Are Kentucky fans really this stupid?

YES.

Wondering if through channels they knew or Donovan gave them an indication he would not go.

 

[MJMGator]

YES.

If he wanted to coach college ball he would’ve never left us.

These are the same dipsh1ts who said Gillespie was the better Billy hired at UK.

Agreed - he is an NBA guy.

F Kentucky, we have more natty”s than them in the last 25 years and we’re not considered a basketball school. They’re supposed to be a blue blood in college basketball, their blood is more like piss.

This is a good example of what college football and basketball has become. the names that used to be the king names in the sport do not matter anymore. Players care more about where they can get paid and know they can leave and be playing somewhere else immediately. So guys like Hurley or Drew or Few or name any other highly thought of college coach can compete anywhere.

 

[MidwestChomp]

And he has BYU basketball in the background. Oops

 

[Gator By Marriage]

Looks like they hired him. Hahahahahaha. What a disaster of a hire.

So, he’s led BYU to two tournament appearances where both times they were knocked out in the 1st round by much lower seeded opponents. Hmmmm….that sounds familiar for UK……maybe he also recruits like Coach Cal? Hmmmm…..apparently not….one 4* (a Utah kid no less) in four years….

What could go wrong? Great hire.

If he can win a 1st round game next year, it will already pay off. Plus they did it on the cheap!

No, this is more like us hiring Kerwin Bell. Pope captained one of their national championship teams.

 

[LeeForThree]

Good hire for UK. Good coach, UK guy, UK recruits itsself

 

[GatorJ]

No, this is more like us hiring Kerwin Bell. Pope captained one of their national championship teams.

Except Bell has been one of the biggest innovators of offense in his division. And ultra successful.
