cal is not coaching UK anymore, pope is a different person and pretty sure the pattern of losses will continue for us. i had hope before TN we could hang w uk, now don;t think so at all.
That was my biggest concern with Calimari leaving. Kitties back to focusing on the tradition and not the NBA. We need to do the same but hard to do when all you have is 5th year transfers. Just have to win...
I don't understand hires this - and this is nothing against you. This is a reasonable stance.
I didn’t read after the excitement comment. When has excitement ever done anything except make you piss?
If you didn't read past excitement, then you didn't get the point of my post.
If ya don’t spend , ya don’t win. TJ never let doubter’s stop him. Plus Dixon was 1 of many suggested. Not all have his contract.
Dixon is also the poster child for mediocrity. If you want to go 20-12, hope for .500 in conference and get bounced in the first round as an 8 seed every year, he's your guy. You'll never win your conference or have a shot at a title, but he'll win you 20 games! All for the low-low price of $4-$5 million a year!
They would this year. Then kinda pissed after next year. Then, ready to run him out of town after year 3 with no tournament wins, no conference titles, and 35+ losses in 3 years. So now you've got a coach nobody believes in with $10+ million left on his contract and a program only slightly better off in perception and much worse financially.
Do you think we have a coach right now anyone believes in? I like PK and am willing to give him his due time but we have a young inexperienced AD at the helm.
Next you will be blaming the AD's secretary.... We are two games into Kelsey's first year.
Yeah I do.
Just read first sentence. You much not have much of an ear then. Doubter’s out in droves.
That's their prerogative. It's up to Kelsey to change their mind. Their doubt doesn't make hiring someone like Dixon a better option. All it does is move the anger and frustration down the road and ultimately cost more money. If they're short sided enough that they've already given up on PK then they would certainly be ready to kick Dixon to the curb after two 20-13 seasons with no tournament wins. The only difference is the Yum would be half full and we'd owe Dixon $15 million bucks.
I’m not making eyes at anybody 🤡. The hire has been over for months. I have season tickets do you?
It’s called bargain shopping. I would think of all people you would understand that? Our wet behind the ears AD wants to make a splash as someone who saved us millions and made the home run hire. Who knows? He may have but stop acting like we are broke. Tom Jurich would have a gotten a winner into the 2nd largest, 1st nicest arena playing in a premier league school.
What would you know about any of that? I find it comical when common people get on here and act like they know something about something because they tailgate at a football game 😂
There was no home run hire.
You don’t know what you’re talking about. There were multitudes of choices out there for Heird but he panicked because of what Payne did to the program. Nobody said anything about getting Bill Self caliber coaches but there are a lot of good solid coaches he could have got here. Y’all just don’t know anything about basketball…probably didn’t even play organized basketball. I’m not going to go down the list of available coaches because it doesn’t matter now. Anyway I’m cool with Pat Kelsey…he might be the next great coach who tf knows…surely not you.
Ok. Go ahead and list those candidates. Please give me 5 names that UofL could have realistically hired. Keep in mind that we can easily find the salaries and contract information of every coach you mention. So, if you bring up someone like Mick Cronin, we're going to laugh and point at his $5+ million salary and crazy buyout numbers.
Yes Cronin would have been one but again you crybabies didn’t like him because he’s mean and didn’t excite you. The majority of the Louisville fanbase is akin to teenage school girls crossing their legs to avoid peeing themselves. I not wasting time naming guys Heird didn’t target as if they weren’t available. Tom Jurich wanted somebody, he went and got them and worried about money later. Our first problem is a GQ skinny jeans wearing political AD who’s only feather so far JB I could have talked into coming to Louisville. I’m not a Heird hater but he’s a far cry from TJ.
