Craft's plane left Waco
- Thread starter oldsports_
- Start date
Just dropping off the family. They are gonna pray on it tonight and decide tomorrow morning according to last report.
It doesn’t say anything. You think they’re going to land, let his wife off, he’s going to yell up the steps at the pilot “no thanks” and that’s the end of it? Lol. They landed long enough to let her off and refuel. That’s it.
Don't give me false hope
You realize we could strike out in all 3 right? And then where are we?
I'd roll the dice on Golden.
Golden has how many final 4s? How many titles? How many top 5 recruiting classes?
No.
I've said since the beginning we were striking out on all 3 and it was one of the reasons I was fine with Cal coming back for one more year to see if any potential candidates settle out a bit.
I'd rather take a chance on someone like Golden than hire Drew.
Same here. He’s a high risk/high reward hire but I think he’s got potential to be a great long term coach.
Don't care. He's young, dude. He's hungry and can coach. He'll only improve.
Hopefully he said no and now Mitch goes full steam ahead with Hurley.
And then send the jet back for a third trip in two days tomorrow?
Yeesh, UK and the Craft family might have some explaining to do to the global warming cops after this drama has fully played out.
The fact people are willing to pass on a coach with a title and several solid recruiting. Classes is insane to me.
That actually sounds plausible. Exactly what someone like his family would do.
Same. Scott Drew would be a hell of a hire. Some of our fans are delusional as hell.
Kevin Ollie had a title too. Drew won his title in that weird Covid year, so there are certainly arguments to be made it was a fluke. Other than that he barely gets out of the second round. I believe 8 of the last 11 tournaments he hasn't gotten to the second weekend. I am fully convinced he's fools gold.
We should check out guys like Lloyd and Oats IMO. If Hurley is out and Drew says No.
Wanting Todd Golden over Drew is crazy talk
He’s not my top choice either but I think some people are overly discounting him.
Tristan Pharis said Drew has a tentative offer and he and family are mulling it over, while we still pursue Hurley. Decisions are expected tomorrow.
Oats said no cause he hasn’t been asked… Barnhart isn’t going after him due to the way he handled the shooting situation down in Tuscaloosa.
The shooting incident exposed Oates character
If this is the case, mitch really needs to dig deep and find a way to get Hurley 13m, even if that means adding some tournament incentives to make that 13m.
I know going from 11 to 13 (or 14) mil isn't cheap and it's got to come from somewhere.. but if Hurley turns our to be THE guy, he's going to drive revenue to cover that salary, while also keeping him from a team that could very well overtake UK in titles.
Offer 13m, figure it out later. You just saved 33mil with Cal leaving.
