2024 Coaching Carousel

As Sean's friend, you think he would encourage Sean to go to UK even though he wasn't getting along with the AD or the fanbase?

100%. College coaches are a unique bunch. It wouldn’t surprise me at all. Hopefully UK can hire someone higher on their list before it gets to Miller.

That makes zero sense. Do you not know what happened there? Nil dried up, fans were crazy psycho to cal at the end, and cal and the ad weren't even speaking to each other. You really think cal would say to Sean hey friend go coach at uk, it was a shit experience at the end go have fun?

NIL dried up? Seriously? Cal was bringing in Top 5 classes year in and year out. Including the 2024 class. McDonaldÂ’s All Americans wouldnÂ’t be going to Kentucky without NIL. That makes zero sense. The problem with Cal is that he canÂ’t coach. Had all the talent in the world but couldnÂ’t coach a lick to maximize the talent. ThatÂ’s why the fans turned on him. It was such a crap experience for him even though he coached there for over a decade, got paid crazy money, being able to recruit the best of the best, and having top facilities? So could I see him encouraging Miller to take the job like he did for the Arizona job. Yes!

Look it’s hard to believe anything that comes out of cal’s mouth but he mentioned it in the press conference at ark. I do have buddies that are pretty well connected people at uk and money was being withheld, and he was guaranteed very little going forward. Do you think he just decided to go to ark on a whim? And btw Kentucky’s facilities are shit. You been to rupp lately or any of the practice facilities/weight rooms etc?

A friend/mentor is not going to tell his mentee to go work for the place that turned their back on him and Sean isn’t going to do that to a buddy/mentor. That’s ridiculous.

Believe whatever you want, you’re just very off on this.

Money being withheld yet his entire recruiting class stayed intact until he left Kentucky. Doesn’t add up. You believe what you want to though.

Oh hey McDonald all American… there may not be any money for you. Wanna still come to Kentucky?

Regardless, not even the heart of the matter which is that cal is not going to tell miller to go there, it makes zero sense.

Did a little snooping on a UK fan forum today. Sean’s name came up in a bunch of threads related to the coaching search and the responses were about 90% negative. Why would anyone want to go somewhere like that when the entire fan base is against you?

Exactly. Why would they all have still been committed if the “money” had been withheld? Doesn’t make sense.

I am curious who there fan base thinks they will get that will be an upgrade to Callipari? Oats said no, Drew has said no, Hurley has indicated not to be interested.

You know there have been a whole lot of smoke about guys not getting the dollars they were promised, right?

In most states, guys can’t start getting this money until they are enrolled.
