I'm assuming you meant "worried" right? Anyway, I would be surprised if the next UL coach will start out making as much as RP is making now unless it's some home run hire...and I don't see that happening if the NCAA brings the hammer down on the UL BB program.
For a doctor you sure are a knuckle-head
Everybody on here (except the mod) has called you on this baloney
Give it up dude
I agree, no way they pay the next guy Rick's salary. UNLV will need casino money to match it.
I really wonder what big name would take it?
I can see a Little Miller and he would be a good hire. Cronin.
Otherwise no "name" coach would go there for these reasons:
NCAA sanctions are coming.
UL not an NBA feeder, top recruits do not consider them.
Cal and UK 60 miles away.
Duke, Indiana, and UNC jobs will be opening in the next few years.
Indiana fans, don't pay attention to Brian, he really meant Purdue or Butler but not IU and Tom Crean, it was just a type-o. Tom Crean will take IU to the Promised Land! I promise!

Why?
UofL exists in a protective bubble. All the fans care about is winning - they won't insist he leave, or even want him to leave. The local media guys, other than Rick Bozich, aren't going to say anything - if you're in a small media market, and your lifeblood is advertising dollars, and all the local businesses take direction from Jurich, you don't rock the boat.
They didn't get rid of Pitino for sex on a table and the related national scorn. They didn't care when ESPN, SI, and Fox went nuts with criticism over the Petrino hire. They don't care that the school Prez has embarrassed himself time and again, don't care about FBI investigations or AG actions or embezzlement or whatever. If all you have to worry about is CNN or USAToday being critical, you don't have any worries, because they'll be on to another story tomorrow and will forget about your troubles soon enough. ESPN was completely indignant about Petrino 2 years ago - not a word about it in the coverage of their bowl game.
Some guy on the UL board says this was a mistake and people got RP and Cal mixed up.
The real story is Cal met with Unlv brass and money guys like www last month in a top secret meeting.
Man glad that ul guy cleared all this up. I mean huge written stories in credible papers have talked about cal as a 120 million dollar coach and possible GM, but not one storie about a secret meeting in Vegas. But we have a guy on a rivals board who knows the truth, and he saves this incredible information for a message board. Lol amazing.

While in Vegas recently I saw a construction project underway. It was their new arena. Vegas in trying to land an NBA team. Not sure if UNLV will share the arena.

And why not?
It is Louisville btw.
Celtics are 2nd tier compared to the greatest commuter school of all time.
What's not to love?
A pristine reputation of ethics and morales.
No drugs or dead cheerleaders.
An easy opponent right down the road.
And never a hint of NCAA sanctions.
I'm surprised Phil Jackson hasn't applied.

Next year Pitino will make 5 million dollars and the fired UNLV coach was making 700,000. No way Rick takes a pay cut like that, but whose to say UNLV wont give him the money. I agree in big cities college sports are usually more of an afterthought. And I think a young exciting coach would get them more excited in Vegas, but Pitino could win games out there. The west coast produces great talent, and UNLV has got 3 or 4 McDonalds AA in the last handful of years. Just seems them and alot of the west coast teams seem to underperform.
When Pitino leaves we will get a good coach. Will it be Brad Stevens? Considering his is about to lead the Celtics to the playoffs again I don't think he leaves anytime soon
It is not about the money at this point, Rick has money, it is about Rick taken control of his future before someone else does.
This is a hot topic on the Little Brother board Zipper and Senorita are lathered up..What will we do if ESCORTino leaves..
better worry about the NCAA dweebs...the clock is ticking...![[laughing]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/laugh.r191677.gif "Laughing [laughing]")
better worry about the NCAA dweebs...the clock is ticking...True, and they are about to increase their lead in years on probation after they get hit for the hooker scandal. Not sure UofL fans realize that they have spent more years on basketball probation than UK has, and that more years are coming.
If they cut p.rick loose w/out proving he knew about the whores/strippers, they'll be responsible for the remainder of his contract. I'm not sure they can afford to pay 2 top of the line basketball coaches at the same time.
They will work it out, especially if Rick is the one pushing to leave.
But who pray tell is that other top coach you reference in your post?
Prior to strippergate their next coach was Richard the Lesser. That was the deal between Joanne-Rick to Jurich as penance for her silence post Sypher. But strippergate and Richard the Lesser having failed has frankly allowed Jurich to drop that part of the deal. Now Pitino will have to beg in order to keep his own job and an heir apparent is apparently no longer....on the table, as it were.
I don't care if the Celtics had a worse record than the 76ers, Brad Stevens is never going to UL.
Brad Stevens?? LOLOL
You sound like every fan of every school in America. They all think Stevens is waiting for the job to open up. Especially IU, and I hate to tell you....but Indiana has a much better shot. UL will land some up and comer, decent guy, but not a homerun. You have to remember, UL isn't Duke, UNC, Kansas or Kentucky. You're NC State.
Dude, careful. You don't want to get Wolfpack fans angry!
ESCORTino is beginning to lose it..Lashing out at press conferences...flipping off fans...his nutz are tightening up..This NCAA investigation will hammer Little Brother..there will be no mild penalties..He gets 1 Mickey D in 5 years of course uavel fans stick their heads in the sand..Just win Baaby..What a scummy slimy program..and losing 8 outta 9 to UK is driving them to distraction..Maybe Ricky just wants out..If Comb Over Ramsey gets canned the new President may actually want a clean program....
Synopsis- UofL fans are not realistic...and you need better buddies.
Pearl would be a great hire for U of L, but I think his baggage won't allow it to happen.
This is awesome. Is it conjecture on your part, or do you know stuff behind the scenes?
There...fix that.
Sorry IU fans, some people don't realize how lucky you are to have Tom Crean...
Remember, you are talking about the most profitable program in all of college basketball.....

Ha sometimes I think the same. He's a good dude, unless you try to talk UK or UL. Then the looney stuff comes out.
Maybe "Richard the Lesser" has been used before and I missed it. But, no matter, I spilt my drink when I saw it in your post.
