Scott Drew to UL?
- Thread starter tmuck
- Start date
So he coaches a team to top 15 program but is a step down to a guy that hasn’t won a NCAA tourney game in years? Got it, thanks for sharing Ellen.
While I agree he isn’t a big enough step up from Cal to be offered, he is definitely comparable without all that other political crap and name on the back crap Cal spews.
Any big coach also knows that they’d always be second fiddle in their own state and no hotshot wants that. UL has to hit a home run w an up and comer making the leap to top 15 basketball. Any established top 5 coach saw Pitino try and fail to turn this state red. If RP, who was universally loved by this state (pre UL run), couldn’t make the state Red even when we were suffering through a decade long F4 drought w Tubby and 2 atrocious Billy G years….then nobody can
OK then drop them again and never play them. They do not help us in any way unless they are a Quad 1 game. They are a Quad 4 game.
IF there is an ACC in 2 years. Might be back to Conference USA for Uof L. lol
What’s your problem with Pearl in relation to other potential candidates for the Kentucky job?Keep digging, prefereably downward...(As far as him ending up at UK...Bury it...)
Aside from Sweaty Bruce turning 64 in a few days, he's a proven cheater and a snitch.
But Kenny is so dumb he tells the truth. lol. Who does that? Kenny leveled with the media that a kid refused to play without his tights. Could you imagine Cal telling fans the truth? That’s stupid. He Gone.
His salary in 2023 was $3.7 million, and he received a $1.7 million bonus when he signed his latest contract in 2021, so he made over $5 million that year. If he solicited offers from other schools, he could probably find a better one, but I’m confident Baylor has the resources and will to match anything serious that comes his way.
It’s also worth remembering that an established coaching position is more than a job; it takes years to build that kind of credibility and relationship with the institution. Guys like Drew aren’t going to blow that up and uproot their families just to try to increase their paycheck from $4 million to $5 million by hopefully rescuing a dumpster fire on a timeline set by the dumpster fire’s fans.
In short - I would be truly shocked if this happened.
again, then stop play Louisville. They do nothing for our strength of schedule. They are not even a good tune up game.
Whomever it is I hope it’s someone Cal hates. That’s who he beats all the time.
Dude you were snarky as you could be. I tried to discuss with you but you were snarky a second time. You acted like you couldn’t even dignify me with a proper response.
I can be snarky too. You got what you got
Every time he has been asked about an injury in the last 15 years. His only reply EVER is I haven’t seen him. You actually believe he hasn’t seen his own player. OK.
Sounds like Calipari when we hired him . Except Pearl only had a cookout where as Calipari already had 1 final four vacated with another to come . As for being a snitch, I loved it when things came out about UNCheat, Kansas, and Duke .
Additionally,,
Yum is a financial time bomb . Metro Louisville pays 11 million a year , State loses tax money because it is a special tax incentive (TIF) district. It has already been refinanced and UL had to pay an extra two million a year.
However, due to financial irresponsibility yum has only being paying interest . They owe as much on the principal today as they did the day it was opened . The principal has to start being paid in 2025 I believe and all hell will break loose as they once again ask the taxpayers to bail them out .
about seventy percent of their so called revenue Is actually not real revenue but is taxpayer funds state or local. It cannot be fixed without UL paying much more than what they are now.
It’s hilarious that you think you’re the hero and I the villain in our exchange. Lol.
If you can’t take it or your skin is too thin then maybe you shouldn’t dish it out. But we don’t need to hijack this thread any more. Go ahead and get the last word if you need it
Except that Cal has never been sanctioned by the NCAA. Brucie? He got a three year show cause. As for him being a snitch? Are you good with Brucie secretly recording a conversation with a recruit and turning it in, trying to get an opposing coach in trouble? Just a cookout? Nah, there was more to it. For one, encouraging the recruit and his parents to lie to NCAA investigators about it. Then Pearl, being the narcissistic cheater that he is, lied through his teeth to investigators as well, even when they presented photographic evidence. Even after that mess, Pearl had the hubris to commit some other minor violations during the no contact rule, and also attempted to cover up the drug test results of at least one UT player. One of my favorite things about Pearl v Cal was when a UT fan coworker of mine smugly asked me when we hired Cal, how long it would take for Cal to put us on probation. You better believe I never let him forget that one, not even today. As for me, I wouldn't hire Pearl to wash my truck.

One of college basketball’s most boisterous personalities also has one of the sport’s shadiest pasts.

I think his point is well taken still. Cal lusted after the uk job much like Pearl does now. There isn’t a single coach out there that lobs more compliments toward the Kentucky program as Pearl does.Except that Cal has never been sanctioned by the NCAA. Brucie? He got a three year show cause. As for him being a snitch? Are you good with Brucie secretly recording a conversation with a recruit and turning it in, trying to get an opposing coach in trouble?

Who cares. Every team plays some games that don't matter. Some years they will be better then others.
UofL fans, I'll say it again...hire the Calipari slayer.
You're welcome...
You're welcome...
First off, that’s false. UL basketball can afford to pay a coach every bit as much as Baylor. This would be about if Drew wants to be at traditional basketball school or not. He could certainly use UL for a raise and likely will if he doesn’t move.
