Right now he’s the next best option. Come in ask for forgiveness and let’s go!He's some of our #1 choices.
Stupid take. Washed up has been. 92 Pitino ain’t walking back through that door and he should NEVER be offered the chance.Right now he’s the next best option. Come in ask for forgiveness and let’s go!
Yeah Tubby and CM was tight. CM had told Tubby prior that when Rick left to be ready for that call to come to Lexington. Tubby even had a "Kentucky" clause written up in his contract that should UK call then he could leave freely anytime if they called. Dooley had just signed Tubby to an extension a few weeks before CM called him about getting his shit and bringing his JD Barnette style to UK. Alot of fans thought we were getting another Rick but we ended up getting ol JD.CM Newton was going to be interim HC, we got turned down by so many people. We got turned down at least once in every coaching search except maybe 1997. I don't remember if Tubby was the first offer or not.
Thank goodness they did turn us down ... and serves as a perfect example of fool's gold when believing that hiring "long-in-the-tooth" coaching retreads is the best option.Lute Olsen and PJ Carlisimo turned us down..
yes Lute Olsen and JP Carlesimo turned us down, he might have been fourthFrom someone who is more knowledgeable than I, wasn't Rick Pitino our 3rd choice when he was hired?
not saying it will happen but Pope's offense and enthusiasm has similar traitsI remember telling Newton that Pitino was the only coach that could bring us back. Don't remember who he was looking at. Just remember watching some Pitino games and how exciting they was and knew that was who we needed.
Maybe so. But his top two portal additions are better than Pope's top two portal additions so far, and Pitino is the only coach last March who gave UConn a game.Stupid take. Washed up has been. 92 Pitino ain’t walking back through that door and he should NEVER be offered the chance.
