Nah, he was too busy covering the staff on the recruiting trailBozich didn't catch this story for us?
Slight correction. Payne will go down as the worst P5 D1 basketball coach in history.KP will go down as the worst coaching hire in UL athletics history. Period. Hands Down.
It’s called due diligence, or, at least the appearance of it. Dot those i’s and cross those t’s. Josh can’t act emotionally like us crazed maniacs.So you have to meet with players and decide after what the entire nation has witnessed on the floor. Sound like weakness to me.
Highly doubt many players are going to diss on a coach so easy to play for. Get beat and they get the next day off.
Heird is going to fail us imo.
Good thing your opinion is so reliably wrong.So you have to meet with players and decide after what the entire nation has witnessed on the floor. Sound like weakness to me.

Right. Don't want to push the coach out of a plane without knowing that the players won't jump as well.Josh was probably wondering if players would quit immediately, etc.
So hilarious. He literally reads off their cue card and types it as his own summary on his Twitter or disposable article.Nah, he was too busy covering the staff on the recruiting trail
I ignore 97% of those takes......Good thing your opinion is so reliably wrong.
Wouldn't have mattered what JH did or how he handled it.......I don’t recall a successful AD meeting with anyone except a one-on-one with his boss. Bad form…
This is absurd. Directors (especially successful ones) meet with direct reports, sometimes indirect reports, as well as a wide variety of people (donors, conference officials, university people, even local politicians) as necessary to do the job. As mentioned above, he would meet with players to get additional information regarding the program, as well as feeling them out for if they’d stay if KP was fired. Not bad form at all. Common sense.I don’t recall a successful AD meeting with anyone except a one-on-one with his boss. Bad form…

Exactly. That dude is broken. He's probably pissed off they may be trying to fix this.Wouldn't have mattered what JH did or how he handled it.......
This too. He's just throwing his food from his high chair and smearing his pooo against the wall. You know, the usual. His daddy went on vacation but didn't come back home. Sad.You've never seen an AD that has to deal with players that have two get out of jail free cards before either.
They may go after someone who's not currently coaching. I have no insider info, just pointing out the possibility.NO TOP QUALITY COACH will leave their job now during the middle of the season. UofL will be stuck with interim coach and then it will be interesting at the end of the season.
First you get rid of the cancer then you worry about the recovery!NO TOP QUALITY COACH will leave their job now during the middle of the season. UofL will be stuck with interim coach and then it will be interesting at the end of the season.
Well I can think of one who demonstrated it over and over again.Please list all successful ADs you have followed over the years and tell us everything they did during their tenures.
Exactly. That dude is broken. He's probably pissed off they may be trying to fix this.
Again, you're generally a better poster than this. I'm hoping for a recovery...This too. He's just throwing his food from his high chair and smearing his pooo against the wall. You know, the usual. His daddy went on vacation but didn't come back home. Sad.
Unless he totally $hits the bed, U of L is not going to try to rob Payne of his buyout as they give him the boot.If there is any truth in the rumors about Davis and Payne fighting; Heird has an opportunity to terminate with cause. Tough spot for any AD, but it takes a real leader to make those challenging decisions in order to be successful.
To be accurate, your bias destroys any semblance of credibility you might have had when it comes to the AD department.Well I can think of one who demonstrated it over and over again.
Heird has no credibility, so he has to be seen as consultative. He's checking off with everyone, covering all the bases. And if he was confident as well, he wouldn't have to do any of that.
Heird's an empty suit responsible for a big decision. And he gets no mentoring from anyone inside U of L administration who knows what they're doing, Unfortunately for him, there is no one...
You mean if we changed coaches - wins might be difficult to come by?who would coach this team mid season?
opponents know to play zone and do pick and roll on offense.
a new coach would have to reteach two big concepts mid season.
January schedule is brutal.
A hiring process that makes national headlines (Petrino 2.0) isn't exactly your run-of-the-mill coaching hire.So the absolute FACT that St Tom met with the players before hiring Bobby Petrino for his second stint here … that must obviously mean that St Tom didn’t know what he was doing.
I call BULLSH!T on that take. Of course you meet with the players to discuss Kenny Payne’s future coaching the team. Absolutely 100% irresponsible not to do so.

It doesn't matter what you call him/it. Jurich was the guy who had the famous list in his pocket for all of his head coaches. And he generally did it fast and efficiently. That's not a take, it's a fact...
The admonishment was about unprompted personal attacks. I don't have to get introspective when that's not my style....To refresh your memory, Heird was your idol TJ’s top assistant for about 10 years, then left to run Villanova’s athletic department. He’s faced with a difficult situation and will be judged accordingly but to suggest that he has no credibility is patently absurd.
Rather than admonish Hop about his posting - perhaps you should do a self evaluation about the nonsense that emanates from your keyboard.
