Best for all he did not come here. Was not going to fit.
Statement by Drew
- Thread starter University-6
- Start date
I would like to thank God for calling his family to Waco.
I, for one, want to thank God for encouraging Mr. "2 Elite Eights in 20 years" to stay away from Lexington 
Class act. I'll cheer for Baylor (except for when they play UK)
Enjoy Waco, hopefully the branch davidians aren’t upset with him contemplating departure.
I was gonna be pretty happy with Drew. But a part of me is happy for him now. In a way he got validation of being one of the best at his craft, and he keeps the happiness and family be built at Baylor. Good for him. Best of luck to Scott.
Why in the hell didn't Mitch just fly to the Vatican and conduct his interview? Is the Pope next on Mitch's list?
Mitch is more out of touch than I thought if he thought this guy was going to work in this fishbowl
"I wanted the job but my wife and mother-in-law that unfortunately lives with us said no."
He built Baylor from the ground up and did it his way.
It makes perfect sense for him to decide to stay.

I respect it. He would have done well here I have no doubt. I would have cheered for him like I have every other coach but he didn't mess with happiness. Life is bigger than basketball. He makes a very comfortable amount of money and his family is happy. Bigger doesn't always mean better. We already had posters on here blowing him up and he had not even accepted it.
Mitch gonna cry himself to sleep that he won’t have a new church buddy. He needs to hire someone who can win here, not what they do on Sundays.
He doesn't put the NBA first? How dare he. Priorities are messed up.
Mark Pope? He’s probably Tier 3.
Said this from the get go. Would’ve never worked here.
No offense, but just weirds me out to see that he puts Jesus first “in the program.”
Totally respect his decision to stay at Baylor. Kentucky is not for everyone. That includes coaches as we found out with Gillespie.
Agree. No issue at all with him.
Dude is a wuss.
Drew and Kentucky MBB program fit together like Billy G & hipster juice bars
A statement like this means he'd likely crumble here.
I don’t think they have contacted Mark yet
Anyone with bad things to say about Scott is pathetic. Disgusting.
Yeah he seems like a good dude, I thought he would be a decent hire but on to the next(dear baby Jesus please let Dan Hurley lead our program.)
Who the hell is Keth Farmer? What an embarrassing tweet
Mitch knew. How could he not know this?! He knew.
But Mitch retires in 2-3 years. Somebody else’s problem then. Some friend lol
Well now that that’s a no, I’m ok with keeping the religious wackos in Waco.
This is more on Mitch than anything Scott Drew has done or said.
Not a fit not even stinking close.... I haven't called for Mitch to go yet but if can't land one of these two remaining big fish it's time!

Said this in another thread, but sub Allah for Jeebus in that statement. Still ok with it?
Ned Flanders off the board.
Next.
Next.
Exactly. We are not here to judge and shouldn’t judge. UK will find someone and will have all they need to he successful. I will support whoever they hire because I support the school, not who is coaching. If they don’t succeed, then UK finds another one. Rinse and repeat.
