Basilio has said the same.

If he were to leave, this would make the most sense out of all the scenarios thrown out there.

A few donors don't want Blackburn and want a home run hire

Who in the world is a home run hire if not Blackburn? It sure ain't guy from Ky!

 

[Catbone]

Since game one of this season, Butch never looked relaxed to me. "I'm not going to apologize for a win" He progressively got more and more uptight and defensive until it came to a head vs Bama. It all went down hill after that azzwhippin. Then he just seemed unhappy and maybe a bit distant. I think the Hurd situation had a part in that

 

[cdr4ut]

What if Holgerson goes to Houston?

"If Holgerson went to Houston then I could see Jones in play at West Virginia. I don't think Jones will be a factor at Houston or Purdue."

- Hubbs

Why would he leave a Power 5 school?

Why would he leave a Power 5 school?

Before this year, Holgerson and WVU had a rift I understand. I don't know if exceeding expectations has repaired it.

He has no one but himself to blame for that ****.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

So... We're at the place of calling for another Saban polished turd. Not only that, possibly the most despised former TN coach in history, who screwed over the program, and had he not, would have devastated us with NCAA sanctions

Carry on

So... Butch transferred mid season?

Just read he turned down an extension from WVU.

He is the AD that was willing to pay 8 mill a year for Calipari... I like the idea of being willing to spend.

 

[Nashvegas31]

My question is why doesn't Hubbs or admin just come out and say he's not going anywhere. That means he's seriously pursuing other options

Because Butch talks down to everyone in the media. It's times like now when you need media to have your back. You attack media consistently then you better win. Now media has no reason to keep some of these things under wraps.

I'll def be watching if Holgerson or Fedora bounce. They are both at schools that can be in national stage with next to no media attention which is what he is looking for if he were to consider a move.

Yeah, idk why we would be down on the hire if it were him. Stoops is prolly the ceiling for that football program as well

 

[Nashvegas31]

To go to a power 5 school with less media and fans to rip his azz for losing to scrubs

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Would be so Tennessee for him to bring Stoops

 

[volatil]

I think that would be a huge hire.

Mitch Barnhart’s salary appears crazy, until you look at the bottom line | Lexington Herald-Leader

 

[unioncityvol]

F all of em.

Why not him? Calipari was a home run. Stoops is looking like a good hire.

Interesting that half of that list that he mentored are on our AD list. He might be a smart pick considering what he has on KY basketball. He learned from the Gillespie hire and said he had a gold mine that needed a top coach and got Calipari. He might realize that at a place like Tn too

 

[butchna]

Still prefer Blackburn but Barnhart IS a homerun hire...by textbook definition.

 

[BruinVol]

Heck yea it is.

The specific name I heard was Jurich. That's a grand slam.

 

[BruinVol]

Agreed.

Jurich slightly better

 

[Bruce Wayne]

If you told this board that our new AD was going to come in and spend 11.5 million a year on our football and basketball coaches, I think the board would be excited by the possibilities.

He's my 1b candidate

 

[Catbone]

Let's just be done with it and throw the bank at Derek Mason

 

[butchna]

Agreed.

Jurich slightly better

I'll match your agreed.

 

[The Breakerboy]

Would be so Tennessee for him to obliterate us..

Dooley smashed him at Tennessee. Anybody else will clobber that idiot Jones as well. 😎😎😎😎
