Kenny Payne will return to take Cal's spot, and return the Cats to a championship team.
Cal Replacement Article
- Thread starter HagginHall1999
- Start date
Give Me Vogel, with Rondo, Derek Anderson and Derek Fisher as assistants. If Jalen Rose is willing, get him, too.
If we go after anyone it has to be Stevens or Donovan. Maybe Beard but first we have to take a shot at those two. 10 million a year for 6 years.
Bennett has experimented with a five out offense and has shown he is willing to do what works. His pack line defense would help us.
Celtics took Pitino from us, would be awesome to return the favor by plucking their head coach 20 plus years later.
Calipari will be Kentucky’s coach next year and the year after that and the year after that. Anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional.
Not a fan of Donovan at all; he had Sabonis camped out at the 3 point line his rookie year.
No I disagree with most of these.
Mine
Take a run at
Few
Jay Wright
Stevens
Donovan
if not here is my list
Beard
Oates
Musselman
Pearl- baggage is big issue but he’d win big here
Bombshell Go back to Rick and let him apologize for leaving win a title or two and then retire
My Nirvana pick is Oates who has that cockiness will play anyone anywhere attitude and plays a fun style and I believe would have us at the Pitino early days level
Oates gas zero ties to K with his comments he’d be an animal here
I bet our rivals are laughing their butts off at us even discussing another coach at the moment. Most other schools have at least two or three down years before they fire a coach and I hope Barnhart doesn’t cave to the fans making noise and let’s the man fix the problem. And to be honest I don’t have faith in Barnhart to make the right hire anyway. The guy hired Gillespie because he beat UL in Rupp for crying out loud, at least that’s how I remember it.
Any list that doesn’t start and finish with Stevens is a bad list
I would take Stevens in a heartbeat. The question would be would he want to come back to college and have to deal with recruiting ?
Zero chance of coming to UK- Stevens, Billy D., or Few.
No they are laughing at the product we are putting out big man
Stevens
Billy D
Never thought of Spoelstra or Vogel but yeah, give em a call
Few
Oates
that would be my order personally. Doubt Cal walks away from the money. But maybe UK could argue Cal is throwing games by playing bad players over better ones? Idk.

And this happens how often? We are in the thick of it most years and I would bet most of them would take Calipari in a heartbeat. This year sucks so far no doubt but I’m going to give the man the benefit of the doubt.
Stevens is the only 89-Pitino/09-Cal level option available.
Kinda sick of hearing people say that’s a pipe dream when they are only pipe dreaming themselves that anything else would work out. It’s about self-respect.

yea I think that was pretty much the qualifier for hiring BCG
no way Cal gets 3 down years. I agree, he gets this season to tank, but we have a major roster turnover with equivalent talent coming in next year at best - UK needs a change. Cal needs an amazing year next year. He can't have a string of post game comments next year like this year.
Oats does have indirect ties to K. Am nitpicking but follow:
Coached under Bobby Hurley at Buffalo who obviously played for K....barf.
Danny White who was Buffalo AD that hired Oats to replace Hurley when he left for ASU played for Mike Brey at ND...Brey cut his college coaching teeth under K.
All the above said, Oats seems to have a very bright future.
I think it’s actually more than that now, he just signed a new deal back in August
