I'm not sure how he would ever be able to recruit again with the way he acted towards the players while here.

For all the crazy stories we've heard about BCG and UK players, it must have been tame compared to Texas Tech. The team actually went to the AD and wanted a NCAA violation be filed against him... He was hated by them.
 
Everyone makes mistakes and I hope he has gotten over his drinking problem. We need to forgive and move on. I hope only the best for him.

I'm glad he was let go and is not our coach. That was an awful period. He was in so far over his head and self-destructed before our eyes. If he has gotten his life together then I am glad about that.

I don't blame his 2 yr debacle on him as much as I blame it on the one who hired him. I can't blame BCG for accepting the offer to coach UK, but he should have never been offered in the first place.

He beat Louisville at Rupp didn't he? That's gotta be worth something.
 
I really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really think thats a bad question.

A very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, bad question.
 
I have no animosity for any former coach or player from UK, good luck to him and glad he's still coaching. The dude can coach.
 
A guy overcomes his personal failures and tries to better himself and that is bad?
I repeat I'm happy for him as everyone should be. If you don't agree then you are a heartless piece of crap. Nobody is perfect expect for some here I guess.
