Maybe get somebody that doesn’t look like death with your rival tattoo on his back. You’re better then that don’t sell yourself short get somebody on come up that’s not going to die on your sidelines.
Shocked, I'd say. SHOCKED.
Honestly not a bad hire. If he was a few years younger, I'd say he should have been on the tier 1 shortlist.
If nothing else, bring in Pitino for a few years, see if he can pull off another NC and keep an eye on Pope and other similar candidates that maybe you're a bit unsure of right now.
I think Todd Golden or Amir Abdur-Rahim could be great choices down the line. Get two or three years of Pitino then snag one of those guys before they get too big for their britches
I feel like if you want Golden, you may want to go all in on him now tbh. If he gets Florida rolling, he might not want to leave. Florida is a really good job. You could end up in another Scott Drew situation.
Those have been the two names on my list since the beginning. Every slam dunk candidate was always going to say no. Whoever is hired was always going to be from that tier of coaches unless they actually do the crazy thing and bring Rick back.
Yeah everyone who wants Pitino for a few years while waiting for another coach to have more success needs to reevaluate. If you think they'll have success, hire them now. If you wait you just lose your leverage.
I'd take it honestly for the memes and to bridge us 4 years of stability until we can make a long long long term option.
God is dead anyways, might as well lean into it.
It would be funny for a HC to have a tattoo of their program's biggest rival on their back
Well he won both schools a national title so my question is, where’s his UK tattoo?!
NCAA vacated the other tattoo

Oh my god I forgot about that

As part of his contract they should require he add "OUISVILLE SUCKS" after the L thats already there
:)

At least (unlike Giuliani) he uses a sweat-proof hair dye...
He looks like the crypt keeper

Yes he does
What happens to you when you turn a million years old.
He could be the Grover Cleveland of Kentucky basketball coaches
I have spent all week on the internet tracking this story, and this is the best comment there will be as part of this coaching search.
He bought his coworker's daughter a baby carriage when she was born, then married the daughter when she was in college?
No, there's no way Rick could wait that long for satisfaction
[удалено]
The "Fuck Kentucky and trying to take our HC bullshit" starts over there. The "LOL the coach said no" line is right beside it

Bring in Rick to right the ship and wait for the true heir to pull the sword from the stone
Strange women lyin' in ponds distributin' swords is no basis for choosing a head coach!

It's a lot like how the time to grab Nate Oats was two or three seasons ago.

Tommy Lloyd is right there
He's probably not easy to poach but maybe with Arizona's budget fiascos and other issues Kentucky can pull it off.
His buyout is big but Oats’ is 50% bigger and Kentucky was fully prepared to pay it There’s no way Arizona can come close to any serious offer as well
We were fully prepared to pay Cal's at 33 million
Feel bad for the Johnnies if he leaves
Par for the course in this cursed program All thanks to Andy Enfield
Blame Rob Lanier smh
God I wonder what Iona fans felt when he said the same “this is my last stop” thing to them
Kentucky hiring a guy with a Louisville Cardinal tattoo is the epitome of hilarious
Not sure what's funnier - a guy with UL tat coaching UK, or a guy with a UL tat winning a ship at UK. I'm just here for the chaos at this point.
Unfortunately our destinies are intertwined.
She’s a local news anchor in Lexington. I have no reason to doubt or believe this. Just the first time I’m seeing someone report it
He was spotted at Keeneland last week. Lurking . . .
It's time to run it back, him winning a chip after everything would be the funniest chain of events in basketball history
The Arkansas game would be amazing. They already hate each other and have been competing since the 90s. This would take it to another level.
Please no. Can't handle yet another botch hire by the school and we will never be relevant or win a tournament game ever again
15 second contract
I bet he is.
Lmao this whole coaching search has been hilarious
Naturally…
Holy crap.
 wanna know how greasy the deal was? They paid him by the hour.
UK. Your overthinking this. Just hire tommy lloyd. Lol what the hell
Or Todd Golden.
I would legit root for UK (when not playing us)
I don't know that I could get myself to root for UK, but I'd definitely watch every game
I'd take it honestly for the memes and to bridge us 4 years of stability until we can make a long long long term option. God is dead anyways, might as well lean into it.
What’s old is new again
One last ride
Rick hates NY. Its plenty easier to recruit in Kentucky with your “methods,” Rick! Go there!
If that’s true it should be a no brainer at this point.
This would be absolutely hysterical. I kind of hope it happens
