Coaching Carousel (Basketball)

After Shaka's experience at Texas, my guess is he's just fine at Marquette. I'm sure he still has flashbacks to his time at Texas and they aren't fond. Maybe he doesn't make as much money at Marquette as he would at Kentucky, but I'm sure his level of stress and quality of life will be exponentially better staying in Milwaukee.

I don't understand why these accounts do that. I mean, I do....they want clicks. But there's literally no humor in that post and people are going to run with it b/c it looks legit. I don't get it.

I'm not suggesting he should be the coach at Kentucky. I'm just rethinking my initial response to him as a candidate. There are better fits for both him and Kentucky. If they got halfway down their list and settled on Smart, I think it would work out okay.

If he were Miller's age I think he'd be the clear choice. The more I think about it, the more I think Shaka Smart would do well there.

Chuck Nuggets said:

I'm putting my money on Sean Miller. Drew feels like a Bayor lifer. Donovan doesn't seem like a guy who wants to go back to college. Oats is building his own thing at Bama and has already put out a pretty definitive statement. Miller makes the most sense.

McCaffrey is looking to leave Iowa and Kentucky is looking so I think this is a perfect match. Move the FranCon to Lexington. And Patrick can portal there as well

Well there will have to be some belt-tightening around the Calipari household. Cut those coupons. Personally, I'd love to be in a position to take a $1.5 mil cut. I'd even tolerate people yelling Sooooeeeeee Pig at me for the $7 mil.

And how did they keep it so under wraps? /s

I'm very confident Brad Underwood isn't going anywhere. I have no sources.

Kansas State tried once ... Couldn't get it done ...

Facilities are not better ... NIL is not better ... Salary is not better ... They don't have Josh ...

Personally - I'd be more worried about Baylor going after Brad than K State ...

I have heard Drew wants to take the job ... He already used the Louisville job to get more NIL and get his staff raises ...

The family (especially his wife) definitely would prefer he stay at Baylor ... They do not want to move ...

Baylor wants the Tech coach and will get him most likely

His buyout is worse than Tang's ...

But I've heard the same ... Grant, Tang, Brad, and AB3 ...

Which makes Fighter Of The Nightman's campaign to catch up to Purdue all the more interesting. From his signature:

Not that Lexington is a bustling metropolis, but I'd do anything to get out of Waco. I can't stand that place.

Probably because I firmly believe shiplap doesn't belong on every wall.
