Y’all gotta remember that the Pat Fitzgerald hire was really a “hire this coach I like and I will write you a check for half a billion dollars” situation. I would hire Joker Philips back if it meant that level of investment in the program.

Not saying he’ll work out, but it’s basically a blank slate.
Not sure why you needed to state that you're not saying he'll work out. That was kind of obvious.

He’s not gonna “cancel the JMI deal” or back up any of your lies either. If your lies were true, no AD would take the job, but we all know how big of a joke you brainwashed liars are who have trashing and making up lies about our NIL. You will always be always be a joke.

‘Maybe Will Stein will be able to bring one of those Pat Fitzgerald recruiting classes at MSU that’s 20+ places lower with all that money and none of the restrictions clowns like you lie about.

Oh so you're the jmi bootlicker from before. Thanks for sharing.

Ya he probably legally can't cancel that abortion that no reasonable person would agree to, but id love to see him try..

I posted before if it was truly ab out of house hire we'd hear about it well before. So here we are.

This is immensely better than marc Hill. We need someone that can hunt money and this guy fits that bill.

Hopefully he has enough leeway to try to cancel the jmi deal for self dealing, but I doubt it.
I hope he can try to if he believes it really hinders our success. We need a bulldog who fundraises and cares about the large programs winning again. We need them for revenue more than anything else.

Looks like a homerun hire to me! In today's world of college athletics, it's all about money. And it appears this guy is one of the best people available to bring in the cash. So I'm fully on board if he's the guy. Good hire!

Oh so you’re the joke who got busted lying. Why would any good AD come here with all the JMI restrictions that losers like you lie about? You have to question his sanity if you really believe your lies. No reasonable AD would come here and be “handcuffed” (that’s the vague term you liars always use because you can’t give specifics) by what you call that abortion yet here he comes. You’re incapable of critical thinking because of how dumb you are.

Busted lying? I haven't said anything. I guess you're the jmi plant in its infinite iteration.

Get a life or get better at paid glazing.

Beats all I’ve ever seen. Got people thinking a guy is going to sabotage his career at Kentucky due to being a UNC alum. What happened to finding the best person for the job? This is what that looks like!
Ikr? I would love to believe they're doing some sort of long form online parody/performance art, but god help us (and them), they're actually f---ing serious. 🤦🏻

KSR has an article highlighting some of the good things Nate Oats said about him after they worked together at Bama… worth keeping that in mind if basketball finds itself in need of a coach anytime soon.

Remember, some here have believed for a decade that even though Matt Jones has a UK show and had a UK themed bar, he secretly wanted UK to fail and was actually cheering for Duke because he went to Duke law school.

There will always be a small group here who will take any bit of news and turn it into something bad and then try to bring the rest of us to their side.
There are certainly some simple-minded folks that struggle with rational thoughts on here.

The only way I’ll get on board…

Hire a GM period. Someone completely separate from Pope. Fire him if he doesn’t make an elite 8 minimum this year.

Fire Mingione and Lawson day one and rebuild the baseball and softball programs.

Find out how to move away from JMI within the next five years. Transform the funding of the program to a model that actually works and make the deals programs like Duke are making.

That’s just the start but those are non negotiables.
Wtf did Mingione do to catch your stray?

The Pat Fitzgerald hire is less than thrilling. But I'm just happy he had no ties to Mitch and Eli. And that he's known for fundraising. It's shaping up to be a great time in Kentucky sports, again
Let that play out. I know it wasn’t sexy, but I’d bet it’s a really solid hire when the dust settles.
