVED him had he taken that job. Now they only love him a little bit because he has knocked us down several notches.
That's gonna leave a mark....
I will give most a chance. The only one I will not would be Rick P. Everyone else has my support.
Danny Hurley is/was my #1 Billy the Kid my #2. If those do not work out then Drew was in my 2nd tier actually a little above Tier 2. I would say he was behind Billy by a bit.
If it is Drew then lets get him here to get his team and get them ready for 2024 /25. Hopefully in a year or three we will be back in the Maui and other events. Hopefully we will have some better home and home games. Things like that.

If you’re looking to not be disappointed in March, you might want to keep the coaching search open.
Yeah, I think another issue I have with a lot of our fans is that I don't think we are near as high as some think. Cal won a lot of games at UK, but the reality is, he hasn't really won any that mattered in 10 years
And we’ll continue to tank with bad hires. On our path to Indiana
I'm curious what game Mitch was playing when he gave out the contract that was the very reason we were looking at having to pay Calipari 33 million to leave.
