Chris Holtmann fired
- Thread starter boilerzz
- Start date
No worries, he'll be fine. Kentucky is set to hire him as Calipari's successor.
He has ties to Kentucky. The state.
I'm fairly certain we have a few posters (here), who'd take him over Calipari.
I was being tongue-in-cheek. Though, I am aware of the ties. But, if you can't win at Ohio State, you definitely aren't getting the Kentucky job.
Earier Musselman was the guy for the job.
Seems Drew is the flavor of the month.
Anyone who is "good enough recently" gave us Gillispie.
If Ohio State hired Darian DeVries (Drake), his son Tucker would transfer and give Ohio State an instant All-American candidate for the 2025 season. Bring back your super sophs in Thornton, Gayle, and Okpara, and OSU has a preseason top 10 team, IMO.
I swear Musselman and Oats keep popping up on everyone's short-list of coaching candidates. Seems like Indiana, Texas, and Arizona faithful were all interested. And I'm sure BBN feels similar.
Has Scott Drew interviewed for another school since he's been at Baylor? Feel like he's not a serious candidate, similar to Mark Few and Gonzaga. Too long of a duration at one school to consider the unknown at a different institution.
Everyone above would be out at UK in less than 5 years.
Oats and Musseman hate UK couldnt stand our fan base. Drew is better off where he's at.
We need a Pat Rilety to satisfy our fanbase. If Cal can't do it...Who can? Bring Pimptino back?
He had a good run but They'd turn on him twice in a second.
UK can almost guarantee a championship. 5 coaches.
Imagine having to deliver a championship every 5-10 years.
I wouldn't bet against him due to all that's won a title here.
Lesser coaches won at UK.
Lesser coaches won at UK.
Would be kind of hilarious. I mean, he doesn't have that much longer to live. But, there's a solid chance he could get UK back to the Final Four before he passes away.
So many storylines there. Rupp was forced to retire due to state laws at 72. The dude (pitino)left.....and had one of the best quotes in the history of sports. "don't mess with happiness". He could recruit as well as Calipari. Take UK away from Cal and add Piintio at UK...gotta place my money on the blue chiops coming to UK.
Woukd have gone down as one of the greatest runs in all of sports if he’d had enough foresight to stay put.
Ohio St will take whatever SEC coach it wants
If Okpara wants to transfer to Champaign we’re welcoming him with open arms.
When IU got Archie I remember mods saying Few is from the NW and really enjoys living there, apparently a big outdoors guy/fly fisherman. Schools have tried but he's always given the not interested remark. Similar to Jay Wright being a Philly guy.
Yup. I do believe he briefly considered the Oregon job back in 2010. And I think the job would have been his, if he wanted it. But, ultimately he's just too comfortable/happy where he is in Spokane... and that's how I feel about Scott Drew. I think he's Baylor for life. But, he is in only 53. So, I suppose you could get a solid 12-15 years out of him, where he to leave. But, my gut says he stays put.
