Told ya’ll.

Excellent hire for the Cardinals. They just may become my second favorite Kentucky team.

When Cal was asked about it...

"First of all, he’s a dear friend, They could not hire anybody that will do a better job than Kenny Payne. Great coach, great human being, great husband, great father, Louisville graduate. He should’ve been hired before there. If they get him, they get the best of the best.”

Hasn't he kind of been the obvious choice ever since Mack was dismissed?

Even before then around here. 

I wish Kenny the best.   Let's hope he's the next Bob Huggins and not the next Patrick Ewing.

Biggest two assets: NIL and the transfer portal. He'll be ok. Mack was doomed from the start following Slick Rick and trying to extinguish that dumpster fire. Fan base never really accepted him.

I don't agree he wasn't accepted. I think the overwhelming majority of Louisville fans thought he was the obvious choice based on available candidates. 

He was definitely up against it following RIck and having the NCAA looming. That was never going to be easy, regardless of who it was. You never wanna be the guy that follows The Guy.

Amen to that.... especially when there is trouble.

KP is currently on his way to Louisville. 

Press conference scheduled for 10:00am tomorrow. 

Coach Crum was the first to greet KP.
