Blank check. Every cent of it should first come out of Brainfart’s salary.
CALIPARI WOULD NEVER COME, HES SOOO ENTRENCHED AT MEMPHIS!
Nobody is coming here. we are stuck in the rut with this thing called King Pope.
Mitch tripped over his tiny penis with gillispie and needed help from boosters to hold it with cal. Same thing this time.
Oats would come here. See I can make statements on message boards I know nothing about too.
His kids are all in Alabama and was recently divorced and does not want to be away from them on top of the fact that when the job opened when Cal left , before he was even talked to . He doesn’t want the pressure or expectations that UK and the fans expect.
Oats added that Final Fours are “expected at a place like Kentucky,” citing UK fans’ disappointment in John Calipari at the end of Calipari’s time in Lexington. “Like, John Calipari’s a pretty good coach, he’s won a lot of games in his life,” Oats said. “He’s won everywhere he’s been, and they weren’t happy.”

That’s clearly not true and why we don’t have Hurley or Drew and we have Pope
Why is this lie being repeated? He said he liked the pressure at UK, Becuase he holds himself to a similar pressure. And he’s not divorced. There’s literally a yahoo article talkign about his marriage, dated March 2025. Where did this BS come from?
I sent them the exact article this was quoted in and they just say it was coach speak. Not understanding that the fan behavior is why he doesn’t want to be here. I’m still hoping for Golden though if things don’t get fixed.
I think Oats will eventually coach at a blue blood before the end of his career. I can't see him happily playing second fiddle to Bama football forever. His ego and talent is built for a high level basketball school. Same with Golden.
College basketball is immensely more popular than in 1995. Especially with how awful the NBA is.
The thing is, guarantee contracts is what got is in deep water in the first place.. one with Pope and Cal's last one.
Im not sure i ever want to see a guaranteed contract again.. but my fear here is that no coach is going to leave his current job, to come to UK without one. Way too risky of a job where fans have the highest expectations. So as much as I hate Mitches contracts.. are they neccesary?
(Disclaimer: Mitch still needs to go for many other reasons).

If it’s not Kentucky, he probably ends up at Kansas in a couple years. Maybe UNC if they can’t find a “UNC man.”
Except that there's actually some evidence that he won't come here versus that he will. The biggest reason being is we can't afford to pay his buyout.
If we had a blank check, might as well offer the best. Dusty May
This. If we are going to talk about a replacement, at least discuss someone who hasn't already turned us down.
And it would take a miracle somewhere between water into wine and raising Lazarus to win with this bunch.
I didn’t claim to. I’m just not pretending to know something. I hope that clears up the difference.
Me too, I miss that 9 win season, I miss losing to Saint Peters and Oakland in the tourney. Oh the good old days.
