HC options

[508mikey]

We can, but we won't. Anyone expecting UT to break the bank on a basketball hire is hoping for an unprecedented move from our AD.

Kentucky did it

Fire Cuonzo and hire Kippy Brown as the interim HC

Buzz Peterson is still around and probably available!lol:ost-4-1090547912::sick:

 

[bnhunt]

Would you consider Illinois and UCLA better basketball jobs than UT?

I know he turned down UCLA. How does anyone turn down UCLA to stay at VCU? I would say Illinois and UT are comparable jobs.

Speaking of Kippy would have been a better hire than DD.

I agree.

 

[bnhunt]

Exactly. I'm sure Illinois and UCLA offered more or similar money. No way he leaves VCU unless he gets a really really nice contract.

I'd offer him 6 years at $2.5 million per as a start. Is that so unreasonable?

 

[cncchris33]

Kentucky did it

If you're comparing Tennessee to Kentucky in the matters of fiscal spending in basketball, then we're done here.

What's funny is that UT athletics is probably wealthier than UK, but we continue to shop at damn Wal-Mart for HCs.

Hahaha.

Jim Larranaga at Miami(Fla) would be a better catch. Throw a bank vault of money at Him because He's done a great job making the Canes into a strong program.

 

[cncchris33]

He has a 10-year deal for $1.5 million right now at VCU. And not near the responsibility or expectations of a UCLA or Illinois...or Tennessee.

I'd be okay with that hire too, but he seems a little old to me.

 

[Ducreux]

I really love the idea of pearl returning.

stranger things have happened....like kiffin to Alabama....who would have 'thunk'....

 

[AZVOLSFAN]

Smart makes $1.45 million. Offer to double it.

Also, he went to my wife's alma mater. It's a small school with a pretty great alumni network. I'll have her get in touch with some people to gauge his interest.

 

[Dave1967]

I would take Him,even If He's 64

 

[bnhunt]

He has a 10-year deal for $1.5 million right now at VCU. And not near the responsibility or expectations of a UCLA or Illinois...or Tennessee.

So if we offered him a one million dollar raise per year he wouldn't consider that? Do the VCU admin and boosters (if there are any) have incriminating photos of him sniffing coke off a hooker's back or something?

 

[cncchris33]

What's funny is that UT athletics is probably wealthier than UK, but we continue to shop at damn Wal-Mart for HCs.

It is pathetic, but like I said, we've never done it before, so I wouldn't get my hopes up for us to back up the Brinks truck to any coaches door.

I'd almost bet UCLA and Illinois offered to double his salary. He turned them down. Is Tennessee a better job than those?

Probably less expectations and similar money. Again, VCU must be blackmailing him.

 

[butchna]

Will. Never. Happen.

You got alot invested in this belief.

If Louisville can rehire Petrino, then we can hire rehire Pearl. What Petrino did at the 'Ville was a lot worse than lying about a BBQ.

 

[Shaun1985]

Lawrence Frank is a high possibility if we offer imo. The only problem is, we're a stepping stone.

Weren't for Pearl.

Under Hamilton we sure did. But I still think Serrano and Jones are solid hires. CCM was not hired by Hart.

Louisville never fired Petino
