Euroclydon Posted April 9 Report Share Posted April 9 Looks like some of the top options saying no thanks. I wonder if the next coach wants that lifetime contract and Cal money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A sizable contingent is whining that KY may end up "settling" for Scott Drew (I'd be shocked if he took that job). What a delusional group.

I'd bring Drew from Waco to Bloomington in a pedi-cab if that's what it took. I am interested to see what happens. We have used the excuse that blue blood pressure cookers may not be as attractive as we once thought with all the big TV money rolling into the B1G and SEC. Monetarily, a good chunk of schools can hold on to their over achieving coaches with contract extensions and offer similar $$$ to proven coaching candidates. And now, without all that money flowing under the table to players, all of the sudden, things got much for competitive for UK. Can they pull in a big name or are they going to be denied by a string of candidates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oats posted on Twitter saying he's staying. Maybe having a legit shot at Bobby Hurley. Dan could stay as long as Calhoun did if he wants now. His dad is a legitimate legend in the area, he grew up in NJ, played at Seton Hall, and has coached at Wagner, Rhode Island and UConn. He's a native northeasterner and has 2 decades worth of connections in a fairly fertile recruiting territory. And now he's got the momentum of back to back national titles. Hurley would be out of his mind to leave that only to have to put up with those inbred lunatics. He's already making about $7M/year with incentives. Cal was making about $8M. A million per year ain't enough to give up a sweet setup like he has and have to put up with the Big Blue Nitwits. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH...no reason he shouldn't be one of the 2-3 highest paid coaches in the country at the moment. There's only two active coaches with multiple (non-vacated) national titles: Hurley and Bill Self. Even if you throw in Slick Rick's vacated title at Louisville, that's still only 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also heard from down here that Oats has told them no at least twice. Hurley addressed the opening with a few jokes, telling reporters he doesn't "think that's a concern" when asked about Kentucky. He added they should ask his wife, Andrea, who is also a native of New Jersey. "Oh my God, Kentucky or anywhere that's going to take her further from New Jersey," he said when asked about her reaction to a potential move. "I mean, we just went to Rhode Island, which I had to drag her to, and then to Connecticut. I got her closer. And now further? I can't afford a divorce right now, too. I just started making money." Hurley went on to give some insight into what's next for his program: "Now you're thinking in your brain, as I'm looking at the locker room, about the chance to do it three times, like a dynasty in modern times. I mean, that's what I'm thinking about." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take that program in a whole different direction than the Calimari drama. Not sure he'd leave BYU, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
