Next Head Coach

Disagree Vogel I believe would. Kentucky is his alma mater and he is probably out after this season with the lakers. Guy is making 2 million Ky could do a little better then that.
And what a difference the coache's box would be ...cool, calm in control vs screaming his lungs out like a lunatic.
The crazy things is we hired Parker Executive Search Firm in 2007 that delivered us BCG.
I am neither a Cal lover or hater.
Fine if he leaves, but one thing that will remain a constant.
No matter who we get, there we are.
How much does he make? If you google his salary it says 3 mil. Just curious how you know he makes more than that?
I’ve put him on my list before. I agree after I looked at his record at OSU.
“It was reported in January 2020, that the Miami Heat higher ups reward Erik Spoelstra with an extra $120,000 after each victory, whether it be the regular season or the Playoffs.
The $120,000 per win is on top of the $3 million he is set to earn as his base salary for coaching the Heat. This puts Spoelstra’s 2020 season earnings, well over 9 million dollars.”

Im not big any coach who hasn’t been to a final four. You can go after assistants or newer coaches and it can work out (see Arizona), I’d rather not roll the dice though.
Want to really be sick--go look what he did prior to getting OSU job. It's amazing he got the Ohio State job.
Well he did get a DUI and he looks hungover every time I watch them play.
He’s a decent but not great coach. He’ll guarantee OSU 20 win seasons for a while but we know thatll never fly here.
Yeah there’s pattern with this program and it’s UK should avoid drunks.
Stevens and Donovan aren’t happening. Holtman is a mediocre hire. Back to what I’ve been saying for weeks. It’s just not as simple as it seems.
Well we cant keep Cal. He will drag the program to oblivion woth his stibbornness. He’s lucky he gets to coach next year after the last two seasons. He should be kissing Barney’s rear end.
Sure. One of the top basketball minds is going to leave his secure job in Miami where he gets a months long offseason to enjoy South Beach to come coach in a pressure cooker where he'd have to work 12 months a year.
College coaching jobs are not as appealing as many of you people think they are.
And as a side benefit, Cal gets a severe case of the chapped *** on the way out the door
Pulling Mark Few away from Gonzaga is like taking Coach K away from Duke. It's absolutely not happening. He's not leaving the kingdom he built himself.
Stevens and Donovan are the first 2 calls every blue blood makes and they've turned every offer down to stay in the NBA. It's obvious the stress of being a college coach isn't worth the extra money if you can survive in the NBA.
Holtmann would have been a home run hire last year, he had a rough year this year, but the fact that he has Lexington roots and would passionately do his job putting Kentucky before anything else is a huge benefit. I would support a Holtmann hire.
However Holtmann is not a coach so hot I'd be dying to push Cal out the door for. In all likelihood Holtmann is the guy for the job in 2-3 years once Cal's ready to leave on good or bad terms, if Holtmann maintains Ohio State being a good team then he's basically the coach in waiting here.
There are guys like Tommy Lloyd and Scott Drew out there who I would fire Cal today for, but by the time Cal hangs up the vocal chords that yell "GOOOO" they will probably not be on the market.
No one much over 50 should be hired.
Need some fresh blood, a guy that will stick around for a while.

If UK needed to hire a coach right now, which we don't and won't, I would want Vogel. He's a UK grad. He's fairly young. He coached here and played on the JV here.
He's probably out in LA as he's getting the blame.
Would he step down to college? He's a proven winner in the NBA. He won't be out of a job long if the Lakers fire him.

Just looked up Holtmann‘s class for next season. He has a good class coming in next season.
Not yet maybe 4 5 years down the road but would be nice to have a former player Coach KY down the road. That’s why Vogel is intriguing along with being an NBA Guy..

I was just thinking if BYU beats A & M he could get some offers. He may be happy there though. He’s had several successful seasons in a row there. Well not by our standards but not bad for BYU
You don’t know what I would or wouldn’t say. Cal is a human. He’s isn’t above reproach. In fact, if he was worth any salt, he’d welcome the call outs.
So. The only nonsense here is your pontificating response.
I don’t disagree but he’s here for the next 2 possibly 3 years unless he decides on his own to go elsewhere. At the 2 year mark, let’s explore who might be interested.
Only a boob would meet him for the first time, by chance, and call him out for ruining their couch time. But the world has lots of idiots, so I’m sure some would do it.
Stevens has a nice front office job. He’s not coming back to college and going through recruiting high schoolers.
Ruining couch time? Wow. You’re clueless. Absolutely clueless. The greatest tradition in college basketball is now reduced to couch time.
Cal puts his pants on the same way I do. And the only reason he has a job is because fans (and boosters) pay millions of dollars every year to see the product he puts out. If fans get tired of that product, attendance suffers. And if that happens for too long. The university and athletics lose money.
So yes, it’s a lot more than just about couch time. and for clarity? I watch either standing, sitting in chair, or listen while I’m driving.

Like how they play but he'd have to go somewhere else and prove he can recruit. I'd really had my eye on Todd Golden but UF took the chance on him, so we'll find out soon enough.
Billy Donovan? Seriously? Bring toilet paper because he’ll just take another giant **** on us and he never bothers to flush. Funny how lighting in a bottle mesmerizes some.
At least Cheating scumbag Pearl wasn’t on the list.
The good news, this is just another attention seeking ploy by the press. Cal isn’t going anywhere. I know it. You know it. They know it.

Don’t know who I’d want, but I can’t believe that Musselman is on anyone’s list. He’s an absurd choice
