I don't think Kenny Payne has much time left at UofL - would welcome him back onto the staff when he is let go. What a staff we already have and then you add him back into the mix it might be the best ever assembled by Cal.
Kenny Payne ...Time to Come Back Home
- Thread starter Galbpt02
- Start date
He’s still got work to do. His assignment to completely destroy UL basketball isn’t quite over yet.
What kind of idiot would want him back? He's terrible.
Future conference realignment should finish up that job.
Payne was a fine assistant. He most certainly wasn't terrible.
Good luck to UL because they are going to need it. That program was a mess before KP took it over. Fire a guy after only 1.5 seasons. Yea, you're going to probably doing it again in less than 4 seasons.
How do you even know that? Wasn't he the assistant during the losing season a few years ago? And for most of our current slump. And now he proves he has no coaching ability whatsoever and people want him back?
He was an assistant from 2010-2020 here. And he was hired by the Knicks afterwards.
He wasn't the problem. IIRC he was an excellent teacher for the bigs.
The same idiots that wanted Coach O back. He’s a quality assistant and everyone in the basketball world knows it.
Are you effin high!!!??? KP was one of if not the best assistants in the country! What an ignorant statement!
How about you leave the fanbase!
Agent Payne is almost done with his assigntment.
Because I don’t want the UofL head coach to come back to Kentucky? Are you a moron? Serious question
Trade them Bruiser for Payne. Other than that I’ll pass.
Kenny made his choice and left. This isn’t land of a thousand opportunities
I don't know enough about the new AD to know if he's the type to fire a guy 1.5 season in, but I know he and KP both walked into an athletic department that had lots of issues.
They're lucky the ACC is hot garbage and Brohm is a native son who only took the gig because it's home...otherwise it'd be really ugly over there.
I tend to error on the side of 3 years for most coaches. I think KP should get another season, especially if he can get a decent recruiting class. Who knows though, they're a funny lot in Da Ville. They've always been a bit holy for their collar.

It wouldn't be shocking to see Coleman take a shot at being a HC somewhere, Flint could take another try at it as well. Ulis might move up somewhere. Especially if we do big things this year.
He was very good as an assistant at Uk. Dumb take to think otherwise.
Louisville will not be bare next season if Payne is still there. They have some solid guards. They've played all month without the 7ft 1 freshmen who was rated 25th in the class. Been out because of shoulder injury that he's had for a while.
Hatfield will be a Sr next season
James will be a Jr.
Clark will be a Jr.
White will be a Jr
Johnson a Soph
They played without Traynor tonight and the 4th game in a row.
Louisville is far from bare. Giving a coach 18 months is just asinine.

Nice guy who looks lost and out of place. Not everyone can be a head coach
Next year? Very possible. I'd like to see Ulis move up the ranks at UK and not somewhere else.
Some like Payne, some don’t.
But, by all means, let’s be sure to belittle and degrade each other here if someone has an opinion other than yourself.

Jesus himself couldn’t coach that non talented bunch to a winning season. Why do you think KP or anyone else could?????
I’m not saying you’re wrong but care to provide the evidence for this take?
I think it would be a bad look for Payne to go back to UK
nor do I think UK should take him
Go back to the pro's, go coach an Austin Peay level school, go be an assistant for a major P5 other than Kentucky

Some of yall go back to the same woman over and over after she cheats?
We are f***ing Kentucky, we don’t need UofLs garbage
Get a grip

Terrible take.
There’s a lot of coaches out there who were great assistants/coordinators but not cut out to be head coaches. Kenny Payne might be one of them.
I don’t, imagine how long UofL fans will claim that the entire thing was a setup to further out UofL in the dumpster forever. It will eat at them forever. That’s worth a roster spot to me.
that doesn't do much for Payne as a coach or person. UL gave him his shot at glory. Going back to their rival doesn't show much gratitude
