The panic on here is comical

[FurdTurgason]

Hurley was never going to leave with history (three-peat) staring him in the face. And honestly, I'm not sure his personality was a match here anyway.

Drew was Mitch's first choice, but hardly anyone else's. He won his title so why did he need UK?

Donovan was my preference to begin with, and I think he'd be motivated after Hurley proclaiming that his back to back was better than Donovan's. But if we don't get him, we'll be fine.

Pearl would kill it here and he would crawl to Lexington. Oats would probably take it although the way he handled the murder two years ago can't be discounted.

If Pitino can get Sheppard to stay I'm all in. Why? You KNOW he'd love another ring to stick it to Cal and the U of L people who ran him off. Motivated Pitino is a top three coach.

What about Bill Murray's son? He's the brains behind UConn, at least offensively.

Low T response

Mitch needs to ditch Drew's number. He got made an *** of.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

I think people are nervous about the pope mention so early on. That's a 12th option type mention IMO.

There goes another one claiming Pearl would “crawl, fist fight, break down walls, eat nails, etc” for this job yet NOONE has/can show ANY proof that he is even interested in leaving Auburn.

 

[Blue till I die]

people freaking out everywhere, some getting desperate enough to suggest Pitino, my goodness people, it will work out, we don't have to sell our souls

 

[Jeff Sykes]

Call Will Wade. The things he got in trouble for at LSU is now legal.

 

[docholiday51]

The fact that no clear cut frontrunner is emerging is cause for concern. we seem to be all over the map

Who knows in this day and age of “internet sources” how this got floated. For all we all know Pope may be on a list somewhere coming in at number 15. 80% of all the reporting we are getting is BS so take it all with a grain of salt and enjoy the ride knowing at the end of it Cal will not be our coach. Thats a win in itself.

12th? That’s a 30th option and the very last option

 

[LLCoolBob]

Bruce Pearl being as bad as Cal the last 5 years and still being coveted shows what the Cal hate was really about.

 

[skidmarks]

Pearl.... Plain and simple choice.

I was being nice since he played here. That also being the only reason his name is mentioned. If he stayed at Washington it wouldn't be.

Like bullets being fired at Wyatt.

I don’t know the answer, but Pearle has always seemed to really marvel at the UK environment. I think he would want his shot. Not saying he deserves it, but would want it.

He has grown on me in recent years. You get a big personality with him and maybe that is what it takes.

I'd take Pitino over Pearl

He hasn't been just as bad.

That would be a wonderful sequel to "Groundhog Day"!

 

[LLCoolBob]

Yes he has. 1 losing season, 2 NCAA tournament wins, hasn’t made it out of the 1st round. You can defend that if you want.

 

[WildcatNC]

It is pretty dumb. It's been a few days.

I'm having fun with it. Plenty of great coaches out there. Many would crawl through broken glass to Lexington for the job.

We'll get a great coach.

Coach would be in pretty rough shape if he had to crawl thru broken glass to get here, but it would serve him well after his first loss

 

[SemperFiCat]

Awful lot of Nancies crying about "I'm out". Well, F'n bye, Felicia. Reach down and see if they are still there. Bunch of freaking toddlers.

 

[SemperFiCat]

Drew chose family. That's fine.
Hurley was a 1% chance. I get that.

Everyone has lost their minds. Everyone here says Kentucky is bigger than the coach. Well, act like it. We're gonna be fine.
