Seriously Who would be your first choice for a coach?

Calling Tubby the worst coach ever at Kentucky is truly insane. He won a title for God sakes.
Frank Vogel.
A few years ago I would have said Dwane Casey but Cal didn’t move on and age has eliminated Dwane.

I love the logic the Cal lovers use.
Coach A: Don't want him, he hasn't won anything.
Coach B: He's already won a title, he has no reason to come here.
I guess when Cal finally does leave we should just shut down the program because we won't be able to get anyone else.

Most of the great ones are old but would Rick Pitino come in for 3/4 years? Could Shaka handle the UK job? Beard has a past would he be considered? Would Mark Pope be able to get the talent here?
Rick Pitino is obsessed. He doesn’t have time to stop
The Hall of Fame coach, at 71, is considered perhaps his generation's greatest coach, and its most controversial.theathletic.com
I would want either Scott Drew, Danny Hurley or Billy Donovan. With what UK has to offer, I believe we could get Drew or Hurley. Donovan might be tired of the NBA and wants to get back into college coaching, if he does there's not a college job that's better than UK.
Bad comparison by you. Payne had ZERO head coaching experience.
Pope, didn't do great last year, but the 5 years prior he went 116-47 (average 23.2-9.4). Plus he has started this year 7-0, with 9-pt win over SD St, 28-pt win over Ariz St., & 9-pt win over NC-St.
Plus don't forget the unique challenges coaching and recruiting at BYU.

Hang your hat on ccc's 1st win over a ranked team in forever.
He follows that up with a loss at home to a mid major. Great consistency.
And everyone used to say the same thing about Dean Smith. Had more talent than anyone, and now we find out the Carolina way of taking fake classes didn't help either. Mark few is the guy. He wins year after year without the 5 stars and all the embarrassing losses. And he can actually coach. His guys improve yearly. But he has found his spot, so I doubt he leavesLloyd or Hurley in a one potato, two potato.
Couch Cal is a one trick pony who has been embarrassed year in, year out with an overwhelming advantage in talent. No one has done less with more in the history of sports.
He now has more Quad 4 losses than NCAA tourney wins in the last 5 years.
Don't forget he lost the all times win lead and will lose it a 2nd time. Another negative record he will set
I would call:
Lloyd
Hurley
Drew
Take the first who accepts. All can recruit at an acceptable level for UK fans. And they win games. 2 have rings. Lloys is probably not far off from his own.

I’ve always wanted Donavon or Stevens.Most of the great ones are old but would Rick Pitino come in for 3/4 years? Could Shaka handle the UK job? Beard has a past would he be considered? Would Mark Pope be able to get the talent here?

I am good with anyone whose name isn't John Calipari.
Yeah. Some don’t understand this I don’t guess. So many built in advantages just with the program name alone. Pope could create an identity and a culture here and not this OAD BS. Actually have some continuity. Not sure why some don’t think he could do well here. Media raves about him.
I wouldn't advise taking the first to accept but, that's the list right there...or, it should be.
Drew will get the first call from Barnhart and he would run out of Waco for $6 million per year. Possibly significantly less.
Lloyd is a West coast guy but, he would listen.
Hurley is a East coast guy but, he too would listen.
I like the way Drew's teams compete on every possession and develop over time. Hurley's teams have a toughness that flows from their coach. He and Drew have proven they can win the big games.
Lloyd is a big mystery. Great recruiter and solid in game coach but, hasn't proved he can win at the elite level yet.
Give me Drew or Hurley at $6 mil per year and Let's Go!
I like all these guys. Unfortunately, I don’t see any of the three taking it.
I think Drew would take the job. In fact I think he would jump at it. Not fully convinced that either Hurley or Lloyd would.
I repeat.....just about anyone would be an improvement to our current coach.
You still post like a 12 year old in the game threads?
If Mark Pope graduated from any other school, he wouldn't be mentioned.
Whoa!
? Are you thinking of Bobby Hurley?
Danny Hurley is his brother. Not a Duke guy.
Shaka failed at Texas. I'm not sure he could hack it here either.
Hurley Vogel Pope. 2 with KY ties and Hurley who would absolutely dominate with KY resources.
That will require a new coach.
He never went to the NIT and he never had a 9-16 season….
Agree with this 100%. The one poster loves Mark Pope. If he had zero ties to UK he would never be mentioned.
Tom Crean will always be my first pick. My favorite coach of all time lol.
He has graduated to creating threads calling others out for bashing...
