No but Lebron will retire soon and Davis will head home.

Was Pat Riley ever a candidate for the hires in the 80s? I know that he was winning championships in the NBA at the time, but given his attachment to the school he would possibly have left at the time...
I sat next to him in 6th grade English, I should be a candidate!
Just a joke congrats to him on his career
Out of the above list there are only two worth considering--Tony Bennett from UVA and Scott Drew from Baylor. One of them would definitely come to Lexington. The others are Billy Clyde Gillespie picks.
Some people believe UK basketball is comparable to the New York Yankees and Lakers, but it’s simply not. We’re the best college basketball team ever overall, but that’s a whole different world from professional sports.
The fact that Scott Drew Peterson and Nate Quaker Oats are the two leading the pack as picked by this board tells me everything I need to know about this board in general.
Some look at standings every given year and go "humph, whale them there Baylor Burrs is good this yur, how bout dem Crimson Todd, thems good too"
Last year it was Holtmann...now it is Drew and Oats....who by the way both have incredibly experienced teams and neither have proven Jack crap at the collegiate level.
Now, they may be fine coaches but this is the BCG hire....you don't make it.
Why the hell isn't Fran Drescher McCaffery on the list too? We need the trifecta!

I like Oates because his brand of basketball is exciting and I think with UK backing him he’d become an excellent recruiter. These kids want to have fun and win. That’s what Oates could do with better players. He is quite unproven though.
Have to make a run at Billy, Brad, and Few. Not sure we can offer 9 mil a year out the gate with the buyout and drop in funds from limited fans and no tourney this season (and no tourney last season), but you could certainly explain that and work emphasize Salary increases are on the way.

I think we need a new A.D. Mitch has been here long enough!
I want to see what oats does this year in the tournament with a stud team. You get bama to a sweet sixteen or elite 8 and that will be impressive

Did you say that in 2012? Of course not.

I think we need new fans, we've all been here long enough!
Show me the evidence. Show me where the NCAA gave him violations. He turned Camby. The NCAA CERTIFIED Derrick Rose Three times making him eligible to play. What coach wouldn’t have played him? Show me the Cal violation documents. I will hang up and listen.
Doesn’t matter. He’s CEO of the program.
He’s responsible for everything that goes on in his program. Happened under his watch. Same thing with Pitino/strippers. Didn’t know but happened in his program
Deal with it

Bruce Pearl is a cheating POS and will never be the coach at Kentucky.
I like it. I like it a lot. It will never happen, but I like it a lot.DC for the win...
I still say he didn’t send that cash, but what do I know.
I totally agree! You need to take a break and go cheer for Indiana and accept mediocrity you should be fine!
Tony Bennett is the best college coach available all things considered.
Neither Beard nor Oates will ever be offered IMO. Don't believe either could handle the off court responsibility of the UK head coach.
Both Donovan and Stevens have been in the NBA long enough that they're probably not returning to the college game.

I think that would be great. He is an NBA guy, he is one of our guys and a member of #5, got thrown under the bus...from Morganfield/Union County...could win another national championship as head coach...talk about the former players rallying around.
How many of these coaches are 5-12 this year? How many of these have player retention problems like UK, how many start frshman guards every year?? Well I think there are some very good coaches here and would benefit greatly what we offer. We need a coach who can develop players, not 6 months and send them to the place where they learn there craft.
If we were to get a new coach, I hope it is one that understands Kentucky basketball, does not come from the New York area, does not have greasy gangster hair do's, does not cheat, keeps the political BS where it belongs, embraces the fans and wins.
Am I asking for too much?

Step off the ledge. This year sucks, no doubt. We are terrible. We finished the season ranked in the top 10 in 4 of the last 5 years (the other season we we were #18). Cal needs to make some adjustments, no doubt. Half those coaches are a joke..
So you are ok with the last 5 years, getting other teams seniors, freshman who come and leave every year who go undrafted , players who quit playing in December,....what is going to change next year??? We already take a player from WV. I love Calipari as a coach...been to 2 fantasy camps and more...but this dude is NOT changing..
Let’s just all hope .......... Brad Stevens wouldn’t shake my hope. The Calipari experiment has run it’s course
Start your list and then make dudes say NO to UK and $8-10M
Brad Stevens
Jay Wright
Scott Drew has to climb this list now
Mark Few
Billy Donavon
Then if those guys all so No...move to next set of candidates
Dwayne Casey is intriguing to me
Chris Beard
Tony Bennett
If Nate Oats has worked to this level
And go from there.

Agree, but DC is 63 and making 7 million this yr. That train has left the station
Aside from coaching acumen, it takes a special personality and Bruce Pearl would eat it up here at UK. His recruiting would catapult to new heights and he plays an exciting style of basketball.
Man I say go after Holtman. Kentucky kid. Can coach the game. Would bring back tradition and passion to the state and fans. Would be about the school and not a players program again.
