Call me crazy, but I want a coach who is dying to be here, who would walk to Lexington, like Cal in 09, someone like Pearl.
If Drew is on the fence about coming here

I think he stays at Baylor and I’ve thought that from the beginning.
Can Trilly say Dan Hurley as accepted the offer please? lol
Scott Drew isn’t built for UK. No offense to him. I’m sure he is a good man.
He’s been at Baylor 22 years. Give the guy some credit if he decides to stay loyal to that. It’s hard to leave something you’ve been at that long.
He will probably stay at Baylor win the championship next year, he’s not ready to be Kentucky’s coach he ‘s not a good fit LOL
He doesn’t post that tweet if he was leaving Baylor…it’s gonna be BD
If his wife’s not on board, that’s a real issue. The pressure of the UK job is tough enough without also having to deal with a spouse unhappy about moving.
Of course, Pitino’s wife also apparently didn’t like it here, but that didn’t stop him from having fabulous success,

And this is a perfect example of “personality fit” mattering here that we all keep harping about. Drew can win here…but would he be happy w the new lifestyle or would it be stressful and tough to acclimate to?
Mitch doesn’t understand this bc Mitch has the personality of a wet paperbag….but his job requires less of that trait. He’d be better at his job if he was more personable but he can effectively manage behind the scenes….the UK coach will be in a very hot spotlight whether they want it or not.

Dead on w the family dynamic. The difference w RP is his personality was huge and thrived w the attention. SD likely feels similar to his wife of wanting a quiet life
then say hello to Mark Pope because thats the best coach that desperately wants to coach here
He isn't built for UK. But some folks on here are oblivious to the fact.
It's not just his wife. He's building a 14000 sq ft home and his mother in-law is moving in with him and she doesn't want to come to KY either.
Yup. Anyone who actually knows anything about the guy knows the chance of him coming here was always incredibly slim.
But a coach who hasnt coached college in nearly a decade is?
Chris beard, Shaka smart, mark pope, time
It increasingly sounds like he’s probably gonna turn it down, most likely for family reasons. And that’s cool. They’re obviously very happy in Waco. And it ain’t wise to mess with happy.
So on to a Plan B!
So on to a Plan B!
Not one you have to beg. A young energetic coach who wants to make a name for himself and millions. Not an already made coach who is rich and ready to become fat and lazy like Cal became. Not one who has worked hard to climb that mountain and now more relaxed about coaching coming down.
If that to be the case, my goodness.
People are going to be so angry and sad when all the top guys reject UK and even guys like Bruce Pearl are rejecting UK and we are searching below him.
I would take Pope over the other two
The last I saw was that drew is having a hard time deciding and may be leaning towards staying at Baylor
He stays at Baylor and beats Arkansas for the championship.
Man, a lot of you are falling hook, line, and sinker for typical coach speak. NO coach is going to come out and say "I am very interested in the job, I will do anything to land it", they are called contract negotiations for a reason. They will play it cool, negotiate for the best contract they can get. Never show your hand.
Hurley "ask my wife"
Drew "I have a itch to coach KY, but my wife blah, blah, blah"
Come on guys, neither guy may not end up being the coach, but do not believe every damn X post you see by coaches and / or insiders.

I mean, was he insulting him? I don’t think so. It’s honorable if he wants to stay. Good. If that’s how he feels then he should do that.
He simply said he wants someone who is excited to be here, not someone who is conflicted about coming. Both can be true simultaneously.
I can tell you from experience my parents moved from Florida to Kentucky the Summer before my junior year in HS. I guarantee he is getting alot of pressure from his kids to stay.
