Yeah, but there are red flags with him and with the exception of 1 great tournament run, he's been pretty meh.
If UK hired him, I wouldn't complain though.
Who to UK?
- Thread starter della
- Start date

I'd go after Kelvin Sampson if the thought was to get a guy in the Pitino age group.
Too much bad blood with RP and the guy is a total creep, UK won't offer him the job.

Tommy Lloyd is Sean Miller 2.0. Gets great talent, but underwhelms with it. Not a fan.
He's the architect of UConn's offense. Guessing he'll get a HC job this off-season. Probably a decent one too.
I really want Billy Donovan. I dont know how he would adapt to the new landscape of CBB but ive always liked him a lot.
I feel like it's going to be Drew (which I don't mind, it's just kind of a meh hire imo).

Honestly, I don't get the feeling Scott Drew would take the job. It doesn't seem like he has the personality for it.
Yeah, I would love a Billy Donovan hire.
Probably gonna be Drew. Not a great hire, not a bad one. Really want Donovan. Hurley is a pipe dream even though we are currently throwing 11mm plus at him.
I'm just glad we can finally move forward
Small sample, and none of the potential hires have consistently killed it in the postseason.
Lloyd: 4 tourney wins in three seasons.
Pearl: 2 tourney wins in his last 5 seasons (with two huge faceplants).
Yes he would, but well ain't good enough.
Honestly I like Bruce Pearl - he's a fine coach for programs like Tennessee or Auburn - but he's just not the right fit for Kentucky.
Kentucky needs an egomaniac obsessive driven savant like Pitino was. Like Calipari was his first 7 years. The only guy out there that fits the Kentucky psyche profile is Dan Hurley.
Rumor has it that UK offered 13 million a year for Dan Hurley, I think hes going to accept it.
Saw where a private jet left Waco for Kentucky today. Wonder if they can get this done. Good hire for you guys if it does.
Now, I just have to make sure Baylor doesn't try to take our coach from us. They need to get Tang if this happens.

Self to Baylor. You heard it here first.
Hadn't heard that he's the architect of their offense.
Interesting that UConn started dominating not long after he joined the staff. Also, Louisville crumbled right after he left, and Xavier had their best seasons in recent memory while he was there.
Turns out the secret genius behind UConn is....…..
Bill Murray's son?!
I wonder why no one has brought up Chris Beard yet, despite his current reputation this man can coach. He took Texas Tech to the national title game, defeating a very good MSU team in the final four. His time at Texas also showed that he can recruit.
Rob Lanier, just to make it a full carousel.
Scott Drew just posted a photo of himself having lunch in a Baylor shirt, he’s not going to UK but likely uses this as leverage to get a pay raise. Until proven otherwise, I still firmly believe that Dan Hurley will be the next UK head coach.
Dawn Staley, I brought this up before. Someone is going to hire a woman to be the head coach. What better way to stick it to the cocks than steal their prized coach.
It's strange to me that so many fans are celebrating Calipari leaving. As if there's no way the next coach could have similar struggles or worse. For all anyone knows, it could be another Gillispie.
Yeah, UK is f*cked for until a next coach comes along. Everyone is a step down right now.
Don't get me started on Drew. He's only made Sweet 16 once in the past 7 years, Five total in 20 years.
Maybe we can steal Kevin Ollie, I heard he had a title once.
Good news is I'll get to talk to Arkansas fans about basketball.
Former Calipari players will be rocking red, and UK fans will turn on them as well. All over a one and done tournament with tough breaks.
Sigh. That's all I'll say on it.

It's bad when the local media has to sunshine pump a new hire at UK.
Isn't that similar to Calipari before he was hired at UK? And he's definitely accomplished way more than Tubby or Gillispie had.
Drew has 2 Elite 8's, 2 Sweet 16's and 1 NC in 20 years.
Tubby the exact same stats in 10 years.
Let's enjoy next season, just like last year, and see the post-season success.That will tell me if it was a good year or not. Sigh.

I'm talking before they were hired by Kentucky. I'm pretty sure Drew would be the most accomplished coach they've ever hired.
