I think if we got a Tommy Lloyd or someone it would be fine but we can’t get a Sean Miller or something and that is supposedly someone Barney had on his radar.Thanks for sharing that. Encouraging to see how much the Baylor fans would hate to lose Drew.
For those who wouldn’t be satisfied with Drew…trust me, it will be a bad sign if he turns us down and we have to move to the next tier. This search can’t go past Drew if we want to be relevant again right away.
Hiring someone because they are a pal sucks.I hated when Cal did it and will hate it if Mitch does it.I know some here have mocked the Mitch/Drew relationship but you can't blame Mitch if he chooses Drew. He just went through several years of a fractured business relationship with Cal which was both of their faults but that isn't sustainable long term. It was actually pretty bizarre that Mitch and Cal barely talked and Cal put the program on an island. That's the opposite of what Drew would do.
That there is, at least this dude knows they have a good coach and that UK is a premier job. I love his diss of IU and UofL. He did throw in the jab about losing in the round of 64… ugh Cal!! We never had that happen before you.We never offered Oats and unless it's happened and we don't know. We haven't offered Donovan. I'm not sure we have officially offered Drew. Alot of rumors everywhere right now
You're right but I want Hurley.I know some here have mocked the Mitch/Drew relationship but you can't blame Mitch if he chooses Drew.

No doubt about that, we were at the pinnacle too. That hurt especially because Pitino was setup to become coach K. In my honest opinion Rick would be known as the best coach ever by now and probably still here even today if he stayed. He would easily have 5 titles and probably 10 final 4’s by now.Cam kind of knows how we felt in 1997
Most of us want Hurley. But does he want us?You're right but I want Hurley.
There are 70 million plus reasons he mayMost of us want Hurley. But does he want us?

Most everybody knows UK is a premier if not the premier job in college basketball. They have a good Coach and he built that program from scratch but Baylor is not UK either. I simply don't think Drew can handle this job. It will eat him alive and he will burnout from it. Just my opinion. I like Drew. I'm not knocking him at all but this job isn't for some.That their is, at least this dude know they have a good coach and that UK is a premier job. I love his diss of IU and UofL.
Nah….go get Golden. He’s hungry.Thanks for sharing that. Encouraging to see how much the Baylor fans would hate to lose Drew.

Would need to be quite a bit plus. Sure, $10-12 million might get him for next year but he's not going to come hereThere are 70 million plus reasons he may
Being a pal is a positive if you're Mitch, but it's not the only reason he'd be hired. Plus Mitch likely retires soon so you wouldn't have the whole "he won't fire him because they're friends" angle if Drew ends up sucking. Pressure would be put on the next AD to make the move if it came to that.Hiring someone because they are a pal sucks.I hated when Cal did it and will hate it if Mitch does it.
Watching this video...does Scott choose Mitch?I know some here have mocked the Mitch/Drew relationship but you can't blame Mitch if he chooses Drew.

The young man in the video seems pretty worried. As I said in another thread, when Drew said no thanks to Louisville, in my mind I thought Cal would leave this year or next year would be his last and we'd get Drew. Based off of nothing, I think he ends up our new coach. We won't have the euphora we had when Cal accepted the job but we also believed Cal would retire here and bring us 3-4 titles too.Watching this video...does Scott choose Mitch?
To the part I bolded, YES THIS. I’d much prefer Drew over Lloyd or Miller.Thanks for sharing that. Encouraging to see how much the Baylor fans would hate to lose Drew.

Drew is a solid hire, just not the exciting that it energizes the entire fanbase hire like you said. The man won a title at Baylor, so what could he do here with UK’s resources?🤔The young man in the video seems pretty worried.

Mitch is about to retire, why would this decision be based on choosing someone he personally likes and wants to work with?I know some here have mocked the Mitch/Drew relationship but you can't blame Mitch if he chooses Drew.

I’ll take Chris beard over Drew thoughTo the part I bolded, YES THIS. I’d much prefer Drew over Lloyd or Miller.
I mean, yes, I agree. But you’re basically saying Drew is the worst coach we should actually consider.Thanks for sharing that. Encouraging to see how much the Baylor fans would hate to lose Drew.

I disagree, respectfully but completely, with this post. There are dozens of top high school players who would jump at the chance to play at Kentucky, almost without regard to who is coaching. U.K. will be "relevant" (using your word) in 2024-25. Write it down.Thanks for sharing that. Encouraging to see how much the Baylor fans would hate to lose Drew.

We are screwed if he says no because we will be in a territory of people with weak resumes. Shaka Smart has somehow continued to get jobs and get mentioned despite literally two NCAA Tourney wins for 12 years.If Drew says no, UK will be the laughing stock of the college basketball world.
We are going to offer Smart next after 0-4? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Isn’t Beard is an alcoholic?I’ll take Chris beard over Drew though
You are correct. There's no one after the top 4.We are screwed if he says no because we will be in a territory of people with weak resumes. Shaka Smart has somehow continued to get jobs and get mentioned despite literally two NCAA Tourney wins for 12 years.
Obviously a best case scenario but say Drew get JQ to stay committed brings edgecomb and brings his best players from Baylor and hit the portal well i think fans would be pretty energized going into next year. You would have a few top tier freshman with experience and a good coachDrew is a solid hire, just not the exciting that it energizes the entire fanbase hire like you said. The man won a title at Baylor, so what could he do here with UK’s resources?🤔
Yeah, the rumors don't really tell us much. If they were all saying the same things, we might have something worth believing. But we're hearing a bunch of different things, and several of them are contradictory.We never offered Oats and unless it's happened and we don't know. We haven't offered Donovan. I'm not sure we have officially offered Drew. Alot of rumors everywhere right now

And shaka smart. Mitch is a moron. Does he not watch college basketball?I think if we got a Tommy Lloyd or someone it would be fine but we can’t get a Sean Miller or something and that is supposedly someone Barney had on his radar.
