Brad Stevens just

[DerekMcPwn]

Everyone laughs at this comma but I'd literally give Brad Stevens 30M to coach this team. He's that good.

You have jumped the shark. At that salary, the coach would earn three times the basketball program’s total profit.

The $30 million the program currently generates in profit is used to fund a range of other athletic and academic programs that would all have to take a haircut so that Internet fanboys can make it rain on their mancrush.

Until you guys get serious, people like me will continue to perceive this conversation as a joke.

Its hyperbole.

Lame joke

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Its hyperbole.

Is it?

Some of you can't WAIT to spend money to get the next guy in here.

We even have posters who would rather we lose, just to get the next guy in.

 

[MakinMusic_rivals]

I don’t get the Stevens thing anymore than Mark Few. Stevens was a marginal college coach and the same can be said for his NBA results. Whew.....our fan base IS crazy. Calipari and everyone else says it. I now believe it.

 

[420grover]

Why is everyone so fixiated on Brad Stevens ? The guy is not going to come back and coach in college. What makes you think that he is some sort of savior ?

I don't. I was quoting the other guy.

I think he's a great coach, but he also caught lightning in a bottle.

Fans here think that Brad Stevens is just going to hand us 4 Final 4's and two titles in the next decade.. and they're setting themselves up for disappointment. Doesn't matter tho, he's not leaving Boston lol.

No, it wasn’t. The whole purpose of the word “literally” is to instruct the reader/listener to take the statement at its face value.

You meant what you said; you just weren’t sure how wrong you were until it was too late.

 

[The_Answer1313_rivals]

I'm still waiting on this super coach that's going to come in and magically "save" this program.

Everyone throws out names that are either 1) mostly likely not coming or 2) don't have half the resume the current guy has.

There's no way Runt would actually be serious in saying pay him 30 million. I think your unwillingness to bend on the issues with Calipari are making you see things a bit ridiculously at the moment.

The issue with even beginning to name a replacement on this board is some of you will not accept an answer at all. You lower Uk's position in the coaching ranks to meaningless, say no one will take it, say up and comers are no good because they haven't won ten titles, and then act like a coach with a Joe B Hall pedigree is actually Nick Saban on a basketball court and deem him irreplaceable. When you won't admit what Calipari is, I can't argue from an individuals fantasy world. I live in 2020, not 2010.

This is why I won't engage when asked anymore. It's stupid and pointless.

Keeping a coach who is obviously well past his time is worth it because I'm not ready accept I've been wrong about his style and system for a very long time. Some people just cannot accept his concepts, at the root, are antithetical to sports values and principles. They've always been, we just had AD and MKG to give a false impression.

I think this is the real truth and what's causing a divide with a few.

I think it would help us all out if you could post 3500 more times in the next month, perhaps in every single thread in the whole forum. Possibly mentioning Chris Beard as well is telling us all of Cal’s hidden agendas and selfish hopes and dreams. Would definitely be nice to know where you stand on the matter.

I haven't posted much at all. You must be letting your will to be the cool guy cloud your judgement.

Also didn't mention Beard and haven't much really aside from a few threads.

Mr. Cool guy. Have a taco.

[laughing] You have 55 posts in the last 48 hours dipshit. All you have to do is click your name and read your posts. It’s incredibly easy. And they’re all 5 paragraph posts about a man you don’t even knows inner thoughts and desires like a pissed off ex wife. Youre on the warpath. You also mention Chris Beard every other post and how we better get him before Kansas does. We get it man, we get it.

edit: apparently you can search posters and words they use, I put your name and “beard” and you’ve posted about him over 60 times. [laughing]

 

[ruppsrunt1]

stevens would wet his britches to be offered what cal makes--around $9-10 million per year.

40 games max--versus 100 or more including playoffs and exhibitions

at home all but 20 nights a season versus 60-70 in the nba

longer off season with a few trips for recruits versus a short off season

dealing with "kids" wanting to learn and get better--versus over paid pros

Yeah--right--$10,000,000 versus maybe $5,000,000 for a third of the "job"

no brainer if asked

If the UK coach was such an easy gig then our coaches wouldn't age twice as fast as the average person.

you’re exaggerating. 55 POST IN 48 HOURS!!! Man that’s not a lot at all. And most aren’t long, you’re just trying to make it sound as bad as you can because you’re wrong.

I didn’t bring beard up. I’ve brought him up in several threads when asked who I’d replace him cal with. It hasn’t been that much actually.

But keep pretending you found something Mr. Cool guy. Still pretending to be a doctor?

 

[LineSkiCat14]

Why do you care what UK does with their money?

Why? Because it's been a talking point for some of you for weeks now. Because clearly, some of you are extremely upset Cal makes 10 million.


I couldn't care less if a university with a billion in endowment pays a coach 10 mil or 1 mil.

If Cal would get his head out of his *** and make some changes we wouldn't have to worry about it.

 

[LineSkiCat14]

In no sport, have I ever cared what a coach was making. Certainly not with how much money the schools make or the star player in a professional team makes. Pales in comparison, IMO. It's another weird argument I've seen here recently.

"He makes 10 million and he only wins 80% of his games!"

Yeah? Some of you are low level state workers where society hands you a paycheck just to keep the economy going while you go beep-boop on a keyboard thats probably not even connected to anything.

Fans just ask for too much.No reason to be mad about losing all these games in a row.So what if we get blown out by poor teams.Have to defend Cal.

Bro i gave up. I tried for the 3060ti and it was sold out in minutes.. not to mention it was instore pickup and the nearest BB that had it was like 3 hours away.

I said **** it. I bought my buddies old Xbox one and we're all playing NHL and I have no clue what the hell offsides is.

Everyone is replaceable. These pumpers that keep saying we can’t replace Cal and keep the program going are full of ****. In the real world, people get replaced all the time, mostly from incompetence., or lack of trying to be competent. Just the way it is. Do your thing right, and you can keep your job. Screw up, next man up. Funny, that’s a Cal quote, but it’s leaky.

Yeah, Nvidia basically ran a paper launch. I read somewhere that stock won’t be widely available until march 2021...so I said screw it and decided to try and get a 6800xt. It beats the 3080 in 1080p and 1440p and I don’t give a damn about nvidia’s better ray tracing performance or DLSS. Ray tracing is a gimmick. Not to mention in 1-2 years 10gb of VRAM will be obsolete. (the 6800xt has 16gb).

Nice. You're in this stuff way more than me. Im behind the times.

I got the XBox, the PC still has a 1060, and im about to get a Switch for Christmas (or else this engagement ring is going back the the jewler).. so I'm kinda set. Maybe ill upgrade the PC next year when China can get its **** together.

yeah, that would be your best plan. also the chips being made for the gpus are being made in taiwan.

[sluggercatfan]

I mean Mitch is paying 10M to Cal a year for the next 10 years. Why do you care what UK does with their money? And wanting to pay a the best coach in the game a lot of money isn't comparable to you "banging a super model".

Not the best coach in the game!

Honestly, it could probably happen in some way, but no one cares THAT much. Runt knows that ****.

You just rip on anyone that doesn’t hurl bile on the Kentucky basketball program. I’m guessing your own sense of value is based on a college basketball game. Pretty sad

I think you’re so cringy because you’re sort of weird and old. No offense to old guys, but sometimes if they’re smart asses they miss the Mark because they’re just too old to be witty in the current way.

Sometimes you just sound lame af. Study the urban dictionary or something.

If you look in that post I also spelled out "comma but" you'd think that would give the indication of a facetious post, but here we are. Glad you picked up on the "literally" sarcasm vibe though finally.
