40-0 every year with spectacular offense, even more spectacular defense & rebounding. Plus a hot (10+) wife/girlfriend.

Let’s just hire the Grand Canyon Women’s Coach. It’ll make the season watchable no matter what
1. Identified as a man his whole life (unless you guys really want the Grand Canyon coach)
2. Good people skills
3. Genuine
4. Good recruiter
5. Knows the modern game but still believes in old school rebounding and defense
1 is the most important and the rest are not in a particular order

I don't know if there is a standard criteria.
Rupp was a high school coach who sat on the bench at KU.
Joe B was a good ole boy who might have played and was an assistant for Rupp but his record prior to UK was average at best.
Eddie Sutton was actually a pretty solid established coach in the SEC. Didn't work out here, but then he goes on to have a HOF career at OSU...
Pitino, okay at Boston U, not so hot at NY, 1 hot year at Providence...does what he did here...who knew?
Tubby, I think has the ideal resume. HC for 6 years, in the SS 3 of them, prior to UK. Clear his star was rising. If you can take Tulsa and UGA to the SS, you can coach.
Billy G, decent resume, kind of hot name at the time having made a little noise with Aggies and before that having essentially turned around and saved the UTep program very quickly...didn't work out here.
Cal probably the biggest name and best resume out of all of them. Lived up to it starting out. Yet here we are, going on a half-decade of not advancing, and full decade no FF sniffs.

Cal will be back and we will hear all kinds of stuff about how he’s “motivated”, “changing”, “ other coaches can’t handle pressure here”, “uk fans are dumb if they want him gone”….. shit like that
A coach that thinks it is very important to watch game film of the next opponent.
If you think it is possible to rehabilitate a 65 year old professional with an ego the size of Texas, your plan will work out just fine.
If not, you will have a 66 year old rehabilitation project that is totally unwilling to change or listen to anyone but his inner self.
When you are perfect ( in your own mind), there is no changes needed. Just dig in and prove everyone else wrong.
That is Cal.
1. Sex as on birth certificate.
2. No open sores over 35 mm x 35 mm.
3. Not John Vincent Calipari.

Preferably one whose main priority is to win championships for the university of Kentucky.
Ideally plays a fun style, but isn’t so entrenched into one way of playing that he’s unwilling to change up his philosophy to fit his personnel.

Cal won at UMass with 1 star and 4 hardworking journeymen.
He won at Memphis with 2 stars and 3 hardworking journeymen.
I think he believed more stars = more success.
I don't think basketball works well with more than 2 stars.

We can argue about who we like the best or what they need to have on a resume to be a good hire but the bottom line is this.
Well currently the lineup stubbornness and not really preparing much specifically for other the team’s scouting report is bad. Let’s not do those things next time.
First someone who can actually coach and make in game adjustments.
Second, someone who is on campus teaching the sport to his players.
Third, someone that can judge talent in the portal and in high school and get them on campus.
Four, someone that does not schedule way too many mid major games in the early season.
A coach that teaches the tradition that the players are representing.
More than a pulse, which we barely have now.
