This is fun. I hope they keep him just to watch the implosion of all the UK fanbase after they've basically had Pitino, Donnovan, and/or Calipari hired.
I mean if he comes back for next year, unless he makes a Sweet Sixteen run he is gone.
I'm pretty sure we have gone past the point where he could stay. If he couldn't do better than 8-8 with two of the best players in the SEC then he has no business at Kentucky.

Darius Miller was offered by every school in the country and was a top 50 player.
Deandre Liggins was considered a Top 50 Player and was snubbed by not being chosen to the McDonald's all american game.
So with two big time frosh and two super studs in Meeks and Patterson along with a half dozen other players that were offered by numerous other Division I programs he couldn't beat UGA at home when they needed it to go to the tourney.
There is no way you say this about Stans. No freaking way.</p>

I dont care who offered who...hell, look at Dook's talent last night with all those 5 star's they have....
None of those other 3 guys could have started at LSU, State, Tennessee, Auburn, SC, or Florida for sure...those guys arent top half SEC talent...their PG was probably the worst in the SEC...
How many of those 3 could have started at Mississippi before the injuries?

But only because he is tall. He would have started at Auburn so they could have moved Vot to the 4. Possibly the same thing at State. Not saying he would have played 35 minutes at either place, but those two teams for sure would have used him.
You don't think Miller and Liggins could have started at UGA?
Really?
So with Meeks and Patterson, two of the top 5 players in the SEC and two top freshman, along with 5 other role players you can't beat UGA at home? Really?
8-8 is good enough? ********.
If Stans had gone 8-8 with two First Team ALL SEC performers in the SEC you would be calling for his head. Hell he went 9-7 with one All SEC performer and a host of players that weren't offered by UK and before the SEC tourney you wanted him gone.
Why the double standard? What have Gillepsie and his 3 NCAA tourney wins proven to you so far?

I think you are totally full of crap. Switch the personell on MSU and Kentucky and you would call for Stansbury's head for going 8-8 and the NIT. Gillespie did a sh%$ job this year but you can't bring yourself to admit it because you had him pegged as being so much greater than Rick. It ain't like the other 3 starters were yanked out of the Sanderson Center. Hell they lost at Rupp to Georgia not to mention they got clobbered by State.
So far, Stansbury 2 Gillespie 0

If Coach wants to say he needs more time that is one thing, but to say he did an ok job because of the lack of talent at UK is just laughable.
What other team in the SEC can boast a better 1-2 punch than Meeks and Patterson. You can't.
If he couldn't ride those two guys to a 10-6 SEC record when the SEC sucked this year, then he did a piss poor job.
He ended the season going 3-8 in the SEC. 3 and freaking 8. Just a joke.
He may end up being a great coach somewhere else, but he sucked at UK this year.
Then again Coach made excuses for Pelphrey as well despite his 2-14 record so Im not sure he is capable of admitting he is/was wrong about Gillespie and Pelphrey.

The Georgia loss was one of the worst in UK basketball history. They had only lost 4 times ever on senior night. Georgia came in with 2 wins in a down league and UK had so much to play for. He benched his starters for a few minutes in the second half and UGA went on a 10-0 run to seize control. UK was on the bubble up until that point.
when he did such a good job at aTm. Did any of you ever watch his aTm teams? I seem to recall a well-coached squad with everyone playing their role to the betterment of the team. In other words, the success of the team was higher than the sum of its individual parts. I figured he would really tear it up at UK once he had access to even better talent. Then oddly enough, he falls on his face.
When you have two elite SEC players you don't need 3 more elite players to make it to the NCAA tourney and beat a horrible UGA team at home on Senior night.
As for other players that could start, Im sure MSU or AU. I know that Perry Stevenson could have easily started at Ole Miss as we did not have an inside presence at all.
Also, if you are going to say that Miller and Liggins are horrible, and couldn't start anywhere else in the SEC, well isn't that more proof that Gillespsie is in over his head, since he brought these guys in? If the talent is horrible at UK then that is his freaking fault. Im sure it would be Stans fault if the guys he brought in were overrated. If Osby doesn't improve, does Stans get a pass? Of course not.
Miller and Liggins could have easily started at a handful of SEC teams, and the bottom line is that if you are picking the top 5 players in the SEC, UK has two of them, and even with them they couldn't win more than 8 games in the SEC.
His *** got fired for a reason and losing to Gardner Webb, VMI, and UGA at hom on Senior night are just a few of the reasons. Didn't you say Croom's loss to Maine was inexcusable, well losing to Gardner Webb at home is inexcusable.</p>

I don't think Gillespie is a bad coach, but he just didn't fit in at UK for whatever reason. Really, it could have happened to anyone.
To me, as an outsider, it seems like it all started with that loss to Gardner-Webb, which someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that was one of his first games. After that, it all seemed to hit the fan.

Let me get this straight. You think that Gillespie did a good job after going 8-8 and misses the NCAAs with not one but two 1st team All SEC players in a weak conference at the second all time winningest program in NCAA history. You also think Pelphrey did a good job after going 2-14 at Arkansas with a young team in an also young league. These two coaches are at the two schools with the most tradition, the most money, the most fan support, and the easiest to recruit players to yet both failed miserably.
Just admit it. You were totally wrong about these two coaches and don't bring Stansbury into this because it will only make your argument more weak than it already is.
