Like Goodman says he isn’t getting a full but I and others have been saying this for sometime. He’s not anywhere near ready to retire. So assuming he makes 5-6 mil somewhere then he will get a couple seasons salary. About half his buyout. That’s completely manageable and cal does not want his legacy to be “fired from Kentucky”. That’s only reserved for some bad company. A big east school May appeal to him or even based on what Kelvin Sampson has done hell maybe a school like umass would take a shot on him.
The second part is what makes this so enticing. Bring Pitino in for a 3-5 year run. There is the holtmann love group and that guy is gonna get canned. Maybe pitino can bring him in or frank Vogel who is unemployed, hell or both AND rondo. Why not? Bc pitino cheated? Well newsflash according to UK fans prior to Cals arrival he was a cheater. The rest of the country still sees the guy with 2 vacated final fours as a cheater. If you want automatic excitement, a riveting story and plan for the future, offset a little of the buy and land a hof coach who still is a winner this is a no brainer.
Anyone know if pitino will be at the 1996 get together? That’s the perfect time to start the dialogue and would be a wasted opportunity to not pursue him.
