Fire Fox and hire this guy as assistant to the coach or whatever his role is. I say what not? I think he would be pumped at an opportunity like that.

I have been wondering what his next move will be. Coach at a lower level school, assistant at UConn or another college program, TV analyst, take a year off, assistant in the NBA, etc. He's clearly not an elite coach like his brother but he's not bad. His teams are competitive and good for a couple good upsets. each year. You could do worse. And if he came and really liked Lexington maybe he puts in a good word with his brother down the road...

Yep, this guy would be the homerun hire we are looing for! He has won 55% of his games overall and is 44% in conference. Sign him up!
He would be a major upgrade from mark Fox on name recognition alone. If you’re relying on your assistants to make the big coaching decisions you’re in massive trouble. I mean you think this Mo Williams is a better coach than Bobby Hurley. I mean the guys got a sub 500 record total. I’m not gonna judge him based on that. I’m gonna judge him based on whether or not he can kill it in the role. He’s given when you can get a guy that’s run a program that has name recognition It’s a heck of a better situation than we’re in right now with Mark Fox. I’ll just say that because Mark Fox brings absolutely zero to the table probably a net negative.

We don’t. And hiring a guy at UK who has never won a tournament game will be the biggest YA THINK that’s ever happened at UK. What dumbasss would hire a guy with a long record who’s never produced anything in his life? It’s insane to do it and insane to support it.

All joking aside, I doubt if BH would even consider coming to UK if asked and I don't see that ever happening. Maybe his brother will hire him.

Do you think a lot of 17 year olds remember Bobby Hurley?
If they’ve heard of him at all it would only be as Danny’s brother.

Not sure some realize just how ill-informed today’s kids are on history. To them things that happened more than a decade ago might as well have not happened at all.
