Pilgrim eluded to that there was a coach that had more interest in the job than you might think. Who do you think he was talking about? Or was he just talking out his a$$?

Crean
It would have been a huge step up.
They all are clueless. One guy manages to get some inside info on Patrick Patterson 20 years ago, now a handful of people who probably couldn't manage a C+ in a Sports Journalism class all have careers in sports media.The more I listen to him the more I’m not sure Pilgrim knows much about anything. He always talks in such generalities and NEVER gives any specifics.
He has been wrong on so many recruits and UK related stuff that I think he just throws vague stuff out there that “he can’t get into specifics on” and then when something becomes public knowledge he “knew it the entire time”
We would all get to laugh at least. Maybe go back and watch the 2016 round of 32 game and get back to me.There’s no way you actually believe this. And IF you do, please elaborate on how and what he’s better at?
1:12 into the game and he’s already exasperated.

Why are you providing evidence that you are also arguing against? Are you stable?If you can use an instance from 8 years ago, why is Cal judged so rigorously over the past 4 years?
Before anyone says it, yes the last 4 years are unacceptable and not up to our standards and changes have to be made still.

8.5 million a year and you don’t have to win a regular season title, conference tournament, can have the worst season in school history and break the record for most home losses in a single season… and you got a portion of the fans that are happy and defend it??? Hell yeah coaches would want that lmao
Of those two, I feel that Donovan would thumb his nose at us. He's a highfalutin. Wright would look professional, ACT professional and communicate well. And he's handsome!Wright or Donovan? Lol
I wish.
There are plenty that would want the job for 8M reasons, plus the fans, the history, and the facilities, but that doesn't mean a coach wanting UK would be a good fit FOR UK. Obviously, Cal seemed like a good fit at the time he was hired, but some quickly realized it was immediately all about him and no longer about UK once he was hired.
Stevens? Donovan? Wright? Or he could’ve just been talking out of his @$$.Pilgrim eluded to that there was a coach that had more interest in the job than you might think. Who do you think he was talking about? Or was he just talking out his a$$?
Wasn't there a mention in the past 2 days of a coach (homerun) still playing (S16) who may be interested. I think some of you thought that would be Oats. But I'm wondering if it was Hurley. (partly because I don't think of Oats as a homerun)
He’s a purely West Coast guy. He might take the job if offered but can’t see him dreaming about UK. Oats is a guy I could see as dreaming about Kentucky.Personally I’m holding out hope it was Tommy Lloyd….saw some speculation he could be interested in 2025 and everything is setup for him this year to finally stop choking and make a final four. Arizona has equal talent to UNC and is playing the Regional in their backyard (LA) while UNC has to traverse the entire country. If he can’t get it done this year though I would eliminate him from future contention.

I could see Mitch doing that...and then rubbing his chin and saying, "but I'm just not surrreee."No way any of them know something like this.
He was never firing Cal, and if he was gauging interest, him and maybe one, at max, two other extremely trusted people ever knew about it.
So even if you had a source directly inside the ADs office, does anyone think Mitch is just walking around the athletics office like “Just got off the phone with Jay Wright, he’s actually pretty interested”
Complete bs lol
I thought Self just got a raise that put him above Cal? I could be wrong though.When coaches see you can make the kind of money Cal does and have a 9-16 season and have a 4 year span like he has recently and it be acceptable, I’d say a lot of coaches would want this job. Last I checked popovich was the only coach making more than Cal in the nba.
He is now. In the nba last I checked popovich was only one making more. I think self gets like 9.5 million a year nowI thought Self just got a raise that put him above Cal? I could be wrong though.
I set behind Cincy's bench back in the Nick VanExel days when I was a young student at Samford .. went down at halftime and borrowed a seat 1 row behind ole Bob ... what an earful those players got .. it was pure comedy . Then had a friend who played for him at WVU . Dudes legit crazy1:12 into the game and he’s already exasperated.
Still though I get your point what coach wouldn’t want this job when you don’t have to win anything and still get paid handsomely…. Hell Mitch’s phone would ring off the hook when it does come open because they see that dumb@ss from a mile away….He is now. In the nba last I checked popovich was only one making more. I think self gets like 9.5 million a year now
I looked it up again and that’s changed in the nba theirs a few coaches that make more than cal now in the NBA.Donovan makes 6 million a year. cal makes 8.5. No way Billy wouldn’t be interested in this job.Still though I get your point what coach wouldn’t want this job when you don’t have to win anything and still get paid handsomely…. Hell Mitch’s phone would ring off the hook when it does come open because they see that dumb@ss from a mile away….
So one random game out of 30 years of coaching makes Crean better than....anybody? Damn, dude, you need to logoff for a while. You're losing your mind. I really hope you never experience any REAL tragedy cause judging by the way you're handling this news, you'd need to be institutionalized.We would all get to laugh at least. Maybe go back and watch the 2016 round of 32 game and get back to me.
Why is it always so vague? I assume when a person who is habitually wrong makes a claim with no specifics it’s likely BS.Pilgrim eluded to that there was a coach that had more interest in the job than you might think. Who do you think he was talking about? Or was he just talking out his a$$?
