Vegas odds on who will be the next coach.
- Thread starter University-6
- Start date
Nothing in that says he's interested. It's pure speculation based on his past history and current situation with the Bulls.
I’m getting the feeling we’re getting stuck with Drew whether we like it or not. Hope it’s just gas or something
And, if it's not him it is going to get even more sad in here. I just don't think any of the top candidates actually want the job. So hope Im wrong.
I'm so sick of hearing buddy duddy Drew's name. I'm almost sure it's gonna happen.Next Kentucky Coach Odds

I don’t think so either. It will be someone not really talked about. I can feel it.
The perfect image to describe the feelings of being excited for a new coach only to get Drew.
I read somewhere today that Drew would likely be able to bring some good players with him
as much as I don't want Drew, he's got Barnhart's guy written all over him
company man
cheap buyout
I assume he'd say yes without much back and forth

He took over a horrific program and rebuilt it to championship level. That is impressive. He is nowhere near Oats or Pearl in my opinion but he's a better hire than Wright or Donovan who have no experience with current climate of college basketball.
No to Pitino, this isn't 1997. And no to Pearl unless he is 20 years younger.Next Kentucky Coach Odds

Cal took over a horrible program after Billy G and took it to championship level as well at one point. We’re trading his bad for Drew’s bad but with worse recruiting. Exactly why I had hoped cal was here one more year so we could possibly get rid of Mitch first so someone could make the proper hire.
Ok Baylor basketball and UK basketball aren't in the same galaxies as far as rebuild difficulties. Cal's best days happened 10 years ago. Drew's best days happened a few yeas ago. He has significantly more tread on his tires than Cal, which should be blatantly obvious. Quit making me defend him like I love him lol. Ive made it clear he's distant behind Oats and Pearl.
GD. Drew is a major disappointment.
Mitch is utter garbage and should never be anywhere near a coaching decision.

If Cal were still our coach I'd argue with you Woodrow over that one but now it's an Arky fan's job(thank God) and now I don't feel a need to defend Cal about anything.
I guess these odds never change from the original opening probabilities based on news and people betting money...Next Kentucky Coach Odds

BetOnline's odds have just horrible selections. Richard Pitino? Jamie Dixon?
Laughable List
But check out this list just posted a bit ago - Top three are stand alone, and then a huge jump in the rest of the field beyond Dan Hurley.
Interesting Odds List - Top 3
So someone thinks there's a chance that Drew, Donovan or Hurley are the ones to look for (Drew is the easy, obvious choice due to being Mitch's pal, but I don't think fans would go for it...a 52% winning pct? Nope).
