Some coaches still want to climb to the top of the coaching mountain and be among the best of the best to ever do it!

Other coaches are comfortable sitting on the sidelines of the dance floor sipping on Arnold Palmers and watching those coaches leave with the hot chick at the end of the night!

Tells you all you need to know about today’s beta male population 💯💯
Iowa State is still in the tournament. We are on the sideline. Might want to reword your opinion lol

I had a wise person one time tell us in an employee meeting that when we were getting ready for work, if we had to ask ourselves if an outfit was appropriate to wear to work, that is it probably best not to wear it to work.
Well I'll cheer on the UK haters from here on out. I'll welcome them since we are pushing for diversity around here. Got enough outsiders running UK already. I guess what eagle said ..this is a cult if trolls aren't welcomed? That's how I took it

Also if a coach wants to be remembered as the Best......say a coach wins four titles at UNC. Another coach wins four titles at Iowa State...


You get what I mean? Who's the better coach? Y'all keep talking about being remembered.

Duly noted.
Yea you're kind of acting like that might of been one of your other accounts. I've noticed certain trolls are overly protected .. agenda pushers. Gotta keep the plants. Thats even in real life.not just a ol forum.

Kind of like getting banned for cussing a troll..then bringing more attention to it in the long run instead of just leaving it alone

If Lane Kiffin would leave Ole Miss for LSU then yes, you can lure coaches away under the right circumstances.

Do I think Tommy Lloyd would want to go to UNC? No, I don't think he'd leave the west coast. Do I think Iowa State's coach or Billy Donovan possibly would? Yeah, probably.

UNC is a hard one though because they have no history of going outside of the Carolina Circle.
I don't think Lane Kiffin is a great example because he's a job hopping *****.

I have no other accounts. I don't spend all day creating new ones like some. Think what you want. If you can't see how telling someone to go F themselves is not immediate ban worthy then ok. I won't explain it any more than that.

I don't mind the ban. Haven't fought that or asked you to unban. You keep downplaying the troll tho which is odd assuming you are a UK fan.

I'm not downplaying anything. I told you a bit ago I didn't see anything ban worthy for them.

Because competitive people don’t run from pressure — they chase it.
If a Sweet 16 gets you worshipped somewhere else, fine. But at a blueblood, the standard is higher, and that’s where the best are supposed to want to be.
I think this is mostly a misread of the actual dynamic at play. I don’t really think most coaches have some sort of borderline masochistic desire to put themselves under as much pressure as possible. I think they want to win first and foremost, and in the past have been mostly willing to take on the extra pressure in exchange for the clear advantages towards winning that the blue blood programs could offer.

The state of the sport has changed over the years though, and those advantages are no longer nearly as pronounced to the point that some of them may no longer exist at all. UNC may still get a good coach, but it’s entirely rational that a lot of coaches already in a place where they can consistently compete for championships would decide the trade off isn’t worth it.

This reminds me of UK's coaching search with a lot of thanks but no thanks replies from higher end coaches. The blue blood schools like UK & UNC will have to vastly overpay for a coach to lure them away from a well paying far less pressure school.

It’s nothing like our search. UNC hasn’t offered a job nor had an interview. They are going to upgrade their coach if they have to pay big time. UNCheat, Kentucky both blue bloods need a kick start and whatever you invest in a coach you will get back. But yes you’re gonna have to pay to land a coach.

I don't want him banned. He's not offensive to me. But you have yet to even acknowledge the troll (SecHonk). I'm not talking about his thread this morning. I'm talking about the last ten years.


I already know what's up with this forum. I'm not really asking you anything. Just want it to be obvious to other posters.

Then what onearth is the point you're trying to make? You don't want who you call known trolls to be allowed here? Don't want him banned but saying I'm protecting him. Whew mercy.

Yeah, normally, yes, I would agree that's the case. But my point was just showing that Ole Miss was more successful than LSU was, he had plenty of money being offered yet still jumped at LSU because of their name and money.

But that's not everyone obviously.

Like minded? Are you trying to say a troll that openly mocks UK is good discussion?

And I'm ok with him coming to do his troll thing. It doesn't bother me. I simply said eff em. I didn't know that was ban worthy. I don't like cults but I also don't like blatant disrespect to UK
Lol. Just messing with you. I'm a fan of the eff em approach...but it's also ban-worthy apparently.

I’m not so sure Billy Donovan is a home run anymore. Recruiting is what pretty much pushed him out of college and that’s about 95% of it now. He’s been out of the college game for a long time. As for Tommy Lloyd, I just can’t see him leaving the West. Arizona will match whatever they offer him.
Part of me hopes he takes the job. He'd kill it there. Sooner or later the big money donors will get involved and make the decision for UK. A hire like this would just speed that up.

If recruiting is 95% of it now, why is Ben McCollum's Iowa team in the Elite Eight?

Why is Iowa State, with their poverty NIL, playing for an Eight Eight spot tonight?

If anything, coaching acumen is at a premium right now.

And I say that as a man who watched Hubert Davis fail to call a timeout to stop a pivotal 5 second call in front of his bench. UNC would have surely won more games this past 5 years with a better coach.

Lloyd just gonna get a big raise.
They love these situations.
He has an advantage on recruiting anybody west of the Mississippi right now.
Why screw with that?
He won’t.
I agree. I don't think he will leave what he has going out there.

You banned me for saying way less than I've said before and it was towards a known troll . But instead of just deleting the post like you've done plenty of times you banned me. Which is fine if we pick and choose day to day what's ban worthy.


I'm ok with the ban. But to ban me like I said that to a good poster is crazy to me. It's not like I told fox2monk go fck himself...or cowtown or farsight or any of the many good posters. By good posters I mean obvious UK fans .... It was friggin sechonk or whatever his name ....


But there's no issue. Just think it's odd when I've said way worse. But it was ok then because I was probably saying it toward the fan base and not a troll .

But you are highly unlikely to win even a single title at Iowa State. Their athletic department is practically broke. They are giving their coach a fraction of the NIL that many other programs get.

Otzelberger has coached at Iowa State 3 different times as an assistant or head coach. He met his wife there. It's possible he legitimately sees that school as Home, even if he never wins a single title.

He really isn't. Any coach wired like Kiffin would jump at the chance to take the LSU football job. They are absolutely a Blue Blood football program.

Davis fired him in Oakland over Lane not wanting Jamarcus Russell. He left the Vols to go home to USC. If you know anything about his past, you'd know what USC meant to him when he left for that job. Those are the only ones that need explaining. All the rest of his moving has been extremely normal in the coaching world.

Formal interviews are usually after the fact informal contact has been through third parties. Some coaches will show slight interest to get a raise from their current school.

The donovan slurp is so confusing . Who the hell knows if he will still be a good college coach. That's as risky as having a team full of blown out acl players that should be back by Christmas.
An excellent Xs and Os coach doesn't suddenly forget that. And that's what Donovan is. What he did at Florida, during a time that the SEC was widely regarded as a bunch of scrubs that Kentucky could just beat up every year, was very impressive.

If you don't want Donovan, I'll happily take him. With no buyout, that's just more money we can give the GM for NIL.
