People are underestimating what’s going on in AA.  Howard has the juice now.  Reminds me of when people thought Jalen Rose was coming to UK to be an assistant.  

AA?

Yes. Anyone should want 2 over 1. If CAL had 2 we wouldn’t have this thread going. He has done less with the most besides winning tourney games and choking in Big games.

So this response is exactly why I bright up the whole OSU coach must not be a guy UK fans want anymore then. He has failed with a top team against a 15 seed, and really no tournament success on his resume. 
 

I just find it crazy honestly that our fans say things like that. At the end of the day when a coach has been somewhere 10 years. A coach is going to have seasons and tournaments where they lose.  Shoot at UK, fans are usually always going to think any tournament lost is a lost that shouldn’t have happened. There are going to be seasons where win games they probably shouldn’t. It’s unreasonable to think, that you won’t see a little bit of everything over a 10 year period. Which is what we see with other top coaches too.

Ann Arbor

So is it time to now also take Tony Bennett off the list of possible replacements for Cal? If what Cal has done isn’t up to UK fans expectations. No way Tony Bennett’s resume would fit the need. Especially since fans like to talk about getting upset. Tony Bennett besides on season is known for underachieving and now has losses to a 16 seed and 13 seed in the last four years. Cross him off the list, right?

Yeah let’s get Ohio’s Coach and their team too. Preston and company better players then the 5 stars CAL brings in.

Hey I’m just trying to follow your all’s energy with some of your all’s constant non stop complaining of Cal. Especially some of the crazy things you all have said and used against him.  Which I thought it would be fair to point out those things, for the coaches some of you all have thought would be better to have. 

Let’s see what Mark Pope can do tonight.

I don't think UK fans want UK to be on the Sports Illustrated cover again for the reasons Pearl may be most likely to put them there.

Looks like we can cross another name off this list. As now Mark Pope joined some of the others in losing to a double digit seed in the first round. In fact only three guys left on the list who is even still in it. A couple didn’t make the tournament, one even got fired, a few others lost in first round now to double digit seeds. I didn’t include Vogel, because he is in the NBA and isn’t leaving the Lakers to come here. Let’s see if the three that are left, can do something to make their resume even close to the level that is possibly worthy of the demands UK fans expect in a coach. So far most of these guys have now failed at what fans say they expect a coach to be able to do.

Welp...

Another on the replacement list upset by a double digit seed in the first round. Must just be Madness in March.

It’s kind of like this tournament is hard to win or something.
 

One bad game, or simply one great game by your opponent and you are out. 

Can we just pretend that @Tomcats1990wanted Shaka Smart too? Haha!

Beat me to it MJ.

Sure. It doesn't take much pretending at all to do that.
