I totally 💯 agreeIs he ready for UK? Maybe so but if not I think he will be a great coach sooner than later.
You could be right but I think Cal is suffering from the same fate that Tubby did. He has surrounded himself with a staff of guys who aren't quality coaches. They are taking up space on the bench and contribute nothing to the betterment of the team and players. Cal, because he has ties to most of them, will not let them go and get quality guys so the whole team is suffering because of it. The same thing happened at the end of Tubby's tenure. IMO Cal should just clean out the entire bench except for Ulis and possibly Coach O and get guys who know how to coach.Agree, and not what I'm trying to say. My point is, find a hungry, passionate coach regardless of where he's coaching at right now. Cal's flame has burnt out.
You have to let them contribute. Accept suggestions. Delegate some of the defense and offense along with inbounds plays.You could be right but I think Cal is suffering from the same fate that Tubby did.

I don't have access to practices to know how much they contribute but I do know with this current staff we have been mediocre for 4 years in a row.You have to let them contribute. Accept suggestions. Delegate some of the defense and offense along with inbounds plays.
I haven’t seen that in Cal
Didn’t we have a womens coach?NO! She is perfect for the women’s game. Young men won’t play for a woman. I have seen it fail miserably in High School
Plus Cal never replaced the void from losing Robic. I feel he was able to keep Cal in-check and did a LOT more on the sidelines during games than what we as fans were privvy to. Look at the decline in development and post-season success after he was off the sidelines.You could be right but I think Cal is suffering from the same fate that Tubby did.

Bernadette Locke Mattox was an assistant under Pitino.Didn’t we have a womens coach?
Please compare their respective records to Cow's putrid performance, with above average talent.The people who don’t trust Mitch Barnhart to hire a coach has suggested Bruce Pearl, Dusty May, Buzz Williams, and now Todd Golden to be the coach.
What does Cal have to do with Todd Golden being unqualified to be our coach? This thread isn’t about Cal, it’s about Cal’s hypothetical replacement. I know y’all are obsessed but Cal is irrelevant to this conversation.Please compare their respective records to Cow's putrid performance, with above average talent.
Kentucky is 2-8 in their last 10 postseason games (counting SEC tourney games), and UK was favored in every single one of them.
2019 vs. Auburn: 0-1
2021 vs. Mississippi State: 0-2
2022 vs. Vanderbilt: 1-2
2022: vs. Tennessee: 1-3
2022 vs. St. Peter's: 1-4
2023: vs. Vanderbilt: 1-5
2023: vs. Providence: 2-5
2023: vs. Kansas State: 2-6
2024: vs. Texas A&M: 2-7
2024: vs. Oakland: 2-8
Why would anyone trust Cow to be the coach?
Great? Seriously? Why not Tyler Ulis if we’re hiring unqualified coaches?If the heavy hitters aren’t interested Golden would be a great choice.
The staff aside from Coleman are CAL’s guys and yes men. They can all Coach but CAL micromanages everything. Coleman and Cal have had more than a few heated battles on the sidelines because he isn’t one.You could be right but I think Cal is suffering from the same fate that Tubby did.

Golden is a head coach at Florida and is young and hungry and before that at San Fran he has experience running a program and building a roster. Let’s catch lighting in a bottle. He may be the next Pitino Self or Few. Ulis is an assistant early in his career, he may get there one day but today isn’t qualified to be a HC for any program let alone KY.Great? Seriously? Why not Tyler Ulis if we’re hiring unqualified coaches?
Idk man the blue devils look sharp right now.One thing I do know, if I was an AD and had to choose between Golden or Scheyer I would take Golden all day and twice on Sunday. At least his players and team improves from the start of the season to the end of the season. The same can't be said about Scheyers teams so far.
I will hold my judgement about how sharp they look when the play a good team. Beating a 12 & 13 seed and especially when you are hot and hit 50% of your 3 point shots isn't the best barometer of how good they are IMO.Idk man the blue devils look sharp right now.
At the time Rupp was "forced out", he had reached the Ky. mandatory retirement age of 70. The mandatory retirement age requirement was modified in 1978 to allow some positions to go beyond the age of 70. GO CATS!!Rupp started when he was 28. But he was forced out 😆
Just some context before we go about attacking other potential candidates. None of those guys may not be the best pick, but they are all more "qualified" right now than who is sitting in that seat FWIW. If anyone is obsessed it is because we are watching our current coach burning our beloved, storied program to the ground.What does Cal have to do with Todd Golden being unqualified to be our coach? This thread isn’t about Cal, it’s about Cal’s hypothetical replacement. I know y’all are obsessed but Cal is irrelevant to this conversation.
So more qualified than someone you think is awful is the standard? We should sign some mediocre coach and be hitched to him for the next 5 years because he isn’t Cal?Just some context before we go about attacking other potential candidates.

Yeah I know. I hated that rule, but I hated it for Joe B Hall even more. Rupp kept an office in Memorial, he kept a TV show that was on when Halls was. Can you imagine the pressure on Joe BAt the time Rupp was "forced out", he had reached the Ky. mandatory retirement age of 70. The mandatory retirement age requirement was modified in 1978 to allow some positions to go beyond the age of 70. GO CATS!!
Future candidate but not now.I would take Todd Golden right now. Young, 38 year old coach that plays an exciting style of ball!
I like golden. He’s a young coach that wants to win and he’s also a good recruiter.!!I would take Todd Golden right now. Young, 38 year old coach that plays an exciting style of ball!
Yeah, not many coaches want to win.I like golden. He’s a young coach that wants to win and he’s also a good recruiter.!!
You’re funny how about the desire to win? Does that sound better?Yeah, not many coaches want to win.
I think he can grow into another Pitino or Calipari. I like his coaching.I don't think he is ready for the melting pot that is UK but I was at the SEC tournament and I came away impressed with this young coach. I would be inclined to bring in a more seasoned coach, or at least one that has proven himself more on the big stage. But this guy has the tools to be an exceptional coach.
Neither had Joe B or Tubby
