Haven’t looked at pomeroy ratings, have they really been ranked higher in each of the last 4 seasons? I find that hard to believe, especially in 2017
Whose next the coach
- Thread starter Canned Heat
- Start date
Beard has double digit losses 3 out of 4 seasons. You might want to check your math!
Why do people except for Beard to put up UK-like numbers when he’s not even at UK yet and at TTU. They have always been one of the worst P5 schools in basketball and have some of the worst facilities in Texas. And they have to recruit against Texas for in state talent along with Baylor. If he can bring in top 20 classes at TTU, why can’t he bring in top 8 or so classes at UK?
Brad Steven's makes 3.7 million coaching an iconic nba team...you tell me you offer him 8 million a year to coach at the most iconic team in cbb and that there would be zero change he turns this job down. I just don't see it.
Lol, that is just his base salary. He gets a lot of incentives added in annually that make that salary far closer to what we pay. Then he also gets advertisement deals. He also doesn't deal with recruiting, NCAA, parents/handlers and other headaches. Not to mention he has already turned down around 10 college jobs. He has no desire to come back to college or UK. It just isn't realistic.
Coaching in the NBA is a much better job to some than College basketball regardless of how much you pay them. Stevens never liked recurring and is coaching a Boston team with one of the best young cores in the league. He is not coming back to CBB unless he is forced out of Boston.
Lol, no. He has done nothing. 3 of 4 seasons he has double digit losses. He was already in the NIT once there and would have been back last year. His team isn't even off to a hot start this year. Just handing someone a better job doesn't mean they magically perform it better. That is one of the most illogical beliefs ever. Chris Beard's resume is steaming pile of dogshit so far. He doesn't deserve an interview.
So for Cal, you will worship him for an E8 but not the same with Beard? That's weird. Beards last 4 seasons have been better than Cal with 1 E8 and Championship appearance alone.
I mean, you can ask anyone, but I can assure you it's a resounding no. 99% chance we would get told there was no interest before an offer could even be presented.

Lol, well, no. Cal has a championship, 6 F4 in his career, 4 at UK. 7 E8's at UK and like 10+ overall.
Beard has 3 seasons with double digit losses in the last 4. He has an NIT appearance and a would be NIT appearance last year. So, that means 50% of the time he wouldn't have even made the tournament. Cal has had us in it all 4 of those years. We went to 2 E8's and a SW16 in that period. We also won 2 conference tournaments and 2 regular season championships to their none in that same time frame. Are you honestly that naïve to their records and accomplishments? Chris Beard is a Kia Elantra, Cal is a Rolls-Royce.
Right! Notice that says annual average salary and lists a plethora of other bonus structures he can earn.

I'm talking about the teams with Andre Riddick, Amimu Timberlake and Junior Braddy, not the first bunch.

When I lived there in the late '70's-early '80's the worst part of town was around Douglas Park, other than that I don't recall any other section being really bad.
Your post is logical and doesn’t fit the weird agenda of some on this board. How anyone can compare a coach at a historically bad school like Texas tech to coaching at a Blue blood school like Kentucky isn’t fair or rational at all. Those same people have to degrade other coaches to fit their agenda to deflect any fair or unfair criticisms of Calipari. It’s really strange at times.

On top of all this, did you ever hear of the "Happy Meal incident" when Gene Iba coached Baylor? It was back in the early 90's and Baylor had just lost to TCU in Fort Worth. Iba was so upset that he had the team bus drive through a McDonald's in Fort Worth for the post game "meal". Never paid and the bus bolted through the drive-through line with a load of burgers and fries. After getting back to Waco after midnight, Iba had the team go through a full practice since he was so incensed. The police didn't catch up with him until the next day but it was a total embarrassment for the Baylor program.
I would take an E8 and a championship appearance over 3 Elite eights and a round of 32 exit. I struggle to understand why you feel he should be the second coming of John Wooden at TTU to be eligible to coach at UK.
I think you seem confused. I don't think anyone claimed he should win 11 titles. However, going to the NIT 50% of the time and an expectation of double digit losses annually won't work well here. Not to mention 0 conference tournament championships. We have people like you not satisfied with 5 - 6 losses a season and E8 finishes. If Beard and that record are the best we can do, we have really fallen on hard times.
Oh man, how dare a coach have mediocre seasons the first 2 years on the job at the traditional CBB powerhouse Texas Tech. TTU had never been to the E8 in its 90 years of existence, and in 4 years Beard has been to 2. Stop trying to expect coaches at historically bad programs with nowhere near the resources and recruiting pull to compete consistently in such a short time period.
I’d say you laugh at yourself a whole lot then.
Well how do you expect people to read your mind? I take first teams as, well, first teams.

Actually I was talking about the Celtics, I forgot about his stint with the Knicks.
Damn if I would be like that for Beard, it would be scary how low you would go for your savior Calipari.

I anticipate retirements in the next 5-10 years, I wouldn’t be surprised if it ends up being:
UK -Drew
Duke - Few
Kansas - Wright
UNC - Beard
UK -Drew
Duke - Few
Kansas - Wright
UNC - Beard
This might be the dumbest thing anyone has ever posted on this site and that is quite the accomplishment. Congratulations!

I do not understand the fascination with this guy . What has he ever done to warrant even a sniff from UK ?
May as well go after Daniel Mondragon...........
Last time I checked he was the AD so why wouldn’t be his decision lol
But that’s okay because there will be another coaching change to replace the coach that replaces Calipari after year three of not satisfying fans expectations. Mitch will also oversee that replacement also since that is his job
You made my point. Mitch will make the wrong decision resulting in having to make another 3 years later
If I was Barnhart and Cal decides to leave (only way he's gone IMO) you go in this order and throw serious cash at them. Make them say no. It is hard to turn down $10M a year
Stevens
Few
Donovan
The old Michigan coach who's name is escaping me that went to the Cavs
Hail Mary attempt at Izzo
Then you look at the Beards, Drews, etc...
But one bad year and this one is really bad) is not going to see Cal fired.

No one knows any of these coaches personally. We do know most have huge egos and like $. Kentucky is a dream job for any Coach in Basketball. I think if CAL leaves we won’t have trouble finding his replacement. Will it work out who knows but they can hire just about anyone.
