If I’m Mitch

UK has been to 60 NCAATs, 4 first round losses ever, 2 in the last 3 years. Why is this tolerated by the Admins. it cannot just be about the money. UK can raise the money it is a yearly hit lessened if he takes another job. Get it done.
Not to mention the record-setting abomination in 20-21. I don't care about COVID. Kentucky basketball should never look like that. And it hasn't gotten a ton better since. Not when it really matters - in the tournaments - anyway.
 
I do think there’s a possibility that they agree to rip up the current deal and agree to a new 2 year deal(that he can’t be fired from) at the same salary. Then they go to work on NIL for Reed to return another year, one more real recruiting class in 25(24 is blah) and he can just retire afterwards. Financial cost to the university would be less, the time commitment less, and everyone saves face avoiding a firing.

Not saying it should or will happen but it has crossed my mind as something Mitch might pursue.
Would be a good option imo for all parties.

Just don’t want to rush into an unsure hire.

Nobody has a realistic sure fire guy. Thousand names suggested.
