It might be a good idea to stop whining 😭 before complaining about others.
UK Needs A Home Grown Coach

There's only one choice to replace His Highness...
Brad is on the sidelines learning from His Highness. Who could be better?
I’m talking about this nonsense of a homegrown coach. Stay on the damn topic. This bunch of vultures would pick their bones clean.
More body parts. I think you need to extract your own head. Don’t worry, it’s close by.
That’s interesting. Good thoughts. I’ve been impressed with Spradlin and Casey is all class.
I really enjoy reading your posts, clearly understand the game. Question who would your realistic top 5 be?
Top 5 replacements? Or Top 5 current coaches? Or what specifically?
I've got to head out and go watch some of the players at my school play in local AAU now, so I'll respond later on today/tonight if you have a follow up response.
Chill out, man. I’ve actually defended you at times. All of these topics suck, but they’re also all the direct result of where we’re at as a program right now. The fans are not to blame.
If people can't post without nearly having a stroke, they should really consider taking a break from this. I am assuming that most posters are simply posting their opinions with the realization that it really doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. Reading the opinions from others is interesting; however, some think they should be able to shut down any thread that they don't agree with. We all have the power to simply not participate in any thread that we don't like. It is pretty simple. By the way, I find your posts interesting so keep them coming.
You're absolutely right, Sejonesy. And not only Musselman, but a dozen other top-tier college coaches would leap at the opportunity to take the U.K. job. Calipari has brought the bar so low that there would be relatively little pressure, compared to, for example, to when Tubby followed Pitino. Some have suggested that it would be hard to find a great coach to take the job. I think that's laughable.
Never seen so many soft little fans. Embarrassing that rival fans can see such an abomination, daily.
I’d go Vogel then Holtmann. Barnhart will go Donavan Stevens ( neither will take it) and then go Holtmann.
So now, Cal doesnt develop players into coaches? You are really having to search hard for more Cal criticism. I am a fan of the program, players and the coach. I have never heard any of our coaches, or any coach, anywhere, proclaim to be more important than the program. Why would anyone post such stupid stuff.
Just when I thought this forum couldn’t get any more idiotic. Congratulations.
Given Vogel's prior association with Pitino, I would definitely support going after Vogel. If Vogel were going to have "personal issues", they would have surfaced by now. Boston, Philly, and L.A. are pretty high-profile spots in the NBA. And the return of "Pitino ball" to Rupp Arena would please me.
And in light of Yabba's mention of Vogel, I'll also throw out Steve Nash. He just seems to me like a guy who would be an excellent college coach. Point guard, excellent shooter (both FT and 3FG) and distributor. I can't imagine that elite players wouldn't be attracted to playing for Nash.
But, whomever ... anybody but CCC ! ! !
NO ! Spradlin is a CCC acolyte. I don't want anybody that's ever been connected with CCC ! ! !
Ratface and Williams developed a coaching tree. The hallmark of a good coach is developing winning coaches that go on to success at other programs. Cal has a terrible track record of assistants who are successful.
Btw we went homegrown in FB and it screwed us big time. 2 lost seasons and maybe set us back 4. Homegrown isn’t all its cracked up to be unless there is a large coaching tree. Cal care about getting players to the league not turning them into coaches. We are already in trouble but this program will become worse than IU if we have to wait out cal and he picks his replacement
Where UK could go homegrown and have big success is with an AD.
Homegrown is a small-minded, simple-minded, empty-minded requirement. What’s needed is a hungry, good coach who can recruit well and plays a fun style. He could be from Indonesia for all I care. Oscar is from the Congo and never heard of Kentucky till he was probably 17 and he’s one of my favorite players of all time.
Who usually make the best coaches? Point guards, guys who have to rely on their minds more than their physical skill set.
Who are most of Cal’s PG history? NBA studs that are superior talent wise. You could see Ulis being the closest to ever fit this mold but even he’s a stretch.
Your elite coaches always seem to be point guards or bench players. It’s why you never see all star players as the top tier coaches.

I don't think the position matters. It should be based on one's knowledge of the game. However, because the point guard runs the offense, it is probably reasonable to think guard.
Position seems to matter most of the time.
Coach K, Roy Williams, Jay Wright, even Cal, Billy Donovan, Bill Self, I’m sure I could go on and on. Guards end up being the best coaches.
I was searching for the right description for you. Thanks for providing it. I can't believe you excavated your head out of CCC's butt long enough to provide me your name.
Yes, but UNC staying "within the family" was a 100% flop with Doherty. When schools have done that, sometimes it works, but more often than not it appears not to work.
To an extent they are. We aren’t talking about “all the fans”. The ones that are making us look like a crap hole fanbase are a fairly small group. There are others that believe something needs to be drone that aren’t dumping all over Kentucky every few seconds in public. Hell a bunch of these clowns are not even Kentucky fans. And you should have seen the 2 drunks last night. Just Damn. The vast majority of the fan base are very civil and can express themselves through more effective channels. What’s happening here is ridiculous.
Need a coach who has a sense of innovation and downright will to win for the employer paying him PERIOD
AND players that share that same desire

Home grown players. Home grown coach. Man, if we could make that happen, we would be unstoppable. 😂

We have Travis Ford and John Pelfrey, this has worked so well with other programs, and haven't all of our head coaches been born and bred right here in Ky?
Yeah I don't know that he has ever coached a game. Maybe he could hire you and me as assistants.
