What makes you think next year Uk would "make sure" they got the right replacement? What is the right replacement, just someone you like? Who decides what the "right" replacement is? It all depends on point of view, and everyone is different. Not everyone would be happy no matter who the hire was/is.
I still have a weird felling all of this is Mitch trying to stall, and that Donovan is the guy.
If he can do it at the Big 12's equivalent of Vanderbilt, why couldn't he do it at Kentucky?
Well my hope was Mitch wouldn’t be here lol. I was hoping that knowing Cal likely only had one year to do something amazing that enough people would get in Barnharts ear if he was here.
They are embarrassing and proves other fans points when they call us spoiled, entitled, ignorant, etc…
Fluke huh ?? Teams Baylor beat in 2021 :
We didn’t want either of those coaches. Drew is a clear upgrade that will have us ready to compete year 1.
Some people like to whine and complain just to simply whine and complain. The majority have no clue what they are even crying about in the first place. We have some of the dumbest "fans" on the planet! This is a very good hire and was IMO the top option of coaches we had a realistic chance with. If you can win a title at Baylor...you can certainly win a title at Kentucky! Go Cats!
Because of Ky's pressure. He is a reserved and quiet guy. But maybe lights come on? And he takes the job extremely serious?
You just trumped it with a dumber post. You should have no credibility if that's what you think.
Have you ever even watched an interview by him? Press conference? Speech. How do you KNOW he's a reserved and quiet guy? And why does that matter?
Duly noted.
Tubby won with players he did not recruit. This is such a lame comparison. Do better...
How many big12s has he won? What’s his record against Kanass?
What if I think it's a bad hire?should I be happy with what I think is a poor choice because he's better than Cal?
Let me rephrase it. He smiles alot. He has a good spirit about him. I'm not against the hire. I just hope he has the tools to really excite us and get us reunited.
Since you’re so good with facts what’s his record against Kansas and how many Big12 tourneys has he won?
They actually became friends during the covid year. Maybe not best friends or anything close but they have been friends for certain
how many of those teams had players in covid protocol when they played? probably not all but some did... and how many first weekends has he gotten past in the tournament since?
Might be a nice change of pace.
I don't know what to tell you man. You're entitled to your opinion but if he's the guy then kicking and screaming about it won't do any good. There are only so many options out there and I'll take him over Shaka Smart or some shit.
So explain to me these great X and Os, and offensive style...serious question. Everyone says it, but I've never seen Baylor used as an example like Hurleys set plays, Bill Selfs High/Low, Oats analytics/3 point shot. No way he survives this job
NONE. And the #1 ranked and undefeated Gonzaga, they beat the piss out of. My points was and is a FACT, the title was not a FLUKE.
well, he has won the same amount of titles as Coach Cal, with less talent, so I guess that means at worst we are staying the same lol
CBS Sports article pre season this year...ranked Drew over the likes of Calipari AND Hurley.
We gave Tubby a chance first, and he won a natty title and several other very competitive teams. If we hire Drew and he gives us what Tubby did, we could do a heck of a lot worse.
Btw UK is 7-2 lifetime against Baylor but Cal was only 1-2 while here against Drew and Baylor.Stole this from another board. Nice factoid.
