The fan base needs a big name with a proven track record of winning and recruiting. Nothing less is going to fly.
If Donovan says no....
- Thread starter sambowieshin
- Start date
Can’t say this enough. Pearl is NOT coming.
Son is coach in waiting there, loves, auburn, has all the NIL $
What did Duke and North Carolina do ?? They hired young unproven coaches who had ties into there program!
Yeah, she’s thinking… We left racehorses and wildcats, for pigs and chickens!
I'd be fine with an offer to Lloyd...short but impressive resume.

Beat Kentucky at Rupp lol
I think he’s someone we want to watch though..he’s intriguing. Let’s see what he’s done in 5-10 years
Outsider fan here but one that really would make sense from me minus experience would honestly be Tyler Ulis.
KU has Aaron Miles and Jeremy Case as former players that likely would be candidates—Miles has been an NBA assistant for several years. Not saying they would be top choices, just options.
I think if y’all signed a stop-gap type coach for 2-3 years and help Ulis get a mid major job (not sure what he’s up to) for a short stent for experience…. That would be a home run long term.
I think as long as the coach knows ball and cares about UK, the school recruits for itself.

$19M buyout.Tommy Lloyd - Wikipedia
He’s not leaving Zona
Pope will probably leave BYU though..
Has Ullis coached anywhere at any level? It’s been pre pandemic that I even heard his name. What has he been doing since the NBA?
Agree but only after Donovan say no. Personally I add Pitino but I understand the hatr
Rivalry aside and barbs aside, genuinely discussing - Rick has a cardinal tattoo on his shoulder…
Would that hire actually go over well? He’s also 72… you’re talking about 3-4 years at the most before you’re back to this place again.
I wish I trusted Mitch more.
We've been turned down many times before. Thanks no biggie. Lots of coaches can succeed here. But as we have seen, even a good coach can implore here. I don't believe has a clue what the secret formula is between the two.
So we just hope Mitch falls into a good hire 'cause Mike Pratt ain't walking thru that door to bail him out this time.

Exactly.. the schools listed got crazy lucky...then even luckier that the coach stayed forever and STAYED good, which Cal did not. Self and K at Kansas and Duke... lucky to have it workout like that
..I'd throw in Roy Williams for UNC too...lucky to steal him and he stayed forever...none of them ever interested in nba. Let's see what Hurley does...if he never goes NBA then uconn got crazy lucky too.
Lucky, Kentucky not so much...our guy(pitino) left instead of staying a lifetime and being a coach k like legend....ahh in another reality of the multiverse.
Dude I gaurentee that would be removed likely publicly . Also he helped build the empire. He took the job when UK on probation and win 3 FF and 1 title ( I SAY 2 titles 4 FF as Tubby win with Rick's players) in 9 years. He is HUNGRY. Even at 70/71. It would be storybook an dominate headlines an ulti.ate FU to CCC. Other tbsn Rupp he was best coach UK ever had. Throw him 3 years at 20 mil with 2 year option if Billy says nawwww
I understand the history. It’s just a wild turn of events to have a dude coaching your team with a tattoo of the rival.
Hes not getting it removed btw, he had stated it. But I don’t think it’s the right move at all for UK.
Why Mitch isn’t looking at Pearl and Wade is beyond me
He’s never won more than 24 games in a season.
He’s never won a single NCAA tournament game.
He’s never landed a single top 100 recruit.
What in the world has this guy done that has him in people’s top 5 as the next Kentucky coach? He could end up really good but he’s nowhere near there yet. Billy Gillispie had a better resume when he was hired.
What's left to look to that doesn't have major baggage following them or the old age factor?
Damn ..so that's why he isn't mentioned. Same as the Iowa state coach, TJ , his buyout is a ton.
Now I’m a pedophile??? HahahahahI figured you for a tard laced pedophile...![[laughing]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/laugh.r191677.gif "Laughing [laughing]")
Alright, very strange pivot there. Is that what “ghettos” are known for…. Or is that more of the back country conservatives game… why don’t we check the record books on that one.
Did you actually go to UK?
Shaka seems really happy where he is. Apparently UL kicked the tires and he said he was good where he was
He was just extended and buyout went up.Except the info provided by the resident tard is wrong... 12 million not 19...
Dude… stop 😂
Maybe you should inform the LHL obelisk taker...
Just to play devils advocate, why? That hasn't been UK's recipe in the past. Cal had more final fours than any coach we have ever hired.
