If I’m Billy Donovan

[Swifterz]

I’m finally going to Kentucky if offered. He’s kind of on the hot seat in Chicago. Let’s say he gets fired this year or next, then he’s out of a job. Go to Kentucky now. The timing just seems right. It’s a substantial pay increase. Hell he might even express his interest behind close doors.

His comments were very interesting to me. Said he hasn’t been contacted “yet” (so he’s expecting to be in the mix) and that his focus “right now” is on Chicago.

Everything these coaches say is meaningless until they’re being offered. What are they supposed to say? “Well I’d listen” or “I might be interested?” Then if they’re not even offered their fan base would be furious (rightfully so).

Hurley or Donovan are HR hires. Drew, will still better than Cal imo, is not nearly as exciting. Give me pearl of few or even golden before Drew.

It's got to be the hire. The timing is literally perfect. Hot seat at Chicago. 10 years in the league. Kentucky waiting for him with maybe 11m a year. No brainer here for BD.

UK would wait as long as BD wanted if he would just say yes. We have all summer or as long as it takes to get BD.

Wait......are you Billy Donovan?

Gotta be burned out of 82 games a year and virtually zero success.

efore Drew.

Hurley is a good coach, but NO DUKE player
please.

We are losing players. We need a coach pronto

 

[TM2013]

Timing will never be better. Just let an interim coach lead them to their inevitable play in loss and lets get to work.

 

[KYExtemper]

Based on what I've seen, if this search drags out for another week then we might get Donovan because the Bulls will be eliminated by that point. Otherwise, who knows. He's not leaving until they are eliminated.

[L.O.D.]

Here in Chicago Donovan to UK has been discussed a ms a decent possibility. Noone here cares as They want him out anyway. We would have to wait 3 weeks for him . What team would be left at 3 weeks?

BD would need to low key verbal. And Talk to Reed . Reed stays wd can just load up in portal after he's here an be fine.

BD ia well worth the wait.

If not I woyld take Pitino on a 3 year deal

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

will you accept a 9 win or worse season next year? Because by the time he can start recruiting.. no one will be left but the Askews / Ware level players in the portal. and our players and recruits will have already left because they aint waiting that long

 

[RondoBaller21]

Worth the wait.

What does Reed have to do with anything.

If BD wants the job I say wait for him even if it means throwing a season in the dumpster. That's where it was going anyway. It's more important to get this right.
