Yeah so does every other coach. That was Self's MO for years. Few is the only coach without those first weekend issues. 3 #1 seeds in a row and the only program in the country who has been a top 3 seed the last 5 years. At Baylor.
Welcome Scott Drew!
- Thread starter thedahc
- Start date
Obviously Hurley is first. But after that Drew is the most successful college coach the last 5 years other than maybe Self.
Donovan's last season in college he lost 17 games.
youre out of your mind.... look at baylors success, especially the last 4 yrs....
Scott drew last 5 years
128-35
9-3 NCAA tournament
1 ncaa championship
Bill self last 5 years
130-37
9-3 NCAA tournament
1 NCAA championship
I'd argue Hurley, Donovan and Oats all need to be 1st. Drew is successful in the sense that he makes the tournament but you can't just ignore the fact that he has 4 sweet sixteens, 3 elite 8's and 1 final four in 21 years at Baylor.
That isn't exactly screaming home run to me.

Low testosterone poster right here
Loser mentality
Surprised you’re still here and not on the arky boards with your worship of cal.
2019-2021 are carrying a lot of water here and do not remotely reflect what he's done the other 16 years at Baylor. This is some cherry picking.
It's the last 5 years. It is what is relevant. Nitpicking what he did when he was still in his 30's coaching the worst program in the country is ignorant.
He is the only coach in the country who has had a top three seed the last five years.
Please list all of these great coaches who don't have first weekend loss issues. They all do except Mark Few.
You are what you accept. And I guess that is where UK is right now. We accept 1st weekend losses now, that's not the Kentucky I was raised on.
Then who do you want? What are you willing to "accept"? Because after Hurley there is no perfect coach.
You're an idiot. I've been trying to hire Pearl for 2 months. But I knew that was pipe dream too. I am just smart enough to realize it.
Second thing, I will put my T levels up against yours or anyone else's here any day. I just had my shot last night. My heart is pounding, I'm sweating, I currently have a semi, and I haven't even lifted yet today.
And he lost in the first or second round (to lower seeds) each year outside of 21. Sound familiar? It should because, historically speaking, that's what he does.
Also, not nitpicking his first four years at Baylor. He's been there 21 years and made the second weekend 6 times.
True. There are no perfect coaches out there. My first call (after Hurley) would be to Chris Beard. He has won at every level. He nearly took a High School JV roster to the NCAA tournament this year. His biggest problem has nothing to do with coaching.
I'm sorry bubba. Your dreams just do not matter. Billy D was never coming. Hurley was never coming. MItch won't reach out to oats. It has nothing to do with my mentality or yours. Of course I want those dudes and if I was the AD I would do all I could to land them. But sometimes you don't get to bang Megan Fox. Sometimes you gotta settle for a 6 and make love to her like she's a 10 and hope the baby is cute.
Now chill with that hissy fit. Nobody cares.
Scott drew is in Waco eating lunch with a Baylor booster. Lol, it’s Kentucky nothing we ever do is normal
Oats/Hurley/Donovan are my realistic A tier.
Wright/Stevens are my unrealistic S tier.
Drew/lloyd/pearl/beard (ew) are my backup options.
Everyone in the A tier have to say no to mitch in my mind. We have to get this hire right.
Drew will be a good coach at UK but it feels like we are settling for a known quantity with a high floor low ceiling.
I'll be pulling like hell for the guy if he's the pick, but he can't be our first choice.
He has only made the second weekend twice and is only two years younger than Drew. I mean good Lord, you are upset about Drew and your answer is a dude who has a third of the résumé and is a wife beater. He had double digit losses six of his seven seasons at Texas Tech. That is what you "accept" with your nose stuck up in the air?
If you are talking to other people and mentioning their t level there's a 100% chance your ****** swallows your desk chair when you sit down.
I really hope that's just a troll.
I really hope that's just a troll.
Donovan hasn't made the NCAA second weekend since 2014 and his last season he went 16-17. Is going 16-17 "acceptable" at UK for you?
Obviously I would gladly take Donovan, but the point is that every coach being discussed has major holes in their résumé besides Hurley. Drew stacks up against everybody else.
Wright/Stevens is a waste of time.
Oats, Lloyd, Pearl and Beard haven't accomplished a third of what Drew has and they are all around the same age.
Joined in jan. He's somebody's sock account. Starting to smell like a Morg a little bit. My question is, is he really into bowling or is his profile pic just to throw us off the scent?
It’s funny how you’re the gatekeeper for accounts in this site. When you get made a fool of you always go straight to account history length like that means anything.
Here is a link since you’re having trouble finding it. This is your new home. Coach cow is waiting for you to fight his battles there. Your time here is done
Donovan made 4 consecutive elite eights and a final four the year before that season and all of that was after the back to back championships? Do you own a cherry farm? One bad season before moving to the NBA isn't a whole in your resume, it's an aberration, like drew getting to the elite 8.
As for the other coaches on Drew's level, they haven't been coaching high major ball (outside of pearl) nearly as long. Kentucky does well hiring on potential, which is what you would be doing.
Sometimes it works and sometimes it flops, but you take that risk.
First of all, Drew's a good coach. We can't just get anyone we want. You're living in lala land. There are other great schools out there and honestly Cal brought us down a level. We can get it back because we have before, but we aren't there right now. Get over yourself and give Drew a chance. If he's terrible after year 3 then we can re-evaulate. You have no idea how he will do at KY so we might as well support him and see what happens. Your complaining isn't helping at this point.
