Elzy was about as obvious as Payne.
Didn't take a lot of balls to make that move.
Elzy fired.

Raftards couldn't stand staying on topic in this thread.
Glad she was terminated, but wish her the best in future endeavors.

lol at the caller just now on KSR.
“Go hire Dawn Staley”
Delusional. She’s on the verge of winning her second title at an SEC school. Why would she leave to UK? That’s a lateral if not a step down move.

Name a coach that didn't get a pass on the covid year.
You know Duke didn't make the tournament that year either.
UK was at least a 3 seed the year before and a 2 seed the year after.
You also don't get fired for losing to a #15 seed or else K, Izzo, Self, Bennett and Sean Miller would have all been fired.
Pitino lost to a #13.
Cal hasn’t done anything that’d get any coach ‘fired ‘ yet . Not with a HOF background, especially. Not that it can’t happen , but hasn’t risen to the level of fired
They did her a favor. She gets to leave Kentucky with a winning record. She should find a good landing spot at a decent mid major.
She’s got a great record and has done a phenomenal job her few years!Molly Miller from Grand Canyon would fit the criteria...
Idk , they say he’s pretty much set up financially. Also , with NIL and the portal , a lot of stuff is new to him , too
I read UL can save 2 million in buyout cash if they wait till April 1st to fire him. His buyout goes down then as he passes another year there. You can’t wait to begin the search that long but 2 million is some cabbage.
A job like UL ,maybe best of this cycle ….you can work behind the scenes at a hire and wait till April to officially fire
She’s ahead of any media around here . No mention or talk of it. He was offered the UGA job , they say , about a yr ago and declined
Youre the one that said elzy would not be fired due to diversity reasons
I would say if Mitchell wants to get back into coaching that Barnhart will go this route. He’s already familiar with Mitchell and will use the reasoning that Mitchell had the program going in the right direction prior to his health issue.
But like others pointed out, the landscape in College basketball has changed a lot since he last coached a game.
Hell yea it has! Nowadays you have to check all the women for testicles.
I don't love going back to Mitchell but I don't hate it either. IF we do I feel we are missing our chance to get a young star on the rise like Molly Miller that could elevate the program nationally. Also hiring Mitchell back would be the most Mitch Barnhart thing ever. Safe and easy just how Barnhart likes it.
Continue to do the Lord's work Creed, great find.Molly Miller from Grand Canyon would fit the criteria...
This is just my opinion, but I think we can do better than hiring Mitchell back. I liked him and thought he a did a good job. That being said, it appeared his program was slipping toward the end of his career. I think he would certainly elevate the program from where it is today, but I have doubts he can compete with SC and LSU. I hope they try to find the next great women's coach not just someone better than who we had.
Mitchell was able to recruit like we never have . Like top 20 classes . If he just is able to do that, that’s about 80% of WBB…..there just isn’t a ton of players out there that can compete in the SEC ..you gotta get top 20-50 talent
Actually I said there was no reason to fire her. She filled diversity quotas and it’s a spot few care about so I didn’t see a reason for change
That does nothing for me. Bluder made it out of the first weekend twice in the 20 years at Iowa prior to Clark. 24 years as an assistant at one school that's been mediocre until the greatest women's player of all time came is a no go for me. Here is my list in order:
1. USC (Southern Cal) head coach. With them moving to the Big Ten, she might not want the traveling and such that goes along with that.
2. UNLV head coach. Crazy good at 34 years old, but a UNLV grad and LV native.
3. Marshall head coach. Major success at the DII level and winning bigtime at Marshall
4. GCU head coach
Bill Self says not all rugs in his experience
Would have preferred a younger up and comer. Just wondering about Mitchells energy level and while he done a great job he still didn't take us to the very highest level recruiting wise.
Nothing worse than a wanna be grammar professor roaming boards. Thanks Webster. Suppose you have never made a mistake before?
