Mack will be fired. His contract gets extended if we go on probation, so a Level 2 violation leaves the school deciding between firing him or having is contract extended.

It's a tough situation for UofL. If Mack gets level 2 violations and is fired, would they be able to get a good/great coach to come in knowing they're walking into NCAA punishments that could last years?
He can be fired for cause today and not paid another cent.The buyout is too steep.
If only losses to mid-major programs qualified contractuallyHe can be fired for cause today and not paid another cent.
This sounds like a pretty solid plan. If Mack is fired this, or a similar plan, might be the best way to go. It would leave UofL to seek the best candidate with a fresh start with the punishments in the rear view mirror.I’d call up Scotty Davenport and see if he’d lead the program through the probation with the understanding that they’d look for a permanent coach after the probation. Frankly, during that time, it is going to be imperative to have a positive force and someone who can at least offer an exciting product.

Unless there is a good/great coach willing to accept the job immediately then go ahead and pull the trigger.
Umm - false.They should leave his ass in Bowling Green today. Mike is a better coach.
He committed NCAA violations, no?If only losses to mid-major programs qualified contractually
They’d run through a wall of aloofness for him.It just went super south super fast for him.
Players not exactly playing as if they like him.
Ain’t happening. Scotty has his own thing.I’d call up Scotty Davenport and see if he’d lead the program through the probation with the understanding that they’d look for a permanent coach after the probation.

I think Scotty is just crazy enough to want this type of task (not to mention the salary). He is UofL through and through. Prior to UofL changing the Purple Lot parking scheme, we tailgated right near his crew. He loves UofL.Scotty D would be sort of crazy to get anywhere near this athletics dumpster fire except that he's close to the end of his career and obviously has strong ties to U of L.
He certainly has the type of credibility we need to get involved with an operation that doesn't have much of it at the moment...
Look that’s the misconception that nobody wants to coach here. That’s how we ended up with Mack. He was 10 years in at Xavier and thought he saw a quick path to a NC. The same thing could happen now. We need a coach who is fully invested in U of L and wants what’s best for the program not himself.This sounds like a pretty solid plan.
