As interim?

 

Yes, interim only

What? @UKMustangFan @MentschTrachtGottLacht is this guy crazy or am I missing something?

 

I think any X fans that are eager to see him out the door should be careful what they wish for. Gonna be real hard to replace and replicate what he's done there.

Multiple reports say it's David Padgett.

Tough situation and not sure what the correct answer is for an interim coach. You would like to get out of the Pitino family, which Padgett is not, but with practice starting in a matter of days, what other options do you have?

Scott Davenport would have been a good choice.

Of course, Scotty served at UofL under both Denny Crum and Rick Pitino. Let's just say Scotty's seen some things.

Was it Bob Davis who had a good thing going at Georgetown and then went to Auburn and faded from memory? I'm sure Scott would get a tremendous pay increase if offered the job, but the grass is not always greener....

Had this shaken out over the summer, maybe so. But how do you bring on an interim coach, that is a head coach at another school, this close to practice tipping off?

I wonder how the NCAA will feel about them picking someone from Pitino's staff?

They will probably say, "given the situation, what else can you do?" I guess forfeiting the season is a possibility, but to bring on a whole new crew seems like a tall order. Some of the established names being floated do not want to come in on an interim basis. They would want to make it their job interview for the long term gig.

So there are some X fans who aren't Mack fans? That's absolutely absurd to me.

:lol2: Can't make this up....David Padgett was represented by none other than Andy Miller during his playing days. The same Andy Miller that just got visited by the FBI. :lol2:

I think this is the best fit for Louisville. old-time roots, extensive D1 head coaching experience, already in town in Louisville, no baggage ... that's why I brought his name up earlier in the thread

5pm press conference at UL, for what it's worth Forde saying it Padgett as interim

So there are some X fans who aren't Mack fans?

 

Several that I know of, all of which are over the age of 70.

I have a brother-in-law and a good friend who are both X alums and basketball fans, they wouldn't be to upset to see Chris Mack go....

 

Interesting, I'd love to chat with both about their logic and what the issues are that are so lodged into their saddle that they'd welcome a coaching change.
