I think I know why so many are against Scott Drew.

Cal brainwashed part of the fanbase. Maybe they are the younger portion who doesn’t know that we have been UK and won with Tubby, Pitino, Joe B Hall, Rupp AND Cal. We are going to be fine.
Some seem to think that Coach Drew is just some Bible Thumping Boy Scout. Perhaps watching how his 2021 team dismantled Gonzaga would be good homework. His team has some Dawgs.

A large part of the opposition seems to be anti-Christian, dislike of Mitch (also could be somewhat anti-Christian) and that he's supposedly Mitch's friend (also an example of dislike of Mitch).
The legitimate concerns are his post season record which is somewhat tempered by his Championship and also the fact he's at Baylor which did nothing at all before he got there and was actually pretty much a DOA program.
Another concern seems to be we didn't pursue Hurley or Donovan which may or may not be true (I think not true) and both those guys might not even be interested anyway.

I could care less about his religion as I believe most here would agree. I care about his coaching and bringing and keeping or developing top talent (which I prefer portal following U. Conn's lead). If Coach Drew can do that he can be a Buddhist monk.
What I don't get is the posts about his record and fear he won't get top recruits. Cal got top recruits every year, how has that worked out the past 9 years? Why are some wanting a repeat of the very model that doomed us? If you worry about that issue then you should have begged Cal never to leave. I say let's get a coach who knows how to coach a team, make adjustments during a game, help players improve, don't play favorites, and so on.
Those wanting instant gratification are missing the reason for the change.

This is an excellent represent illustration of my thoughts. Get ready for tubbyball.
I’m not sure you can say boring with Drew. His offensive efficiency the last 5 years is pretty good.
I chose to live in a world where I hope that this isn't true. But I'm sure it true for some, but I wouldn't think many. I was raised religious, but while I'm a believer, I'm not playing for God's variety team these days.
As far as Drew not being flashy and not the big personality type. That's true. But to those that remember Kentucky winning and largely still do well outside of Pitino and Cal, they know it can be done. I wasn't around for Rupp, so no clue there. After Cal, I honestly feel the health of this program needs Drew right now. It's not just about Ws and Ls. This program needs to get healthy. The brand needs cleansed. The culture restored. For these reasons, I do believe Drew is our guy. ...for this moment.
And no, I'm not going to throw a fit like a toddler if another coach is hired. I'm ready to roll with any of them. Absolutely ready!
True that, but also it’s nice if we can get to know players and see some basic fundamentals displayed.
