Gotta get a new AD first. Call him or Bruce Pearl.
LMAO. Dude has told us no more than a virgin on prom night. Other folks on here calling for Cal to come back when the same folks crucified hom for years. Can't make this clown show up
Report: Billy Donovan wants one NBA head-coaching job
Donovan and Al Horford might just end up being reunited.

That's probably been the problem all along. You honestly think other coaches haven't asked Cal's opinion of MB? Mitch should've been fired for the Joker debacle. And definitely for the Billy Clyde disaster. Problem is, we need an Alpha AD. But we have a soy administration running things. Get the right AD and the right President, and things will take shape.
No…I just want a confident coach that has a little arrogance, that can recruit with the best of them and coach some damn basketball. So no to Billy D
We should go the former player route. Maybe Travis Ford?
Unfortunately not serious just like UKs approach to basketball now.
what the eff is taking so long to get a new AD?
Gov. got involved over Barnhart contract....
should be getting involved now.

We are now Indiana. Mitch hired BCG and Pope and was forced to hire anyone capable of putting together a roster of competing for a national championship. We now have a coach that can't develop lesser recruits and all he can sign is lesser recruits. At least BCG turned a low rated player into an NBA player.
I hope to keep a close watch on Josh Schertz next season. My eyes tell me he is a big time winner at the next level. It’s time for Kentucky to find our own Golden or May.
Get Charles Barkley or Rondo I don't care about their lack of experience we need a dog for a coach.
I don’t understand all the push for 2027 players. Pope is looking for a reclass or he is really losing his mind. Our roster closely resembles one from the OVC and he’s worried about 2027? I’m confused.
No I do not. I said I wanted him gone. But he is here till after next season. And yes, I hope he kicks *** ans takes us to a FF and EARNS his job. If he doesn't, he will be gone. Win Win
The behind the scenes details after he’s fired will be fascinating at the very least.
I want Billy D or even Pearl. we need instant marketing and instant credibility with recruits. Billy D would give us that, and hes proven he can win a championship (2 actually)
with this recruiting class, Pope should be fired tomorrow and Billy D brought in
Billy D’s wife doesn’t want to live here. It isn’t happening.
I would drop my fandom if we hired Pearl.

Billy’d be better than what we have and better than our last eight years of Cal.
Beyond that….totally separate from whether he can cut it in CBB at all with NIL and transfer portal, it’s hard to know whether the man is really capable of winning a championship without Al Horford and Joakim Noah. In my book we could do a lot worse and I’d definitely take him. But he’s not this pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. You take him if Todd Golden, Dusty May, Dan Hurley
, Jay Wright, Kelvin Sampson, Brad Stevens, Bruce Pearl, and Richard Andrew Pitino turn you down.

Which team are you a fan of? Clearly not UK.
Can anyone make a Valid point to bring Pope back for year 3??
I agree, go ahead and fire him...oh, wait, you can't either. So you choose the year long crybaby route. Ill pass
I would definitely fire him. Actually I would never hire a cult member. So that’s that
Maybe he’s trying to get a good 27 class just in case this year goes bad, and then he can beg for a 4th year by saying he’s got a good class coming in so one more chance
What cult member? This is the United States. The same Constitution that gives you the freedom to say stupid crap allows him freedom of Religion
