Like how you are thinking SparksCat! It's at least with basketball in mind and evaluating something that is going to be a success before it happens.
Not hating the idea at all.
I hear Beacon Hills HS coach Bobby Finstock is a good, young up and comer.
High powered offense and also carries himself with a confidence you only see in the most upper echelon coaches.
I just don't think you go from Samford to Kentucky. He has 1 NCAA tournament appearance. He's 40. He's got time to go somewhere else and grow his resume.
I don't want Pope. Pope isn't in my top 15. Maybe not in my top 20. I'd probably say give Pope a shot before Bucky.
I think Pearl and Beard are tier 2. I assume they won't want Beard because of the wife-choking.

“The Bulldogs ranked 28th in the nation in scoring offense (78.7 PPG) while ranking 20th in the country in bench points per game (26.53).”.
This guy? Doesn’t seem high powered at all and with only 4 years at Sad under his belt is like to see more experience and success to even draw a sniff from UK.
Saw Samford plow through the Southern Conference tournament in Asheville, NC last month. I thought then that Bucky was the kind of guy who might set the world on fire if he could get his foot in the door at a big-time basketball school.
BUT his entire life revolves around Birmingham. Might have sucked if UK offered him the job and got turned down.
