What a great post.:Clap:

I stated that I'll feel that Barnhardt should give Gillispie another season. I just want Gillispie to show the respect that our program deserves with his cheap comments to the media and I'd also like to see him blame himself for losses instead of the players, that right there is completely uncalled for.

Another thing, you say UNC had bad years in the 90s, well they went through two coaches after legendary coach Dean Smith retired. Since Pitino has left Kentucky, we have went through one coach being Tubby Smith, who had a less than stellar career at Kentucky, but he was not putting banners in the rafters like we had hoped for. I'm not saying that we should fire Gillispie, I was just giving you a bit of a history lesson.

Gillispie has yet to prove to the fans that he is commited to this program as he has yet to even sign his contract.

I understand your views on Gillispies attitude he can be "contrversial" at times lol..... But as for blaming players for losses, I can only think of one time when he's hinted toward that and then he went on to say it was still his fault. Obviously he's not the best public speaker in the world, but, every time I've heard him speak he talks of how great of a tradition we have at UK and how we have the best fans in the world. Now I'm not here to defend coach your entitled to your opinion and I won't try and change, but what good does it do to bash him and talk bad about him? It obviously doesn't help the players perform as, PPAT had to publicly defend his coach. The players honestly shouldn't have to worry about their coach, but because of certain types of fans they're forced to. So imo negativity causes nothing but bad........... As for your point about Tubby and UNC honestly I have no idea about what you where trying to prove??? I guess you wanted to put me down with your "History Lesson" thing. But, Tubby had an higher winning % then any other coach in D-I and won a Nat'l championship, so I would say he had a pretty solid career.
