March 27, 200917 yr You think they aren't trying? What makes Ford a jerk? I've met him before and he was very nice to me. I don't want Ford to bet he next coach but if he is I hope for nothing but the best. I played against Travis in high school and he wasn't a jerk then, but that was a long time ago I havn't spoke with him since. I think he would be a good coach if all of the big names turn the job down.
March 27, 200917 yr Author What about Rick Barnes from Texas? Another one who said no, two years ago.
March 27, 200917 yr Even though they have already said they aren't interested, I will still add Donovan and Calipari. But here is my wish list. 1. John Calipari :puke: 2. Billy Donovan :deadhorse: not going to happen unless Mitch can pull off a Jedi Mind Trick. 3. Lorenzo Romar :confused: the Huskie Coach? 4. Tom Izzo More Tubby Ball but at a slower pace 5. Mike Anderson Interesting but Mizzou job isn't any bigger than A&M 6. Chris Lowery Too big a jump for him 7. Scott Drew Too big a jump for him 8. Travis Ford :ohbrother: not ready yet 9. Jim Christian Too big a jump for him 10. Bob Huggins :puke::eek::ohbrother::irked::madman:
March 27, 200917 yr Mark Few Jay Wright Holland from UCLA I'll have to think a while to get the rest of my list, but those are the first three to come to mind. maybe... Pitino Knight....Bob not Pat
March 28, 200917 yr Even with this circus and not having a clear understanding of what is going to or has happened, I honestly feel that Kentucky will land a big name coach that will please everyone. I have no idea who the new coach will be, but I have this feeling it won't be Ford. I could, and might be, completely wrong, but I just don't see it happening.
March 28, 200917 yr I did over look Jay Wright, but why so confused on Romar?Romar is one of many good young coaches out there. I just don't see him ready to take on a program this size. He has done pretty well, but I would bet Mitch couldn't even spell his name let alone have him on a list. Romars record at Washington.... 2002-2003 Washington 10-17 9th 2003-2004 Washington 19-12 2nd NCAA Tournament 2004-2005 Washington 29-6 2nd NCAA Sweet 16 2005-2006 Washington 26-7 2nd NCAA Sweet 16 2006-2007 Washington 19-13 7th - 2007-2008 Washington 16-17 8th - Would have been fired at UK after 07 maybe but definitely after 08
March 28, 200917 yr I may not agree with who they hire, but I will support UK basketball through and through.
March 28, 200917 yr I would rather have Ford, and I'm not endorsing Ford at all. He has won the SEC west 4 out of the last 7 years....that's better than Ford.
March 28, 200917 yr I got it ! :taz: Everyone wants to go back to the Pitino days. If my memory serves me correct he came from the NY Knicks. Well lets try that again, Mike D'Antoni next Kentucky coach !!! :thumb:
March 28, 200917 yr Why root for another team? I'll root for Kentucky no matter what. I don't hop on and off the bandwagon at the slightest bump in the road. I agree... though I thought about being a louisville fan after we lost to the bulldogs.
March 28, 200917 yr He has won the SEC west 4 out of the last 7 years....that's better than Ford. :thumb:
