Hypothetical Question - Say UL Athletics did a 180 and hired a truly classy, AD, B-Ball coach, and eventually FB coach, could your view of them ever change? I was pondering this, and I'm not sure mine ever could. My biggest issue is their fans. I'd be interested to see everyone's opinions.
OT: Can your opinion of UL be changed?

Nope i will always hate them with the intensity of 10,000 white hot suns and hope they lose every game they play
I don't care who they hire I will always hate UL. They could hire the pope for all I care & they will always be dirty. I hope the NCAA destroys UL.
If they had truly burned the program to the ground and started fresh, I'd consider respecting them. But the fact that they installed a silly puppet to the current regime in Padgett (who very likely knew about all that has transpired) makes me laugh at how idiotic they truly are. That will apparently never change.
Living in Louisville, U of L fans have made it pretty impossible to cheer for them in any sport at any time. Hope they never win another game. Ever!
I'm more likely to run off and join ISIS, than ever hope for good things at UL.
No. Even if Mr. Rogers coached the team.
That's me. Can't stand them mainly because of having to share a city with them. No "classy coach" will make things any different. You can't polish a turd and make it any better.
not unless they fire their fanbase and get a more intelligent, less delusional, non-envious fanbase
It would take A LOT to change my opinion of them. It's not just the coaches and administrators, it's the whole culture of their athletics department. If they truly changed the entire culture I would consider not rooting against them, but their fans make it really hard not to hate them.
It’s gonna be nearly impossible for them to change the national perception that they’re dirty and have a win at all costs mentality. Most of my encounters with their fans have been less than positive, to put it kindly.
No I have hated them them since the 60's. Back when Peck Heckman, and John Dromo were coaching. I really disliked them even more when Crum arrived, and made wild claims about his players being better than UK's players. Ricky Gallon being better than either Rick Robey or Mike Phillips.

Can ZIPP ever be classy?
Hell no screw them.
Hell no screw them.
They could bring in the classiest people, but they would still have the same fan base. The little brother mentiality is just too strong with their fans.
UL has a decade or more of work to do to restore any semblance of a reputation, as a university and as a sports program. Two decent coaching hires won't even begin to make up for almost 20 years of corruption and sacrificing of the university's academic mission on the altar of bigtime sports.
It is not the school per say that i hate. It is the people who cheer for the school that causes this feeling i have. Well that and the con game the whole sports department ran for years.
But after so long, even if they shaved their line beards, stopped the stupid first name basis of players, got rid of Crown Royal as the official drink of the fan base, got rid of the stupid L's up, L1C4, and other bullshit, i still could never like them. Too much damage has been done.

LoseVile I say change the mascot to whale turd they are so LOW .
I would move to North Korea before I ever rooted for UL.
They purged the leaders. When they purge 70% of that win at all costs fanbase, then I could give them a little love.
Haha no. I mean I respected Denny crum but still hate them. They are scum. Anybody that tries to protect people that have zero morality will never get my respect
My opinion of otis could definitely change—for the worse—depending on the next scandal they become embroiled in. ![[cheers]](https://ct.yimg.com/mr/uploads/891/5628.gif "Cheers [cheers]")
I suppose...Not sure if there's room for more hatred, but it's possible.
I'll start down that road when I find a a UL fan who's sorry for something other than getting caught. Most of them still pine for Jurich.
I would support Germany in WW2 before da ville. Those who have never lived in Louisville all I can say is live here one month. Nothing could ever be done to that fan base to make you care for the school.
My hatred of UofL runs deep...but that said...due to Pitino and Jurich being gone it could certainly make me hate them less.
Never, they'll still be "OTIS" and no way will they ever get 1 cent from me that has anything to do with U of L period. I.E. going to the Chicken Center for whatever is being hosted there or any other event /events being hosted by U of L.....
No. It's not just their coaches, ad or players. It's the fans too. Eff em!
its their fans that make them the worst...the fact that their fans were completely ok with their coach and university having multiple scandals tells you all you need to know about the average u6 fan
Think you mean Robey and Phillips...MT was a few years later.
These sentiments are exactly what I feel as well. There is no remorse. They're always victims, just like their coach. Win at all costs.
Take a look at their scout board thread about Jurich's interview:

.......I'm ok.
I love him to much and nothing he says will change anything. He is still gone, and we still have to move on.
I will always have a place in my heart for Jurich, Coach P and Ramsey.....but nothing they say will change where we are right now.
FlossY Out...
My thoughts exactly. Hope Tom wins his lawsuit. I know that hurts Louisville but he got totally screwed
