June 1, 200719 yr Ic Grant as the hire, but do you think Bobby Huggins wishes he hadn't jumped to WVU quite as quick as he did. Also does anyone think that John Calipari would be a good hire for Florida, i certainly do, if he can get players into memphis, he should be able to bring players into gainesville.
June 1, 200719 yr UF was NOT coming off of 2 national championships, correct? No, but they were successful in hiring a guy w/ not a lot of experience. He's also been there for most of the time and knows the system. How much experience did the guy that took over for Dean Smith have? Along the same lines the Steelers were 1 year removed from the superbowl and hired a guy w/ no head coaching experience and very little coordinating experience.

Calipari said in an Andy Katz article that he's not a candidate.

How did that work out for Guttridge? Doherty? B. Fair point but I'm not sure if you can equate college basketball and the NFL.
June 2, 200719 yr It's Grant's if he wants it. It was between him and Schyatt. To you and I this is a no brainer. But it's tough to follow what Billy did. One guess as to who he was going to call to talk about following a legend last night..........????? Shyatt is going to Orlando.
June 2, 200719 yr Funny thing also. Pitino convinced Foley to hire Billy. Billy convinced Foley to hire Grant. Pitino advised Donovan not to go to Florida.
June 2, 200719 yr Calipari said in an Andy Katz article that he's not a candidate. Is Pitino holding a press conference saying he is not a candidate for the Florida job? Is Rick Barnes?
June 2, 200719 yr Not according to Rick. He said on Dan Patrick's radio show a few months ago that he told Foley at the time that if he hired Billy he would have one of the virghtest up and coming stars in the ranks in a few years. This is the link from the day the show aired, someone else heard it too... http://www.bluegrasspreps.com/showthread.php?t=119423&highlight=dan+patrick He said on the show he called Foley or talked to him and convinced him to offer Billy and that is why...And he thought then UK should do the same thing for Pelphry or Ford (at UK) for the same reason...
June 2, 200719 yr Shyatt is going to Orlando.I know, after he didn't get offered the Florida job. I said this on the radio today around 1:50.
June 2, 200719 yr I know, after he didn't get offered the Florida job. I said this on the radio today around 1:50. You were on the radio? I guess when you've got the sources stations come calling.
