Forgive me, I currently have a Saturday buzz, but would Mark Few be on the short list? Would he leave Gonzaga for Kentucky? His buyout details? Thanks in advance

Mark Few…
- Thread starter SophiesDad
- Start date
Thousand years at Gonzaga, recent DUI - going to say no. Tommy Lloyd would be the analog for Few.
No.... Although hiring a drunk is in our history.
I'd much rather have him than Cal at this point.
Wins , wins and wins , great X and O guy .. I'd take a hard look .. Can you surf at Cave Run or the Great Ohio ? Dui was a dumb mistake but I wouldnt let it rule him out . Not saying big time yes , just depends who else nibbles
The guy wins 30 games a year , just schooled us in our house , and everyone is a hard No .. I dont get it
So you're saying we go for Huggins? Bold
I’m not saying he can’t coach. If we were going to go that route I’d prefer the younger version in Lloyd.
Hopefully the people bringing the DUI up are a hard no for Beard as well.
I agree as well. He gets talent at Gonzaga too and actually coaches them up. Wonder what he could do here with even better recruits.
Huggins and BCG as Co-Coaches. We'll be so tough.
Few has openly talked about how much he enjoys the low pressure of Gonzaga and being able to fully enjoy the offseason w hobbies….idk that he’s a personality fit for this high stakes game of poker.
That said, he would instantly be the media darling, refs like him, NCAA likes him, and most the high ups on the CBB world want to see him win a title. Those things would maybe cancel some of the anti-Kentucky disdain from a few of those organizations and wash the bad taste CalUK association from those groups mouths as well.

Neither do I. The guy has spanked uk 2 straight years and coached circles around the clown coach and is still playing in the tourney. Everyone just wants to criticize him for a dui. So glad everyone else is perfect
We have people saying no to Few because of a DUI, but would take a woman beater, a coach who has his players involved in murder then says nothing when the other players make a joke about it during the game, and a known coaching slimeball. Color me confused.
Holy Rollin bastards...all these guys are sinners, as we all are.... some of them just get caught
Tommy Lloyd might be our best overall bet of a realistic coaching hire, who is very good, and not too old. He got Arizona to the Sweet16 and the Pac12 is crumbling. Arizona just lost its AD, they have financial problems. Kentucky might be very desirable for him.
I swing a mean Bible , love the Lord , but my goodness , he's applying for coach , not my pastor or priest or AA sponsor !! ( no one search my post for sins , they are many )
If he buys us all a round of fire cal shots then yes he is on the short list. I mean even having a FEW before games he Coaches circles around CAL
He's beat us the last two times but who hasn't lol

I truly hope that the people choosing a new head coach would look for someone to be here for a long time. Like 10 years, minimum. Need someone 45 to 55 years old.
I'm not opposed to Few. Our recruiting would definitely change. We'd be getting lots of international players. The shooting would definitely improve.
You’d absolutely take few or Lloyd but I think both are happy where they’re at. Obviously same with Hurley. Nate Oats would be my first realistic call. If not him then Scott drew it is
I don’t get it either. He’s made Gonzaga a better program than us. He’s a good x and o coach. Makes no sense to me
Mark Few is never leaving Gonzaga, he loves it there. He's publicly stated one of the reasons he loves Spokane so much is the fly fishing. He's Exhibit A for showing money isn't everything and sometimes coaches find their perfect school. That's his, just like Villanova was Jay Wright's and UConn is most likely Hurley's.
He's not a hard no for us, we're a hard no for him. He's never leaving Gonzaga. He's publicly stated one of the reasons is the fly fishing in Spokane. He absolutely loves that city and school and is never leaving, money or opportunity at other schools be damned.
