This seems to go along with what many on this board have been saying.

Actually it goes against what many have been saying on this board.

There is no question that Mack was a good hire. Only the fans of university of Tom would question that

I dont think any UofL fans are against coach Mack. I think they are just upset that we even had an opening.

You think pitino should have been retained?

Of course he’s a good hire, you goofball....you’re just here to stir sh*t.

Why are you here. I happen to think Mack is a good hire. How is my post negative in any way ? How does it show that I am a UK fan. You just like to say blah. Its your go to word, it makes up most of your vocabulary. Quit being a mean middle school kid.

So you think zipp speaks for the entire board? Lol

Get lost troll

 

[HoptownCat93]

Is Mack better than having Rick Pitino? No

Is Mack the best fit/option for the circumstances UofL was dealt? Absolutely

I was talking to “Mr University of Tom” poster, not you. But if you are a Ky fan, if the blue slipper fits.

No the poster said most people are upset that there was an opening that sounds like he thinks pitino shouldn’t have been fired

 

[CardVille]

You think pitino should have been retained?

No, not after all the stuff that went down. He is responsible for his assistants. Couple of bad hires did him in. I think some fans are upset that he was fired, I am not one of them.

I don't know if Mack is a good hire or not...no one does, but he was certainly the best available coach on the market

What made him available? He was currently coaching a team that had just finished being seeded No. 1 in a Final Four Regional.

 

[STLNBSE]

Oh my! Did I touch a nerve? He was available because he was interested in the job. He was also available in the sense that he currently coached college basketball and had a resume as good or better than any up-and-comer. Is this a riddle?

Here we go with what? Serious question as I don't follow the basketball boards.

If it was, you failed to solve it.

 

[STLNBSE]

I'll take that as a credit to me.

 

[rockycard]

There is a coach at a blue blood school, that supposedly really wanted th job. I’m glad Alford wasn’t the hire.

 

[zipp]

TBD whether Mack was a good hire. No question why he took the job...he had four million reasons.

Based on what I saw today at the open practice, Mack has his work cut out for him...

What has ensued since my comment. Or snarky remark, if you prefer. The words "best available coach on the market" has a way of sidetracking threads around here.

While I like the hire, neither I nor anyone else knows exactly who was on the market or who was explored.
