Gonna be honest. It's nearly 5 in Louisville and KP still has a job......kinda shocking.
I was just thinking the same thing. I assumed he was done last night.
It really is bizarre. I mean at this point you have to do it now to save face. Just cut bait and eat the extra 3 million. Louisville has never been a blue blood, but they are a top ten program all time. Really can’t let this charade continue another second if you expect to stay relevant.
They haven't been relevant for a while now
UL isn't even in the top 2 in most wins in the state of Kentucky. They are 30th among D1 programs
He will be gone after UK game at this point. Either he somehow beats us and proves himself or we trounce them and that gives them the last nail.
I would think they wait and fire him right after UK wins and fills the bucket with 10,000 UK fans, all chanting GBB……..no way they want to hire someone or have an interim take that beating right off the bat.
They're gonna make him coach against us next week then level the axe after we obliterate them. The Yum Center is gonna be 95% blue.
What's happening is a shame. Coach Payne is a quality person and a smart basketball man. People like him, and he has loyal friends. I won't say I know him well, because I don't. But I have enjoyed our occasional discussions. He was a great associate coach for us and a good assistant for the Knicks. He made the mistake of taking a job at UL. That is the kiss of death. I don't think he knows how to navigate the horrible situation in Louisville. I take no joy in watching him flail at it. Wish he was still with us.
You are insane if you are a UK fan and don’t think KP is doing a great job. 😇
For head coach money, I absolutely would, For what I make now no way in hell as I own a mortgage company and let’s just say it’s been a rough year. Even in my best years, I still would not. For a good starting head, coaches, salary sign me up..
I am surprised nothing happened today. I heard that UL was supposed to have a press conference today and I was waiting for the hammer to fall...but nothing happened. Maybe they really are waiting until after they play us. Who knows, I gave up a long time ago trying to predict anything that has to do with college basketball. It's to the point that you just think what would be the most logical thing to do (about anything college basketball) and for sure the exact opposite usually happens, especially the NCAA!

We finished 9-16 not long ago and just lost to UNCW. We shouldn’t be throwing stones.
If they met with the team he's a dead man walking. I'm conflicted because I was way too young for Louisville player Payne and he was a great assistant for us. Plus he has Louisville basketball in purgatory.
They need to cover a lot more than their ears. Looks like somebody just walked over their grave
I'm calling it now. Chris Beard will be the new UL coach. Everything about him screams UL. And if I find out that he drinks Crown Royal, well, match made in heaven for them.
Duh, it has been 9 years since Cal won anything and he still has a $10 million a year job for several more years.
