List of Coaches to Replace Cal.

[Ocornett]

Let’s keep a running list of coaches we should hire to replace Cal. Every time a coach wins a game against a descent team someone starts a new thread about hiring that coach to replace Cal. I’m not supporting Cal, but it’s really difficult to keep up with the coaches we want to hire. Please use this thread to post the name of who you want to hire to be our new coach. Just keep bumping the thread and by the end of the BB season we will all know who our next coach will be for the 2023-2024 season.

I put my name in the hat. Hell, I will even take a 50% pay cut if all I have to do is stand on the sidelines and let the players call their own plays.

 

[Ocornett]

Great start to the list, and I truly believe by the end of the season we will have our man.

Good for you where have you coached? We really need someone that’s beaten a good team this year.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

The Short List :
Robert Montgomery Knight
Ratface

 

[Wonky]

Literally anyone. I don’t even care about wins anymore, Cal stole that joy several years back. I just want someone who isn’t a complete dickhead to fans and media.

 

[jcbu246]

Tony Bennett

 

[TNCatfanforever]

Donavan would be my first call. Surely 10-12 million a year to get out of the league would be enticing.

 

[CatPhight]

That's me...

 

[TFCats11]

There’s really only about 5-6 that are even going to be considered, and I’d bet the ranch one of those would accept the position if offered.

Now it’s just wait two more disappointing seasons and we’ll know. Patience everyone.

 

[Cowtown Cat]

Greg Gard.

Good one. I like Arizona’s coach. Plus, he’s not that old, I don’t believe.

Just what everyone wants, another post of future coaches.

Tommy Lloyd. That better? You don’t have to participate in the thread.

 

[RogCat1119]

I like Iowa State's coach

Nah. You’re in love with John Calipari. He’s become a total bum of a coach.

Sorry you got triggered bub.

 

[NavyCat88]

I doubt we could get him, but I would shoot for Jeff Schwartz.

Considering Cal has served as nothing but a de facto NBA sports agent while employed by UK, we might as well swing for the fences and get the very best NBA sports agent out there (Schwartz) to replace our HOF HC.

GBB!

IMO:


The only ones that might pick up the phone and are reasonable and worthy, right now:
-Eric Musselman
-Scott Drew
-Chris Beard

Pipedream, but won't happen:
-Billy Donovan
-Brad Stevens
-Jay Wright
-Mark Few

Mitch would never hire him and they are too old
-Bruce Pearl
-Rick Pitino

Shiny toy that hasn't done anything significant, but plays a sexy, but risky style of basketball and would get crucified when it didn't work at UK
-Nate Oats

Others mentioned, but with no college experience to have their first job be at UK
-Dwayne Casey ("I'm too old for this s***"
-Danny Glover voice)
-Frank Vogel

Get off Rafters
-Chris Holtmann

Thoughts on Tony Bennett?

I like Bennett. All except for his boring offense. However, if he had high level athletes, maybe he plays more fast paste! 😆

I'm in.

As a player/coach we won our church league division.

Took BSU college girls teams to the championship game in bball and softball.

I love UK. I'd be here to make UK great again!

 

[Zissou87]

Thoughts on Tony Bennett?

Totally forgot him. He wins championships in the regular season, but typically chokes in the tourney. Dude makes a lot of Cinderellas. Also his playstyle would put Dave Baker to sleep.

 

[westerncat]

Rick Pitino !

 

[Rockford]

but typically chokes in the tourney

OK, I'll play.

Who is it that DOESN'T choke in the tourney that you guys want?

 

[BassProCat]

A coach and staff that actually watches film and puts together a real game plan to attack the opposing teams weakness…that’s who I want!

Also I want a coach that doesn’t automatically play to the opposing teams pace…

 

[BaronReborn84]

Musselman would kill it at UK imo

 

[blackcat714]

Rick Pitino !

No doubt he would have us knockin on heavens door in no time.

 

[Aike]

I would go with Tommy Lloyd, based not only on style of play, but on how he was able to hit the ground running at Arizona.

Now that he’s on the sidelines, you would expect Jay Wright to get a call.

There are some other intriguing candidates, but hard to bring someone to Kentucky who hasn’t proven themselves on the big stage.

Some may say Lloyd hasn’t proven himself, but top 5 all last year, Sweet Sixteen, right back in the mix this year early, entertaining style, guy in his 40s…he’s the kind of guy you take a shot on.

I know we’re so selfish as fans, we want a coach to literally do his job, gosh we have such high standards

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

musselman
Lloyd
Long shot Scott drew, those are the 3 that should be considered

 

[BassProCat]

I know we’re so selfish as fans, we want a coach to literally do his job, gosh we have such high standards

I can’t even get excited to watch the rest of college ball cuz I’ll just get upset by watching coaches that actually get their teams to play vs real comp!

 

[ukjenning44]

Bugs Bunny!
We have Elmer Fudd coaching now and everyone knows that Wabbit always outsmarts Elmer.

 

[Oldbluefart]

Good for you where have you coached? We really need someone that’s beaten a good team this year.

I haven't beaten any good teams, but I haven't lost to any good teams either!

 

[Lionel_Hutz]

Scott Drew is my #1 right now.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

Same I’m not gonna lie and say I’m not going to watch as I like Kentucky and college basketball to much, but it definitely is bittersweet
