Call up Buzz Williams

Still far inferior to what Calipari has had to work with. Considering Baylor's program was on par with Vandy before Drew got there, I'd say he has overachieved.
But, it's pretty obvious you've got a personal vendetta against Drew or are just a troll. Either way, I'm done engaging with you.

I figured you wouldn't have anything to disprove that.

 

[gabbizon]

I hate to say it but for those of us over 40 we may never see another title in our lifetime.

 

[Ukbrassowtipin]

You're the one equating Baylor to the Kentucky job. You don't think it would be easier to be successful at UK than Baylor? He wouldn't have to build a program here. All the tools are in place. It's a lot easier to get top talent to Lex. than it is to Waco.
Drew is and should be the top candidate if the UK job comes open.

The guy that went to the nit then lost in the 2nd rd of the ncaa just 4 years ago? This board would be the same as it is now.

This guy just lose to a team uk beat by 30 and they did so when unc's best player was ejected

Lol pass

Uh, Baylor had one of their best players out as well. Nearly came back from 25 points down to win the game vs. UNC and possibly would have anyway if a few calls had gone their way.
Drew has the same number of Titles Calipari has and holds a 2-1 record on UK while Cow has been in Lexington.
You're basing your opinion on one game. That's how we ended up with Billy Clyde.

His teams are really good and they play hard af. Like their hair is on fire! He will press, he will utilize the 3, he will play zone. He will make necessary adjustments. Run OOB plays and zone off of opponent’s OOB plays. He will utilize his timeouts. Basically everything Cal doesn’t do.

 

[CapnBlubs]

When people talk about Drew...I definitely think he's a solid coach. No doubt. But I keep coming back to this...

Pitino '13 was undone by Katina '13 and because of that, no one has officially won titles at different schools.

I'd rather hire someone about 40-50 years old who is still hungry for titles.

 

[wldktz1]

With a LOT less talent.

During a strange and unusual and unprecedented season.

 

[*Fox2Monk*]

I don’t think that’s the case maybe if you die at 50.

 

[RunninRichie]

So Drew is going to be successful because UK plays on TV a lot?

Pretty sure Cal has a winning record against Drew. Not sure that is the best argument for being better than Cal. And not sure where you logically conclude he has to be as good or better at UK than Cal.

We should definitely have a list, but Drew shouldn't be anywhere near the top. Maybe top.of the 2nd or 3rd tier, but not the top tier.

1-2 against drew

 

[sluggercatfan]

I just want someone who can coach. Cal said we are finished during the game. Did you all see it?

Didn't. Does anyone have video?

 

[numberonedad]

Yeah I knew that he didn't GAF about the fans when I went to his book signing.

Cal only cares about the fans when the cameras are on. He loves to give the impression he is “ one of us “. When in reality he and his family hate us, think we’re all a bunch of dumb hicks and look at us with disdain

That’s a misleading stat though. Look at guys who have won titles in the last 25 years and if they have coached anywhere else after winning the title:

Scott Drew - no
Tony Bennett - no
Jay Wright - no
Roy Williams - no
Coach K - no
Kevin Ollie - no
Cal - no
Jim Calhoun - no
Bill Self - no
Billy Donovan - no
Jim Borheim - no
Gary Williams - no
Tom Izzo - no
Tubby Smith - yes
Lute Olsen - no

So, only one guy (Tubby) had the opportunity to do what you’re saying no one does. That’s the case because a majority don’t coach at other universities.

Are you calling us people in our 40’s old?

This is a well-researched post and I concede the point, while still feeling that I'd rather have a hungry coach than one who's already won a title.

 

[katkraze]

How about mark few? For enough money UK could get him

 

[seccats04]

With a LOT less talent.

Plus, he's at freakin' Baylor, who was on serious probation when he took over.

No. I think the pressure that comes with UK basketball would destroy him. The next coach has to be an arrogant, egotistical basketball genius to put up with what us fans demand of them.

 

[oldsports_]

Wow. If you can't see that Drew has an incredible talent for forming a cohesive unit from a group of guys with inferior talent (compared to what Calipari gets at UK) then, nothing I say is going to convince you. Apparently, you have some kind of personal hatred for Drew. The dude can flat out coach.
Oh, and BTW Calipari is 1-2 versus Drew at UK.

Drew lost in the 2nd round this year as 1 seed.
We have someone who can do that now.

Again....basing your opinion off of one game.
If that's your criteria then Calipari should be at UK forever based on him beating undefeated Wichita State back in 2014.
