November 18, 201213 yr For those that don't know I own the site where this started. The guy that posted it is very connected, and got it from several sources in the coaching and agent community. Could be smoke to fan the flames of interest, but there is usually fire when these things get started...
November 18, 201213 yr I think UK is denying it because both Kentucky and Cincinnati has games left and like GT said where there's smoke there's fire.
November 18, 201213 yr Of course they are. Shocking. Peevy issued the statement. My guess is technically UK is telling the truth but there is more to it.
November 18, 201213 yr Better than what UK had as Head Coach? Yes. The man that gets the excitement back and to compete in the SEC? No.
November 18, 201213 yr Better than what UK had as Head Coach? Yes. The man that gets the excitement back and to compete in the SEC? No. Pretty much my thoughts, and why I wouldn't like the hire.
November 18, 201213 yr Author Neither UK or UC is going to say anything while the season is still going. I don't think Jones will come to UK, it's more of a lateral move program wise even if it is a step up in conferences. The report said UK offered him the job, doesn't say anything about interest from Jones or if he will accept it.
November 18, 201213 yr Can Butch Jones win at UK? Only have to win 6 a year and give the Blue Bloods a nice little out of town Bowl trip every year. I think BJ could accomplish that.
November 18, 201213 yr Better than what UK had as Head Coach? Yes. The man that gets the excitement back and to compete in the SEC? No. Pretty much my thoughts, and why I wouldn't like the hire. The reality is the UK job might be one of the most difficult hires in college football
November 18, 201213 yr Peevy issued the statement. My guess is technically UK is telling the truth but there is more to it. Saying "would 16 mil over 5 years make you interested?" isn't the same as "we'll pay you 16 mil over 5 years"
November 18, 201213 yr The reality is the UK job might be one of the most difficult hires in college football It is the most difficult. Why? Best conference, state that is not really serious about making high school football better, population of said state, facilities are garbage and the way the funding is setup that will not get better very fast, and a fan base that is at the top of the world in basketball and wants close to the same in football.
