Looks like a no from Drew and Hurley. Why wait? Will need to go to lower tier candidates if Billy says no.
Time to offer Billy
- Thread starter R.O.T.Muckinfush
- Start date
Or throw the bank at Oates
No one has said no. What is wrong with you people?
Need to strongly consider pearl if bd is no longer an option
Donovan needs to get the call that if he wants it it’s his. The timing isn’t even that bad. He’s going to be fired in Chicago but even if not now, by mid next season he will. If he doesn’t have any guarantees about another NBA come on? He’s making 6 million per year in Chicago we can double that. He’d have way more security here on a contract than the NBA. He’s young enough still, and has ties here. He’s a legend and it’s the perfect program for him.
Donovan is a no brainer right now. The ONLY issue is timing in the immediate. But we can overlook it for 1 year and get on track. Hell, just knowing he’s coming would get great recruits here until he’s here.
Billy should resign from the bulls. Take the UK job win titles at two different programs and go down one of THE legends. I don’t get his infatuation with the NBA, NOBODY CARES about him there and he’s not even considered a decent hire. Why would you want that?
Call Billy and throw 12 million at him over 7 years. He’d probably have to take it. Tell’m he can have as long as he wants, but we need the guarantee in ink. I’m telling everyone who didn’t want Drew, I think you’re going to regret it when that team which would have been ours is in the final four bext year. It’s STUPID to want that turned down. The guy would kill it at UK.

Mitch is too big of a dumbass to do this even though it's obvious to everyone else Donovan should've already gotten the call
Hoping the boosters will push BD across the finish line. This program needs BD energy
He turned us down twice. Obviously has no interest.
15 and 17 years ago.
DONAVON ISN'T INTERESTED!!
LOL It's only been a few hours since we offered Hurley and Drew.
That was over 15 years ago. A lot can change
Could be wrong obviously, but I'd be shocked if anyone has officially turned us down yet.
I would think coaching in the NBA would only help him as a college coach. I don’t see how it wouldn’t
Yeah good thing Donovan has been coaching in the best basketball league in the world for 10 years.
My ex wife said I do 18 years ago. Now she says she wish she hadn’t. Time changes a lot. Including my realization I was married to satan
I can see the fan signs all over the press conference. B D ENERGY. Love it!!!
Well Hurley has definitely said no....multiple times on national television now. And we know that Barnhart wouldn't have started to talk with Drew until he talked to Hurley.
back when he was relevant as a college basketball coach and the game was different.
at a .500 clip, .413 in the playoffs, and with no hardware (other than coach of the year in 19-20) to show for it.
Mostly because of Chicago, was at a pretty good .600 at okc, and that’s after they lost KD
Not a matter of like, don't think he would be the best hire for UK anymore.
He took the thunder to the playoffs every year he was there
You’re right. It’s become far more like the NBA in both play style and roster management.
Is this your first coaching search?
Saban: 'I'm not going to be the Alabama coach'
Nick Saban again adamantly denied that he's headed back to the college ranks, denouncing rumors that he is interested in the Alabama coaching job.
www.espn.com
and minus 15-16 had a losing record and 1st round exits once there (playoff record is the last three columns on the right)
Yes we do. It has already been reported by people that Hurley was offered 11 million. Now there is way too much smoke around Barnhart and Drew talking to each other. I don't see any reasonable explanation to why UK would start talking to Drew if Hurley hasn't already told them no.
But but but they didn’t immediately jump into our metaphorical pants! They must hate us!

Can’t Billy take the job and announce effective his last game with the Bulls this season? Has to be a way without wasting precious time.
