Kinda felt like this was coming this morning. Last night I thought he'd take it. But this morning vibes coming out of Waco were pretty confident he was staying.

I can't blame him...plane trackers and checking on me at lunch would give me reservations as well.

I think the family had a lot to say about it….

Bruce Pearl!!!!  Come on Down!!!!!

Couple of things from last night that made me pessimistic this morning. 

1. Kids are in high school and have grown up in Waco.

2. Drew's currently in the middle of building custom dream home.

3. Wife was kinda freaked out by TV stations waiting at airport yesterday and the flight being diverted to another airport to avoid them. Does not crave attention at all.

You completely misread what I was saying. I was co-signing on your post in about 200 less words ? People believe bringing back Rick will turn the program back into 1996.

Whoops definitely missed that one. ??

I'm not saying it's not going to happen, but that account is about the worst possible one to get your information from. 

He has consistently thrown out information that's not really a scoop, and when he's been more specific and wrong, he either deletes the tweet or just uses the "things changed." 

I mean with that specific tweet... Why would someone who is supposedly helping set up the press conference know when Drew is meeting with his team? Notice the several degrees of separation? That's his usual tactic.

Has it landed yet?

I agree wholeheartedly.  But I think Drew, if he's smart, will use the Kentucky offer to get more money at Baylor.  I feel like that's how he's playing this.

Expect a big pay raise for Drew.  Smart play on his part.

Not a lot of great options left, in my personal opinion. I just wonder how far down Pitino is, on his list. Maybe that would be a good route.

I’m getting your point, but who’s to say Pitino couldn’t have continued with his fantastic run while here? Lots of if’s with those situations, just personally glad we are getting a new look with a different coach as we needed very badly.

That run he had was so good it was not sustainable. Many people assume if he stayed UK wins three or four more titles under him. Which easy to think that since he left on such a high note. However, if you told people after 2012 that Cal wouldn’t win another title here, people would say you were crazy. If you said 2015 would be the last final four Cal has here after being at four in five years. No way at that time could people have imagined that would be the last one under Cal.  People would have said you were crazy. Pitino left on that high note, so easy for people to assume great things would have kept on happening. He left before things eventually would have came down hill some, since that high level of success when he left wasn’t sustainable. 
 

With that said I do agree it was probably best for both parties to have went different directions. 10 years definitely seems to be the max for a coach here.

Was a red flag when he sent his family to Lex and he stayed in Wayco with a big booster.

Rick Pitino is going to coach UK with a Louisville tattoo? What a plot twist that would be!

Apparently landed in New York, 40 minutes from where Hurley lives. With that said Pitino is also in New York. So if Hurley still says no, could make their way to Pitino.
