August 12, 200917 yr Very true, that's probably the only one. But at UK you have to deal with the "spotlight." I'd say for some it's not worth it. Didn't see this before I posted. Some don't want that spotlight or have to deal with it. :thumb:
August 12, 200917 yr Bingo. He'll never be #1 at Florida, or probably any other SEC school for that matter. Absolutely!! How in the world could Donovan ever think about being #1 or winning a national championship at an SEC school?:laugh:

August 12, 200917 yr Absolutely!! How in the world could Donovan ever think about being #1 or winning a national championship at an SEC school?:laugh: I think you've missed the point. Donovan could never be #1 at Florida because Urban Meyer is #1. Football will always trump basketball down there. An open practice in the swamp would likely outdraw a UF basketball game.
August 12, 200917 yr Let me first say that I would be surprised if Rick Pitino coached more than two more years at UofL. That would be the case even if this whole Syhper scandal wasn't ongoing. I've said for a while that I thought he would coach one year in the new arena and then be done. That said, I will be very surprised if the scandal is the reason he leaves UofL... I echo these sentiments, especially the last sentence.
August 12, 200917 yr I'm going with the huge conspiracy theory that Pitino knew he was going down and he communicated this to Billy Donovan. Donovan to Louisville... That would be so funny, for so many reasons. :lol:
August 12, 200917 yr UK can be the best job to have, or the worst job to have. Ask BCG, I think he would agree with that statement.
August 12, 200917 yr I think it would be hilarious if Donovan went to Louisville, but I don't see it happening. He would become the most hated person in college basketball by UK fans...if he isn't already :lol:. Nah, we have Calipari now, all that's over. Plus, Donovan sucks now.
August 12, 200917 yr Top 5 1. Coach Cal - Recruiter 2. Billy D. - Good Coach and recruiter 3. Reggie Theus - good recruiter and up and comer 4. Bob Huggins - wins no matter where he goes 5. Izzo - He is a winner
August 12, 200917 yr I can't wait to see what signs fans make for U of L road games. I'm sure I'll get a few chuckles.
August 12, 200917 yr Absolutely!! How in the world could Donovan ever think about being #1 or winning a national championship at an SEC school?:laugh: I think you totally missed the point there.
August 12, 200917 yr That would be so funny, for so many reasons. :lol: Because he turned down UK?:idunno: I think we all can agree that UK came out on top with that one. Unless you think it'd be funny to see UL get owned by Coach Cal and company:thumb:
August 12, 200917 yr Um, Ralph Willard is there for a reason. He holds the job for about three years, then is evaluated from there. I've always been impressed with Willard's coaching. The only question for me is whether or not he could bring in the necessary talent, especially in the Big East. I'm not well versed on Willard's recruiting ability, so maybe that won't be a problem. If not, it would make sense to let him step into Pitino's slot. Unless they could land a guy like Donovan with a big name. However, if they aren't certain they can get someone, I think it would damage Willard's status to go on a coaching search only to settle for the assistant that was already there. Not exactly a vote of confidence for him.
