That’s what UK does for coaches….Package deal for both
That’s what UK does for coaches….Package deal for both
This is beyond ridiculous and nothing any school would ever considerI think for Hurley to consider it the offer would have to be more like $100 million for 7 years with maybe a 1st year of $11-12 million.
Ok. Yeah I just seen Zags tweet but there is tons of Hurley and Billy D smoke too. Nobody really know IMO.There’s crap circulating at Baylor that he’s already been offered
not really... if he is happyIf this is actually true and he declines, YIKES
If that bothers you, don’t open the threadIF Hurley becomes the coach here, there will be 20 threads on Rupp Rafters after each loss.
“This is what $11 million gets us?”
Who's the best source?The point is Mitch is in talks with Drew. At least according to the best source at the moment. It’s also clearly who Mitch wants.
I’d bet $100 on Drew vs the field
You really believe there is “no reason” Hurley wouldn’t come to UK? Like, really believe that?This is also a silly comment.
No reason in the world to think Hurley wouldn’t come to Kentucky
Theres no reason in the world to think Hurley wouldn’t come to Kentucky
Cal can't f'n coachIt’s a lateral move at best. Not the guy worth running cal out for.
How accurate is Adam Zagoria tho?Ok. Yeah I just seen Zags tweet but there is tons of Hurley and Billy D smoke too. Nobody really know IMO.
What about Oats? Are we giving up on him?Agreed, but I think it should have been Hurley first, get a definitive NO, then go Drew. If he went Drew first to save $$ and to help his buddy, with a plan to go UP to Hurley if he said no, that's just asinine and very, very Mitch-conservative typical (not politically conservative, mind you...).
I don’t see any other media reporting the “Drew & Uk closing in” talk other than zag. One of the last dudes I’d trust nowadays.Ok. Yeah I just seen Zags tweet but there is tons of Hurley and Billy D smoke too. Nobody really know IMO.
Yes, I really believe that. He’s not the coach now because we had a coach. In addition, he wasn’t proven when we needed a coach then.You really believe there is “no reason” Hurley wouldn’t come to UK? Like, really believe that?
If so, why is t he the coach right now?
UK fans have lost their damned minds
Offering a blank check to Hurley then having Drew as the backup (for way less $$$) is the right move by Mitch.
I'm fine with Drew. We need someone that can get here immediately and start focusing on the roster. I'm wary of Donovan for that reason alone.
He’s usually more north east stuff, I’d trust him to know more about Hurley than I would Drew honestly.I don’t see any other media reporting the “Drew & Uk closing in” talk other than zag. One of the last dudes I’d trust nowadays.
Ok, then why haven’t they announced him as coach today? If there is no reason he wouldn’t come why isn’t he in Lexington right now?Yes, I really believe that. He’s not the coach now because we had a coach. In addition, he wasn’t proven when we needed a coach then.
Silly questions
And we’ll have thousands on HOB for each W n March 😂💙🏀Funny!
Zagoria > the Kentucky insiders. KSR sharing it as well.Who's the best source?
Zagoria has been out of the game for years. Ask @ralphdaltonfan his sources are sour.Zagoria > the Kentucky insiders. KSR sharing it as well.
Well, if Mitch is doing Drew first because it'll cost us less, Oates would be more $$ than Hurley simply because of the insane $18m buyout. So yeah, I'd say he's going to skip him just due to the money part.What about Oats? Are we giving up on him?
Not throwing cold water on anything. Am I not allowed to share posts from reputable analysts that share information on who UK is going after. Sorry it hurt your feelings.Hmmm. It's like you're working ovetime to throw cold water on any thought of UK getting a big upgrade. How could anyone see you as a UK fan instead of a Cal fan? Family or close friend I bet.
Ok, then why haven’t they announced him as coach today? If there is no reason he wouldn’t come why isn’t he in Lexington right now?
Your post is nonsense
The coaches payout has nothing to do with tuition, it does at UCONN because the support the athletics program, we don’t. We fund all our stuff and the TV money takes care of the rest. Plus like $8 million of Cal’s salary was from the coaches show and other outside factors that paid him.UK tuition going to hit Ivy League levels
To my knowledge, Cal didn’t let Kentucky know until today. Therefore, the coaching search couldn’t start until after.Ok, then why haven’t they announced him as coach today? If there is no reason he wouldn’t come why isn’t he in Lexington right now?

I mean depending on how good of friends they actually are and how much they talk which i don't know the answer too. However if my best friend was naturally a top 3 candidate for a job I was hiring for I don't think it would be out of the question for me to talk to him and basically let him know that or whatever the situation before I called the top guy. That doesn't mean I'm not trying to hire the superstar who was my top candidate. Mitch couldn't call anyone to try to hire them until Cal notified Mitch that he was leaving.... Mitch can still call his friends and talk about what is going on in his life though....The point is Mitch is in talks with Drew. At least according to the best source at the moment. It’s also clearly who Mitch wants.

We shall see. Drew has been the obvious choice from the get go. I don’t love it, but it is what it is.Zagoria has been out of the game for years. Ask @ralphdaltonfan his sources are sour.
Zero impact on student tuition. UKAA is self funded.UK tuition going to hit Ivy League levels
I agree. I didn't say we'd offer that. I have the completely non-controversial view that he will not consider leaving UCONN for UK without a ridiculous offer.This is beyond ridiculous and nothing any school would ever consider
Based on his previous post, his IQ definitely comes into question for meSTOP coming here to tell other posters how dumb they are and how smart you are. That's ALL YOU DO.
Fair point. Very fair. I just don’t have a doubt in my mind that it’ll be Drew and I’m trying to not get my hopes up with the Hurley and Donavan talk. If it’s one of them, amazing. Gonna be prepared for Drew, though.I mean depending on how good of friends they actually are and how much they talk which i don't know the answer too.

Maybe see how Drew does first?If it's Drew we keep the fire Barnhart and friends crew alive until we run him outta town
