Coaching Hot Seat and Searches

If I had a nickel for every time I heard that from an IT resource.

I don't think Kentucky is the "blue blood" program that they once were.  NIL and the transfer portal got them just like everyone else.  BBN needs to reset expectations.

It makes the coach even more important and program itself less so.

Players and recruits can leave anytime for a better shot at the NBA.

As I hope we're about to see over the next few days.

Kentucky is going to end up trading Calipari for Bruce Pearl. (not a bad coach at all but not the Hurley, Donavan, Drew choice they thought they would be making) 

The meltdown and rationalization of it all will be glorious.

Another article detailed conversations between Cal and Sampson on Yurachek.

Sounds like Cal's issues with Barnhart at UK made him thoroughly vet Yurachek and he passed the test.

I'm still following UK accounts just to watch it all

Yes, do it. He was wronged. Right the wrongs. You had the wrong John all this time.

He'll be unforgettable.

Pearl and Beard are good coaches, but I think a lot of people are going to question running off Cal for one of those two, both of whom have significant baggage and a mixture of successes and failures.

And the national media will place it all at the feet of Arkansas for having the nerve to even attempt buying themselves a position above their natural station.

which one of you posted that?

For some reason, Pearl's name is trending on X right now.

Has the feel of Billy Gillespie II.

We literally just did that.

Now over the long haul maybe Muss proves out to win a couple nattys somewhere. Who knows. Personally after seeing him get boo fooed over and over I began to question his overall ability to mind the store. It felt like once he was figured out there wasn't enough trick up the sleeve.

Kentucky will be fine. Maybe they have to swallow a suck hire but they'll be back in a few years.

Yeah, I hope it works out for us and we become another example of the exception.

BCG collapsed under the limelight b/c he's an alcoholic shut-in.  Pearl isn't a shut-in.

[AporkalypseNow]

Pearl is a solid coach.  He's not a great tourney coach.  He's a very good, but not terrific, recruiter.

He's a year younger than Cal.

Right now they think they are going at Hurley with $100 mil and he'll change his mind. 

If they slip to Pearl the fanbase will have pitchforks and torches at the airport when he gets there.

No way they settle for someone like Jans this soon.

Hurley officially says no. Strike 2

[BASS]

Is Phil Jackson interested?

Turned it down. They're down to Tito now.

[AporkalypseNow]

They aren't counting Oates but I'd say they've already struck out 3 times and are on to #4 with Donovan.

[buff2.0]

Now they may be after Mark Pope from BYU
