I agree, the NBA is probably where he ends up. But if he wants to stick to college, I can see why he wouldn’t want to play second fiddle to football. He seems like that kind of guy, more than Donovan at least. Some coaches want to basically be lauded by their school’s fans, administrators and boosters. And Florida simply can’t offer that this anyone but the football coach.
I want Will Wade personally. Just has that kind of personality that thrives at a school like Kentucky.
Man there’s a few trolls here that are intentionally being obtuse to keep arguments going. I’m convinced we’ve got the same person or 2 that does this. No UK fan is going to want to miss a shot at that in this moment for Pope. They don’t exist. There might be some that want to give mark a 3rd year, but to me even they would trade tonight if riven the real chance. Almost all.
Eh I don't know about "false"
I remember a lot of people in Calipari’s last year here saying Golden needs a serious look if Calipari goes. Remember there were quite a lot of people saying it actually. It was pretty obvious he was going to have the potential. And now we know it. So my main point is if pope is middlin next season, he needs to be replaced. Go get the sure thing or as sure if the thing as can be. You don’t retain Pope in his mid 50’s and pass on a young guy like Golden who’s obviously a better bet. All I’m saying.
He’s a uh… firebrand.. (to put it nicely) but you’re right I think he’d do well here.
Pearl is pushing 70. Screw that. Go after Golden/Lloyd (dude just whipped KU's *** and is primed for a FF run)/Oats in that order.
Never. Dude was literally cheating his *** off. You don't want that at Kentucky because the NCAA microscope would be insane.
Well Oats has a final four at Alabama the first coach in history to do it. Who knows what he’s capable of at Kentucky. He’s also an excellent evaluator. There’s no way I’d stick with Pope if we could have oats it didn’t make sense. There is a big difference in Alabama and Kentucky basketball. He doesn’t even have a good NIL. And 69% is well above 63%. That’s a wide gap my friend. He’s younger too. Albeit I keep thinking pope is 55 he’s actually 53 and turns 54 sometime in September I think. So he’ll be 54 next season. Oats is 50 or 51.
I’d be be happy with Golden, Lloyd, Oats honestly. Pearl would be more of a bridge coach tbh. I think he’d get us a FF or two. Probably better to go for a long term coach yeah
Yep we’ve got a lot of people not remembering this. There were many people saying Golden needs to be taken a look at before his title. It was obvious he was going to be a good one. Experts also. Matt Jones mentioned him several times. Before the title b
Depends on what kind of rebuttals I think you might have. People can’t stand reason.
It’s very possible. And if we did get him, we’d be worried about it all all the time. That’s true. Might turn into a year to year question, and I really hate dealing with that. But Donovan was open to Kentucky and according to several insiders at the time, would have left Florida for Kentucky but he wanted the pros.
Go attack someone else, troublemaker.
Golden could win 2 and still take UK. Golden is not going to remain at Florida for a career. If you talk to a lot of Florida fans online they don’t believe it either, although they think he’ll end up in the NBA. But who knows, if he sees a Pitino legacy or coach K situation in the making, take UK and do it where it counts.
It is absolutely not made up. There were even post here saying take a look at Golden. 100% fact. It was discussed multiple times. And it was also discussed that Golden will be a good one by a lot of analyst.
Florida is a very good job. I wouldn’t leave for Kansas or UNC.
and they’ve had Napier which left Golden as BMOC. His run is probably over now that they have Sumrall.
and I’m saying right now that if Kentucky needs a coach, Josh Schwertz should get a look. There will be a lot of people claiming to have said this in a couple of years.
Before last season? Based on what?

Yeah, there were text messages and social media communications.
If he wins a couple of games in the tournament, he’ll be a red hot candidate this off season. He’s going to Syracuse unless something bigger comes along.
That’s improving. We’re not seeing improvement here. Last years team would destroy this one.
I’m not arguing for or against Golden if we need a replacement, but the accusations didn’t turn out to be false.
