Just polished off by far the worst season in Louisville history with an embarrassing 18 point loss to a very mediocre 16 / 16 BC team..

We can't ride with this staff another year and farther tarnish the image of our famed program.

Time to turn the page..

@REDFISTFURY3 is too busy laughing at posts to actually mount any semblance of a defense to retain Payne - aka the W.O.A.T.

Apparently, his social agenda is more important to him than having the person who unleashed the worst season in UofL history take responsibility for making the program the laughingstock of CBB.

He / she certainly shares the same sort of myopathy common in big hillbilly nation. For years, he / she has been unfailingly critical of losses while pitino and mack were here. Now he / she doesn’t even have courage to pump sunshine for his man KP.

I'm not sure how badly Beard's market value has been affected, but he was making $5 million annually at Texas. So if you fired Payne now and hired Beard, here would be the annual salary and buyout costs for our current and past head coaches...

2023
Mack's buyout $1.6 million
Payne's buyout $3.3 million
Beard's salary $5 million

2024
Mack's buyout $1.6 million
Payne's buyout $3.3 million
Beard's salary $5 million

2025
Payne's buyout $3.3 million
Beard's salary $5 million

By comparison, the basketball budget this year is around $7 million which we will assume covers Payne's salary and Mack's buyout. Presumably for the next two years, you would need another $10 million to pay for Beard assuming you couldn't cut basketball expenses anywhere else.

And I've posted the chart below before for men's basketball budgets. For years, U of L has systematically REDUCED the money it spends to fund men's basketball.

This is why you're just dreaming about hiring Beard or any other high profile coach. When Mack's buyout ends in 2025, we will be able to afford a modestly paid coach--about what Payne makes--who will hopefully way outperform what we will be paying him.

The basketball program has been deemphasized. What we (do not) invest in basketball is evidence of that...

So fiscal issues rule that you must be cheap and keep Payne, and then replace him with an up and comer.

Those aren’t my preferences and probably not Josh Heird’s. We’re all forced to play the hand we were dealt.

OT but Heird’s predecessor oughta be tried for several crimes…
