NIL or not, I don't think he would've been successful. Some people are simply better assistants .Not HC material. Him not embracing NIL, especially at a basketball school like UoL with money, was a bad move.
Ultimately I don't think so either. It's just that that was one of the big factors he failed at.NIL or not, I don't think he would've been successful. Some people are simply better assistants .
Georgia TechI wish nothing but the best for Kenny Payne and I hope he ends up at a good program. =)
Here's some trivia: name the only team that Kenny Payne's Cards beat twice.
Fraud? Disgrace? POS?Payne is a POS and Cal better not bring that damn fraud back to Lexington
He’s a absolute disgrace to the sideline and a lazy one at that
I actually feel sorry for the dude. Seems like a good man.

I'm in favor of severing the rivalry. Our program has elevated them too far. We got them out of mid-major status. Rivalry is a joke anyway. What is it, like 18-3 since 2001?Now if we could be so kind as to quit having any Louisville players on our bench, and stop the intermixing of these programs. It cheapens Kentucky every time this happens. Began with “Pitino players in the NBA” with our players on their wall.
No more Louisville players here, UK players and coaches there, no more. No more no more.
You never see this anywhere else.
All 12 of them!
That’s not right though is it? Doesn’t IU have no one committed?The article says UofL is the only Power 5 school without a single signee for next season, although they do have one verbal commitment.
His level of failure is just stunning.
Welll. We might be getting their women’s basketball coach…..Now if we could be so kind as to quit having any Louisville players on our bench, and stop the intermixing of these programs.

There is more to recruiting than "traveling". You're constantly trying to "sell" the school, dealing with recruits telling "well this school said that UK bla bla bla", recruits looking for handouts and guaranteed spots / playing time. And then you deal with sometimes neurotic and controlling parents and the kids' "camps".I think Payne is probably lazy there’s some validity to this. He did not like to recruit and was given a “works with the bigs” title. Which essentially means he’s not even much of a coach and we gave him something to do. Usually not being a fan of recruiting in this business means you don’t want to travel.
Payne was just a guy that would do as he’s told and Calipari could trust him. That’s the only type of guys Calipari allows on his sideline and these guys are typically associates not coaches, or can hold serve in recruiting (salesman). He doesn’t usually have “coaches” on his staff to be honest. It’s more like a marketing business with employees.
Payne does well to do what the coach wants, play some Batman and robin, smile, and never cause problems.
I do not want Payne back on staff. It doesn’t do us any good, I’m ready for guys like welch to assume those roles.

If he were on our staff this year, we would be getting much more production out of our 21 feet of centers. He has always been great at developing big guys. I'd like to hear what you mean by POS, fraud and disgrace associated with Kenny Payne.Payne is a POS and Cal better not bring that damn fraud back to Lexington
