Drew to UK?
- Thread starter RunninRichie
- Start date
He will bring players and get players. His teams play defense. What he accomplished at Baylor is amazing. Imagine with our resources what he can do. 100 times better coach than Cal
Mitch screws the pooch again. And I thought he’d never top Billy Clyde Gillispie. But this might —same prickly, irritating demeanor. 19 out of 20 seasons out before the Sweet 16. He’ll be crushed by Kentucky.
Anybody who thinks this is an upgrade is delusional.

We need to at least wait until UCONN matches UK's offer to Hurley after he hears our call before falling to pieces.
Careful what you wish for is the moral to this story
What choice do we have? Hmm?
It's either take the safe hire in Drew or risk it on an unknown.
Cal has screwed us for the last time Thank God.
Only Mitch would get us worse than Cal.
We didn't fire him. His arrogant *** got his feelings hurt.
Eff him.
It’s the flavor of the month. Who is winning now. Oats just went the final four and being in the SEC everyone knows him. Drew isnt as popular.
Hey at least he won one more game than Cal this year in the tourney! And finished 24-11.
He isn’t a left winger and that’s why the Cal kissers don’t want him. All the more reason to hire him. Hopefully the Cal boys move to the Arkansas board so we can have normalcy here again
Scott drew isn’t the end of the world
As I've said for months, I'm not as opposed to Drew as others here but his recent tournament resume of getting knocked out in the first weekend isn't going to cut it here. His loss in the tournament this year to Clemson downgraded him in my eyes but it's not a terrible hire versus other options.
Now THAT is divisive ********. And will screw over the new coach.
Cal is gone. Time to unite.
Wow. Amazing the bipolar craziness on this board. Drew may or may not be the home run hire. But he took Baylor out of the ashes and won a title there. Baylor had done nothing, ziltch in what 50 years?! Don't tell me about how long he took to do it or what his winning % was for the duration. They were graveyard material when he took over. What he did was nothing short of phenomenal. Good grief.
Geez. WTF guys. Drew has smoked it at Baylor the last 5 years. The guy is literally one of the top 5 coaches in the country now.
If we have approached all of the home runs—Hurley, Oats, Donovan—and been turned down, I could live with Drew. I do think that Pearl has the better personality for the job and his lack of a title would have him energized as ever, but Drew would be solid.
If I’m honest, I would def take Donovan over Drew, but Donovan has been out of the college game for awhile. This new landscape with NiL and portal may be harder for him to navigate. Just doesn’t seem like any of the nba guys wanna mess with college and the year round grind. Don’t blame them.
Edit to add—I can’t stand Pearl. But, a part of me thinks he could kill it here for 5 years or so.

This guy also said Drew to Louisville was "heating up", I don't believe this.
I will not use the over the top word delusional, but those thinking Wright, Stevens, etc were sadly misled. They were never coming.
If you whiff on 1-4 what other choice do we have?
We're getting a massive reality check.
He took over a program in shambles. I do don’t think the first few year matter.
Drew can't handle this job. He's done a real good job of building Baylor but he simply doesn't have the charisma to embrace everything this job requires. It's over his head.
Barney hates our bb program. It’s been a **** show with a window of success for the last 20 years while he’s been there
Drew wouldn't be my first choice. But definitely an upgrade Xs and Os wise over CCC.
I'm no Mitch fan but he's had less than 24 hours. How the hell has he "screwed the pooch"? Now if he goes and hires Shaka Smart, then yeah, that's screwing the pooch.
