You honestly would want another coach? Think about how hard winning a national championship is. We have been playing basketball at Kentucky since they used peach baskets and we have 8 titles to our name and Cal has one and always has us in the hunt. I agree when we play a superior coach we normally come out with a shorter stick but look at Coach K. Has potentially 1,2,3 in the draft at one point and doesn’t even make the final four. Do you think he should be fired? He hasn’t made the final four in how many years and look at the talent he’s had.

I totally agree! I remember all too well the Billy G years. Happy UK did this because from a business sense, fan base, and athletic standpoint it all makes perfect sense. UK basketball rakes in probably more than all the programs combined (uneducated opinion), us as a fan base has a competitive team almost every year excluding one(even tho we may not like the outcome), and the athletes have more chance to better themselves by getting paid for their talents quicker than 95% of universities out there. I’ll never forget the excitement I felt when that Jet landed at bluegrass airport because I knew we had landed a coach that could handle our program and still feel more prouder than ever you are still that guy. Kentucky has too many 9 million dollar coaches sitting on the couch with their opinions on what is best. I don’t claim to be one of these and never will; even though I’m just as passionate/critical as the next. I didn’t choose that profession and 99% of UK fans didn’t either because the success rate to go through the ranks and to get to a program like ours is almost impossible. That is why most of the ungrateful fans will get up in the morning and go to their regular jobs while thinking they know the pressures that come with the job. I applaud you coach and got that same feeling today when I heard the news as I did when I seen the jet land. Keep fighting and keep doing your thing. We’ll get one again and then all UK fans will tip their hat in respect!!!! Go Cats
