UConn fan on there talking crap. God those people are assholes. Yankees….. pfft.

If they determined they could get him I’d be good with that. Like your above post I want to take him just because of how smug those people are.
He c
He could also be playing along to get max leverage on a contract extension.
Ding, ding, ding - we have a winner! He's stated he is a NE guy...his wife is a NJ person...he's stated he wants a dynasty at UConn....
People forget that. Wouldn’t be the first time somebody used UK.
Was genuinely excited at the opportunity we had after Cals move. Instead Barney’s landed us a lesser version of Tony Bennett.
Tony Bennett couldn’t rebuild Baylor like Drew did.
No to a guy who has been college for the last decade and has success but lets bring an nba guy who left college becuse he hated recruiting. Also NIL would make his hate for recruiting even stronger

There are several that should have been seriously approached before Drew. But this was always Barnharts plan.
It will be interesting to hear your comments after the Duke game next season.
Same. I think he misses it here already. Looks miserable down in Fayetteville today.
We’re going to base the new tenure on one game? And we wonder why people haven’t jumped at the job.
Whoever this is going to be we’ve got to give them some time.
Right back at ya! Half the fanbase at least is where I'm at on this hire. Check the polls on here. Half is probably generous.
Agree. He doesn’t know if he is walking or riding. His Howdy Doody ass needs to quit posting. Period. Thought it said Matt, not Mitch. Matt Jones is a total moron with no info.

The person I was talking to said he didn't want BD because he would take too much time to make UK again but thinks Drew makes them good next season.
Is everyone delusional? Scott Drew posted a picture at lunch while his family was there of him having lunch with a booster. He’s not coming, he’s getting a raise.
Hurley, Drew and Oats have all said no…

Don't we play Dook, IU. Louisville and UNC (ACC challenge) next year? Lose half and this fanbase will go nucking futs.
Oh and of course Ark.
I wholeheartedly agreed with the guy on the cast whose dad started Wildcat Liquors. Mitch seems to be in too big of a hurry to validate his list. Drew was at the top. A wise CEO would interview all three candidates and then determine the best fit when the job is as big as being the UK head coach. Waiting a week is worth it.
So, as a person of faith myself, I’m going to pray tonight that Coach Drew and his family discern what is best for them in prayer. Maybe that will include not rushing into a decision and also praying for UK and all our fans that the best coach be chosen for who we are too. And if that is Coach Drew, I’m on board. But if it’s not, and Hurley or Donovan are discerned to be a better fit for the program, I trust Coach Drew and his family will discern that too and even communicate it to Mitch.
Perhaps Coach Drew can model something for Mitch Barnhart regarding the spirit of patience and humility for a job as UK’s head coach being bigger not only than the coach, but than the AD too. UK needs it badly.
I said competitive I didn’t say good, competitive means they can put together good stretches. You want a coach who hasn’t coached college in 10 years and hated recruiting. Also one game early In the year doesn’t define the year. I get it you don’t like Drew, but you are complety writing him off before he has a chance to get settled here
Nobody knows anything. He could come in a slay or he could choke. That’s true of any coach anywhere.
Hurley struggled at UConn for a couple of years before he got rolling. He was 15-8 and 23-10 his first two years there.
Maybe it’s wrong for me to feel this way but I hope he is as miserable as he’s made us the last few years watching and listening to him.
IU is not next year. It’s Gonzaga but they were gonna have to play tough games regardless
Don’t think Cal intended to leave. He played the wrong cards. Thought YK would balk. We didn’t.
Mitch wanted his hire this time. That's all this was. Mitch wanted Scott Drew and by god he was going to get him. And it seems like he did.
If we don’t give a new coach time and immediately go bunkers, well, we deserve the karma that will befall us. Hell we gave BCG two years. Drew has to at least get that much time.
But after all we have suffered lately from Cal how will fans take it if we have 2 poor seasons?
We look at it as a fresh start not a continuation of Cal’s era. Drew won’t likely swoop in like Cal did and get us a Final Four his first year. Gotta give him time to build.
Weirdly I’m not blown away by Hurley, he has already won 2 championships. How many coaches just keep winning unlimited titles. The guy isn’t John Wooden or Rupp. Eventually people are gonna figure out his system and how big of a jerk he is to his players and it will all balance out. He caught lighting in a bottle for sure but has not done much up until lately. I don’t know why I feel that way but I’d rather beat the guy then have him coach my team.
Can’t we just give the man a chance? He was down my list as well, but I’m going to pull for him and Kentucky basketball 100%.
There will plenty of time to bitch and moan if things don’t work out.

I think 2 seasons is enough time to start getting a picture. That third season is where you make a decision. BCG didn’t get a third because of his off the court issues combined with his on court issues.
