Working the phones as we speak to gather info ... Cal is still in Phoenix talking to Arkansas from what I have gathered ...

UK people are already back channeling to try and figure out who they can get ... Agents are freaking out here in Phoenix ...

The list I was given was 4 names in terms of replacement:
1. Scott Drew
2. Nate Oats
3. Sean Miller
4. Brad Underwood

Beard?

Satan?

DekalbILLfan · Apr 7, 2024

I appreciate having insiders I can just ask questions to lol. Do you have any idea what the bears r gonna do with pick 9?

Illini_1105 · Apr 7, 2024

Does Sean have the juice though? 55 years old, and got let go at AZ. Would be nice to go in a younger direction like an Oats. Is there something idk about Sean?

Kentucky should give Tom Crean a long look

He'd be outside the top 4 ...

It's UK ... The list probably won't go beyond 2 ...

What happened to Cal's huge buyout?

Nah ... Wouldn't be Oats ...

I’m probably on an island. But, I’m more than okay with that.

That was if UK decided to fire him ...

If Arkansas wants to take Cal off their hands ... They certainly would entertain helping that process ...

Based off what I've been told ...

His contract doesn’t really have a true buyout, well at least for a situation like this. UK wouldn’t have to pay him if he leaves on his own and Ark wouldn’t own them anything either. Insiders please correct me if I’m wrong.

This seems to be very real

Brad won't go to Kentucky-I have heard they would be more interested in TJ Otz than Brad

Wrightandjohnstreet · Apr 7, 2024

Chester or Geoff getting the gig?

There’s a 97% chance he doesn’t go there but if he did wind up there. The Illinois search would be the quickest search in history

Is it crazy to say I would rather have the Illinois job than the UK job? Less expectations, fanbases loves you more and is less fickle, better basketball conference too.

Illini231 · Apr 7, 2024

Otz would be the classic really good coach who is set up to fail because the fans are so underwhelmed by the hire

My understanding is that he doesn't have a buyout if he leaves on his own accord

Pay ain't gonna be that much different either ... Once we adjust Brad's contract ...

Drew wouldn’t either?
But, Otz and Oats and Beard and Sean all would though right?

Illini231 · Apr 7, 2024

I'm assuming Tang would be the guy at Baylor if Drew goes to Kentucky?

TentakilRex · Apr 7, 2024

Are you we sure Jerry Jones ain't involved with Calipari because Cal is the Mike McCarthy of basketball.
