Cal’s Replacement

[JohnnyRose]

They were talking hypothetical Calipari replacements on KSR today. They said Mitch doesn’t have a number one option right now but at this moment would you take Beard, Pearl or Donovan?

Just an interesting conversation, don’t think Cal is leaving. Let’s get number 9

 

[bookerfan66]

Yes,Hell NO,no

Go away, troll.

 

[RunninRichie]

lol the bruce pearl love fest is sickening

 

[Wildcats4ever2007]

Give a blank check to Brad Stevens.. end of discussion

 

[JohnnyRose]

Go away, troll.

What’s your problem man? I’m asking a question I think is interesting

 

[Tapemaster8]

Billy D. for me!
But I hope Cal is around for at least ten more years. Come to think of it I hope I am around in ten more years!

but it’s really not. It’s an over redundant topic that’s beaten to death and it’s March madness.

No one coach is above criticism, not even Cal, but why the f*** does anyone want to think about him leaving

Then scroll past it?

Agree give a blank check to Brad Stevens and make him say no thank you.

Johnny, Johnny!

Open your mouth!
Ahh ahh ahh!

So over the past few years the top of Barnhart's list at times were Mike White, Shaka Smart, Greg Marshall etc.............

GOD DONT LET THAT MAN MAKE THE DECISION. If it wasnt for Pratt and Nike pushing for Cal..... we'd of been in for a big hurting like another BCG just without the booze...

You call Donovan , Stevens, Vogul......... you offer 8 million a year... then call back and offer 9... then if still no you offer 10 million ... if that fails, you call Nike and see who they'd want at UK since then you know they'd help out whoever they pushed for the job

It would be hilarious if Mack made a final four....... and we hired Mack from UL with them facing even more sanctions...

 

[JohnnyRose]

That’d be ideal.

It would be hard to lure him away from what the Celtics have going right now

 

[carolinacat]

There's really only one choice.....CLAPPY!

 

[CELTICAT]

In the same way that I don't really want to think about who's going to replace my middle aged dog, I don't really want to think about who's going to replace Cal, first week of March when we're fixin to make a run

I would stop watching the Cats if they were to hire a dukie like white. I am that sick of duke and hate them that much.

Billy D has turned us down too many times. He had his chance

 

[LadyCaytIL]

its like a car........... you're gonna need a new one eventually so no harm in glancing over the lot every once in a while to plan for the future

 

[ORCAT]

A huge ABSOLUTE NO to Pearl! Why would any UK fan want that cheat who also turned in info on other coaches in the past? I just don't get the Pearl love on here, just because he said a few nice things about UK after losing Saturday. The guy is slimy and there are plenty better choices around that we don't have to "settle" for someone like him. As for Stevens, I'd love to have him but feel he and the Celtics are having too much success (and they may only be getting started) to lure him back to college. Plus, he's making plenty of cash in the NBA with Boston.

 

[caneintally]

This is 7-12 years away . Who will get the job then is someone we probably haven't even thought of . And LMAO at anyone thinking Stevens will ever be back in college . He is going to be the premiere NBA coach of the next 15 years like Pop was the one of the last 20 .

 

[LadyCaytIL]

So you'd rather just hire Mike White then and be average than try for a legendary coach due to pride?

 

[bigsmoothie]

No but there are better choices than BD. And I want someone who wants the job.

I actually think cal may outlast Barnhart

you know of any coaches that have 2 titles and not named Wright, Roy Williams, or K?

 

[Oneandnotdone38]

Has nobody mentioned Kenny Payne?

 

[bigsmoothie]

Having a title is not a prerequisite. Cal didn’t have one. As far as I’m concerned I’d consider KP.

 

[Oneandnotdone38]

And Roy. But he's about 100 years old now.

 

[bigsmoothie]

This. Would be on my list no doubt.

 

[STEVECAT]

Out of those 3 I'd take Billy D, but he's doing well in Okc this year and they have infinite picks for the future and Shai to build around so I don't think he's coming back to college anytime soon.

 

[Kybluedude]

Keep an eye on Mark Pope. Sensational job with lots of limitations. Good man. Plays an entertaining style

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

Smells like Pearl in here.....must be trolls about.

I appreciate the freedom to post anything at anytime, but why this thread at this time?

Plus, I never thought Cal would be here 15+ years. I think I'm gonna be wrong.

FIFY

 

[Poetax]

Go away, troll.

You all ever notice that this always comes from someone who’s been online for a couple of days with a half a dozen posts?

 

[Kywildcat_nation28]

Pearl say what u want about him "and yes I know about his past issues" but he wins and he is full of energy very exciting play if basketball!

 

[Jamal Mercer]

There are seemingly more people on this thread that are having a fun discussion than ones complaining about why they’re having a fun discussion.

Maybe just let them discuss and move to the next topic that interests you.

A car can’t roll the balls out on the floor.

 

[65pacecar]

If uK hired Pearl I would quit watching until he was gone, then return when we finally came off probation. Can’t stand him, his cheating ways, style or fake personality.

 

[Oneandnotdone38]

Bruce Pearl would be a Billy G like disaster. He could not coach a blueblood. Auburn and Tennessee are perfect for him, he's a good coach. Not elite
