December 20, 200718 yr I see BCG as only a sympton of the real problem and I believe the cancer at UK is Mitch Barnhart! He has no tradition is his backround or understanding of expectations. He tries to just win enough to keeps the Wolves at bay. He has not put together programs that year in and year out are competing for titles in the major sports. His fund raising is terrible he continues to alienate the very people around the program that has seen the top of the mountain. If Kentucky fans are satisfied with mediocre seasons and early exits from title contention the Mitch is your man. I say fire Barnhart and hire a Kentucky person who knows what winning is all about to run things in Lexington
December 20, 200718 yr Author I agree with you. He ran off Tubby Smith. You are so wrong Barnhart would have kept Tubby forever. He is a perfect fit with Barnhart.
December 20, 200718 yr You are so wrong Barnhart would have kept Tubby forever. He is a perfect fit with Barnhart. So you dont like Tubby or Mitch?:confused:
December 20, 200718 yr Author It's been 9 GAMES. CHILL. It has been many seasons in Mens bball, Womens bball, football, baseball. Outside of the improvement to mid level success of the football team the others have had a good year or two but no real consistency or titles to speak of.

The wolves you mention are the people that have landed UK on probation at a NCAA record level...
December 20, 200718 yr I dont' know how many different ways we can analyze this same topic, but in my opinion, its still early, lots of injuries, new sheriff in town - this is what happens.
December 20, 200718 yr Author Tubby was not a great coach. a pretty good coach maybe. But not for a elite program. I don't think NC or Duke or Kansas would knock on his door.

December 20, 200718 yr Author Funny story. The wolves you mention are the people that have landed UK on probation at a NCAA record level... Name one of the old guard that has landed UK on probation. The ones that have were not from the folks who year in and year out have been called on by the University for help.
December 20, 200718 yr It has been many seasons in Mens bball, Womens bball, football, baseball. Outside of the improvement to mid level success of the football team the others have had a good year or two but no real consistency or titles to speak of. Name one school that "year in and year out" (your words) competes for national titles in all 4 sports you have listed? I say fire Barnhart and hire a Kentucky person who knows what winning is all about to run things in Lexington A Kentucky person? Who?

I don't know, there were reports of Duke being interested in him when they thought Coach K was going to the Lakers. Just from their message boards that is, so really how reliable is that

I did not mean all programs but show me one and I can name many schools who compete year in and out for titles in a program.
