Yep. Plus, if they win a title, that’s a wrap. Tubby is the only coach who left a place where he won a championship to directly go coach another college team.
IF Cal left, who would you want?
- Thread starter JohnnyGreen1975
- Start date
I find Lloyd's international connections intriguing.
Scott Drew. He’s youngish, early 50’s and has built quite a nice program at Baylor and has FF experience. We can pay through the nose at Kentucky. I think he could kill it here. Other than that, Voegel at LA. He’s probably tired of the Bron Bron drama and has Kentucky ties. There’s probably another NBA coach out there that might want to jump. The options are slim but I just want some energy injected back in this program again.
It would be cool if Dwayne Casey wasn’t essentially blackballed. He’s a good coach. He won nba coach of the year with the Raptors a few years ago.
Just got hired this year and has a really good team he isn’t leaving Arizona after one year
True, Honestly, if I was a top coach, Arizona might be literally my top choice to coach. Great Fan support, not too many unrealistic expectations, the state of Arizona and Tuscon being amazing, playing in a weak conference but still a P5. As long as he keeps it up there he is probably in heaven over there.
To get Stevens, we would have to offer him a $100M contract with a significant portion guaranteed. That won’t happen.
This isn't about what he will or won't do at Arizona. It's about what he thinks he can do at Arizona. There's no doubt he's been incredibly successful at Arizona and has a history of success and an assistant at Gonzaga.
Assuming, like every coach does, he believes he will be successful at Arizona, why would he think to himself "I'm going to throw away this foundation that already has me as a favorite to win the title at a tier 2 or 1B job to start all over again at a tier 1A job where the expectations are higher"?
6 months ago nobody on here had any idea who Tommy Loyd was. And now he should be the replacement for Cal??? Hilarious.
Tommy Lloyd is making 2.9 million a year at Arizona. Would they match what we would pay? Would it matter?
Yeah but our “flavor “ is tasting like **** lately.
Loyd ,off Dumb and Dumber, could have coached a better game than Cal did.
I don't know, but I bet that for $9 million, we can find someone who can do a significantly better job than Cal has in the last half of his tenure here.
A community college coach outcoached him last night, sounds like anyone would be an upgrade.
You could get more strategy out of a coach for 90 thousand.
That’s the issue for me right now. It seems like there used to be more obvious, realistic targets. I’m sure the right guy is out there but I’m not sure who he is and Mitch Barnhart probably isn’t either.
Sampson has been to 2 final fours on his own. I’d say he‘d be substantially better than the tubster. I suspect age would be an issue though.
Barnhart may concern me more than lack of elite candidates. He doesn’t exactly have a strong track record of basketball hires. Truth be known he was outside the Calipari hire. Of course he was in the middle of the lifetime contract. SMH.
Kelvin Sampson is an interesting option. Has some baggage but legit coach. Just a tad too old at this point.
Sampson is a great coach and if he could have kept his phone in his pocket Indiana probably would have had a very successful 15 years.
True , but Calipari has 2 vacated final fours and he’s our coach now .
I don't think Brad Steven's is the coach anymore, I think he's President. Could be wrong but thought Celtics hired a new coach. And no we do NOT want Chris Beard!!
Scott Drew, Mark Few and Jay Wright have to be on the top of the list. Although I seriously doubt either would leave but you at least have to make the call.
Pearl is a back stabbing cheating POS. I don’t want him anywhere near the UK b-ball program.
Does Brad Stevens have any desire to get back into college coaching? My gut says probably not but certainly worth a try.
I think Frank Vogel would be worth considering. UK tied and NBA connections.
But let’s be honest, there’s 9 million reasons Cal ain’t going anywhere.

I'm not knocking him for the violations. I don't even think they are violations anymore. I mean he got forced out at given a show cause for them. If he was able to stay at Indiana he would have been very successful there.
