Realistic timeline for New Hire

[CatFanInIlliniLand]

Obviously, it wouldn’t be announced today if it was Dan Hurley. (I don’t think that happens, but would be elated if it did).

What should our expectation be for a timeline for announcing a new coach?

Is today too soon and an unreal expectation? Should we be worried if we don’t have a coach a week from now? (Example: if we were hiring Donovan, do we wait until the NBA season ends?) I honestly can’t remember how long it was between BCG & Cal. Felt very quick.

Needs to happen this week.

Need to get in and try to keep a couple players (either ones on the roster or signed recruits)
Also needs to get busy in the transfer portal ASAP

If UK doesn’t have a new coach one week from today we are in a world of hurt. This has to go fast for a number of reasons - assistant coaches, recruiting, transfer portal.

Got to get rid of Cal first.

Nate or Scott will be here by the weekend.

Due to the timing it has to happen pretty quickly. Week, week and a half

Mitch should have been considering replacements for years. He should have been quietly determining mutual interest since the end of the season.

If we don’t have a coach by the end of the week I will start to worry.

There has never been a head coach with a NC ever come to coach here.

We're moving into unchartered waters with who we are targeting.

If Hurley, it will be next week most likely, maybe this weekend

If an NBA guy maybe next week most likely the following since the season ends Monday 4/15

Other college coaches, it will be a couple days I think

Can't imagine it would go beyond the weekend.
