March 25, 200719 yr Wright would MAYBE be 3rd or 4th on the list. Sounds like Barnhart is setting himself up for success though.
March 25, 200719 yr If Kentucky was smart, it would try to hire Villanova coach Jay Wright, writes MSNBC.com's Ray Glier. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17747472/
March 25, 200719 yr From February 14... I have this weird feeling the next coach will be Jamie Dixon or Jay Wright. Beat you to it. :sssh:
March 25, 200719 yr Author From February 14... Beat you to it. :sssh: You just had a warm, fuzzy feeling. I know. :sssh:
March 25, 200719 yr You just had a warm, fuzzy feeling. I know. :sssh: Semantics. :bunny: (by the way, and I like Jay, but is this really an upgrade? :irked: )
March 25, 200719 yr Semantics. :bunny: (by the way, and I like Jay, but is this really an upgrade? :irked: ) No, it's not. But he might be a perfect fit for UK's personnel next year...
March 25, 200719 yr Why would this be a good fit? He plays a similar style to Tubby Smith. A number of vocal UK fans want someone who is going to press and play at a very fast pace. Wright is not that coach. It would suprise me if Barnhart were to hire anybody that did not fit this profile.
March 25, 200719 yr Will be the next coach at UK. I really was leaning hard toward Donovan yesterday because of some info I had gotten, but I'm now going to predict that Jay Wright will be the next coach at UK. Just like everyone else has said, you heard it hear first. :sssh: So the info you got about Wright was more "legit" than your info about Billy D?
March 25, 200719 yr Semantics. :bunny: (by the way, and I like Jay, but is this really an upgrade? :irked: ) An upgrade? Absolutely not, but it would be a lateral move IMO. I think as of now Wright is actually #2 in line after Billy D.
March 25, 200719 yr I just really think it is funny that 3 of the coaches that have been mentioned to maybe replace Tubby: Izzo, Crean, and Wright were all 8 or 9 seeds this year just like us. And well remember 8 or 9 seed is not suppose to cut it, yet we have fans who wouldn't have a problem with them here.... Tubbys gone and thats all that matters.
March 25, 200719 yr Author So the info you got about Wright was more "legit" than your info about Billy D? Doesn't me saying that Wright will be the coach answer that question for you?
March 25, 200719 yr Doesn't me saying that Wright will be the coach answer that question for you? Well if you want to get technical, then yes.
March 25, 200719 yr Why would this be a good fit? He plays a similar style to Tubby Smith. A number of vocal UK fans want someone who is going to press and play at a very fast pace. Wright is not that coach. It would suprise me if Barnhart were to hire anybody that did not fit this profile. That is not true, his style is alot more open and at a faster pace...
