Reported over the radio during the A&M baseball game:
"Dave South just read a release from Alan Cannon, indicating that at 7 pm, Mitch Barnhardt contacted Byrne and asked for permission to speak to Billy Gillispie. Byrne granted his request."

He will not turn it down and is the best fit for the position IMO.

I just watched several clips on You Tube of Gillispie doing post game interviews and I don't think he's the man for the job.

He's a great coach but his ego is not big enough for the UK job.

UK needs a guy that when he is named everyone will be blown away and say, "wow never saw that coming".

Gillispie will be gone after 5 seasons if he gets the nod from Barnhart.

I agree with you on that based on who the remaining Candidates were.

Not a Gillespie fan personally....

Look up the champions since 1987 (the year the 3 point line was put in)... you'll see if you dont average atleast 79 a game, your probably not going to win a championship....

Look up his committments since he took the job...

http://tamu.rivals.com/commitlist.asp?sp...&year=2006

solid, nothing special...

He's been to one sweet 16.... he did a heck of a job at TAMU and UTEP, but is he the man for UK? Barnhardt better hope he is... immediately....
