February 14, 200719 yr Great point. The guy is one heck of a coach and person, but a fantastic recruiter he is not... In other words, back to square one :lol:
February 14, 200719 yr After the last 18 months I'm not sure there is much left that would overwhelm AK. Tom Creen is (again) the best guy for the job if Tubby is gone... At UC he was dealing with only one major nut job. At UK, there are thousands. On radio call in shows, the mall, the restaurants, the pizza delivery guy.......................
February 14, 200719 yr Great point. The guy is one heck of a coach and person, but a fantastic recruiter he is not...I've agreed, that recruitment of talent, is the weakest point of Coach Smith and/or staff, during his tenure at UK.
February 14, 200719 yr IF Morris stays and Patterson signs with UK I can't imagine Tubby leaving. They'd be pre-season top ten and would have the most talent he's had in a while.
February 14, 200719 yr I think he would be overwhelmed by the unrealistic expectations of the UK fan base. Is it unrealistic to expect a final four appearance every 8 years and less than 10 loses over half the time? If so color me unrealistic.
February 14, 200719 yr I have this weird feeling the next coach will be Jamie Dixon or Jay Wright.First impression of both, I like. Wright has done a solid job at 'Nova. Dixon, has Pitt on the national scene and if the situation arose, would be a good fit, IMO.
February 14, 200719 yr I've agreed, that recruitment of talent, is the weakest point of Coach Smith and/or staff, during his tenure at UK. :thumb: I also have agreed and stated this on several different threads. Recruiting is the only question that I have had with OTS and most of that imo falls on Rigot and Hansen but Tubby is the coach. As far as coaching goes he is one of the best in the country and as far as class and being a fine person there is NO better anywhere. 'IF" this is true, I would at place phone calls to the coach at Texas A&M and J. Belien at WVU along with J. Wright at Nova and possibly Dixon at Pitt. This is all just hearsay now though, I still think that Tubby will be back. JMO.
February 14, 200719 yr John Pelphrey he led South Alabama to the NCAA Tournament last year and they are leading the Sun Belt this year. I want my buddy John to be here next year.

February 14, 200719 yr hopefully OTS stays, but if not Creen or Wright would be good. Not a Donovon fan but...probably a good fit.
February 14, 200719 yr I have this weird feeling the next coach will be Jamie Dixon or Jay Wright. I'm not sure Dixon would be much different than Tubby. Wright would be my #2 after Creen...
