Should BD say yes, Why couldn't someone at UK work the portal in his behalf until the season ends for the Bulls ?
Billy Donavon
- Thread starter KentuckyFlyer
- Start date
Not to be confused with basketball coach Billy Donovan.
IMO, he’s the best overall choice. I’ve watched some videos made by Chicago Bulls fans, and they’re not super happy with Billy. Could be another win-win if he comes to Kentucky. He’s not too old or too young, has experience with Kentucky basketball, and is familiar with the SEC. I think he’d do excellent here.
The writings on the wall for Billy and the Bulls. They want him gone almost as much as we wanted CCC's gone. I think he could say yes and just keep it under the table until his season is over
what??? Bulls May not even want to rehire him... his contract is ending and it's been so/so while he has been there, not much success, nba teams move on to try new coaches rather quickly.
I love our fan base, but we can’t spell to save our lives. 
as for Billy D, I would love to get a guy on his behalf to work the portal at a fast paste.

He's been out of the college basketball game for a while. I think it's a little dicey. Things have changed a lot.
He is a great coach though. Somebody that can build a team and beat Caliparian Arkansas.
Donovan left college cuz he didn't like recruiting. Money talks with recruiting now though. Be easier for him to get signatures now.

No clue why Donovan’s name keeps coming up. The man personally hates UK and there’s nothing that would bring him here.
Why not. Other coaches have before (I don't know specifically if any NBA ones have).
And it's not like Chicago is a contender, they are 9th in East.
Ok, he won't say yes publicly. If he does say yes, we will never know about it until the Bulls are knocked out.
BD is a sexy hire that would energize the fan base but he doesn’t come without a big level of risk. He has been out of college coaching for a long time. Look how much has changed since cal arrived and cal has no effing clue what he’s doing anymore and he’s been along for the ride. BD could easily come here and not do well as a result.
Yes, this is what I think. BD has back-to-back NCs. I know he isn't everyone's choice, and maybe he hates KY (based on what someone else said) but he could definitely rally a majority of fans.
No one really knows if he even liked his time here.
His only connection to UK is working for Pitino and that was 30 yrs ago.
Out of the three supposed top choices, I think Billy would produce the least wins years 1 and 2.
In today's CBB environment almost any job is a rebuild.
Idk if Billy really has the passion and the drive for it.
In the NBA he can just coach.

Now on the Pat McAfee Show. Pat just stated that he heard Billy Donovan was down in Lexington interviewing for the job.
The bulls are blowing this nucleus up big time. He’s going to rebuild one way the other. No one really talks about Donovan in Chicago and being stuck in the play in game limbo is an awful fandom.
Right... I mean, almost everything is speculation. We're all just weeing in the wind for the most part.
Thyme does seam to be running out...I love our fan base, but we can’t spell to save our lives.
Billy Donovan if he is available feels like Nick Saban when he left Miami for Alabama. A great college coach that had mixed results in the next level coming back to write a final chapter of their coaching career.
