2024 Coaching Carousel

[Its DJOver]

We should be doing everything humanly possible to add two badasses for starters.  I don't like the portal, NIL, or these super-confs/ realignment.    But this is the way it is for now.  You have to add pieces (like with did with Tyko and Omax) and fill certain spots to compete for nattys and with UCONN.

So who are you cutting?

Kentucky has fewer national titles in the last 25 years than Hurley has in the last two.  11-12 mill a year vs 8 isn't chump change, but he's at a better program and knows how to recruit in the NorthEast.   I don't see it happening.

It's not $8 million a year, it's less than $6 million at year at UCONN for current contract. Like I said it's a rumor but we will see in upcoming week.  Maybe he would like the challenge to resurrect a Kentucky program .  Maybe he is happy where he is.  No one knows, but that's some major money and at a storied program looking to get back.

We don't know yet who's staying or leaving besides Oso.

If we're adding "two badasses", someone's getting cut.

Show me a Scooper who claims he or she considered TK and OMax to be "badasses" when Shaka signed them, and I'll show you a liar.

I thought Tyler Kolek had the ceiling of the next Scott Christopherson, and I would have been happy with that. What we got surprised me.

Saw a rumor that Kentucky will make a starting offer of $11 million a year for 6 years to Hurley.  That $66 million.

He signed a new contract with UCONN in January, 2024 for 6 years for $32 million.  No knowledge of what a buyout for Hurley is. 

Would you stay or would you go?

Is this the source of the rumor?

Let me add or rephrase:

PFB's :  Potential Fking Badasses are fine as well.

Can't recall, but not that one.  It said $11 million for 6 years. Lots of them out there, don't know if it's the old, where's there's smoke there's fire thing.  But $30 million dollar difference is huge, and I presume Hurley will at least listen.  You have to. 

[Uncle Rico]

Depends on whether you already have $30K or $30 mil. 

Well, I can tell you, as an evangelical Christian, it is important to get every dollar you can and hide it in a tax shelter.  I like to buy autographed bibles and hand them out to the homeless.  Great tax write off

I tend to think people who are making $6 million aren't going to leave a situation where they are happy and successful to make a few million more.  And UConn will give him another raise soon.

[Viper]

Saw Hurley on Cowturd today. Hew is looking at UConn's opportunity to threepeat. Also said he is very active in the Portal. Does not sound like he is leaving. Question  should be What is MU doing to keep up with this guy?

yup yup. UConn is the high bar.

Well, FYI, that Twitter account is a parody/joke account

I remember the staff immediately making comparisons to Travis Diener, and I thought "they should probably tamp down expectations." Instead, Tyler came out, blew past those expectations, and lapped them once again.

If Drew turns them down, I predict that Kentucky turns into the College of Cardinals.






And chooses a Pope.

Works for me, provided that the smoke signal announcing that a pope has been chosen comes from UK burning down Rupp.

Chip and Joanna Gaines kick in something extra for him to stay?

that makes sense plus he really was happy at baylor  they have always treated him well there.  i think he really respected his players and felt he had a commitment to them as well.  and i know all of you agnostics and atheists here have difficulty understanding this, but he really is a spiritual man and he was praying over this decision.  you guys should try it sometime 

   he could very easily retire there as BIG man on campus, similar to how al retired from MU

[Uncle Rico]

Lololololololololol
