Pitino, McCollum, Golden on Kansas fans wish list for HC

[deputy assistant]

There is no world in which Golden wouldn’t crawl from Gainesville to Lawrence to take the KU job.

Top 3 job in the sport.

I doubt it. Kansas is good at one thing. UF is good at many, while also being a bigger overall brand and job. I couldn’t pick the Kansas logo out of a police lineup.

One is a blue blood. These two jobs are not the same.

It’s like being the Sheriff vs deputy assistant

I'm going to talk out of both sides of my mouth for a minute.

1. It's a small thread. Just a handful of unreasonable Kansas fans are posting about Self needing to move on. We know we have our small portion of the fan base that are unreasonable.

2. Why aren't the national media talking about how unreasonable Kansas fans are being? We suffered through 9-16, 2 1st round exits, no 2nd weekends in 5 years. Even then, all the national media talked about how Kentucky is so unreasonable. We have ridiculous unfair expectations.

KANSAS HAS A NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP IN THE LAST 3 YEARS. And now (even if it's a few idiots) some fans want him gone? We would be getting crucified on tv.

You know the answer.

Kentucky is the biggest national brand in CBB despite ESPNs constant pushing of a few other programs. We have the largest and most rabid fanbase. We drive ratings of the sport in general. Anger sells…same as with the news…, riling up our fanbase gets more engagement than writing nice things.

The interesting thing about Kansas is they finished 1st or 2nd in the Big 12 every year under Self except for 1 year (finished 3rd) in his first 20 years. Now that they expanded the conference, he’s finished 5th and is currently tied for 6th with 3 of the newer schools in front of KU.

I think it’s less about the new members and more about the current landscape of college sports with NIL and the portal. Some coaches and administrations thrive in the old format, some in the new. It’s about how you adjust. JMO

That was the old days. Nowadays anything in the sec js better than anything in the big 12. Golden is going nowhere unless its a big ten or sec paycheck.

You have no logical proof that he is a creep or dodged a bullet. You are assuming he was guilty of the acqused allegations. I will assure you that if he had actually been guilty of the allegations he would have been fired and prosecuted. You are a creep to make the statement that you can tell by looking at him that he was guilty. Dumbest statement that has even been posted on this board. You are a total embarrassment to the University of Kentucky to post such ignorance on this board.

If he was guilty or still is they are taking their sweet time and waiting for the season to be over.

We aren’t talking school wide but basketball wise Kansas is much more prestigious.

You hit the nail on the head with this statement!

Because even with all that no one cares about Kansas. Yeah Kansas fans do. Yeah basketball fans might. But really - despite their history and great tradition - no one really cares about Kansas.
