News flash...this just in...Rath and Butterfly despise Kennedy.

Maybe Rath and Butterfly who feel the need to post something extremely negative any time the mere mention of Bob Huggins or Andy Kennedy is made on these boards could volunteer their services to colleges and universities as part of the "don't hire AK, Huggs or anyone associated with Huggs" committee. You could tell all the horribly ignorant schools who sought fit to hire them or are considering hiring them what horrible people they both are, how they've really been abject failures at their respective schools despite their won loss records, how they generally don't deserve to be employed anywhere, belong in prison etc, etc. Heck they could pay you all for it and we'd be spared the bile we have to read every-time a post is made which mentions them.

...? I don't despise him. This is the first time, on this board, I've even said anything about the man.
He's had teams ranked in the top 25, to start the last two years. Good recruiting classes, in a crappy conference and he's still not made it to the dance.
What do you call that, if not failure? News flash!(ultra-obnoxious!!!) Just because it was affiliated with UC at one point, doesn't make it inherently good.
I just find his achievements, to be underwhelming, that's all.

Ole Miss wasn't ranked in the top 25 preseason

I can't remember the Ole Miss being ranked in the preseason, ever. I am sure it had happened though, but not recently.

Probably has something to do with AK and BH giving high fives at his last coaches show... Saying they had destroyed UC's program and laughing about it.

I didn't say "pre-season", doesn't matter though. I believe I had them confused with Mississippi St. Bulldogs, who have been ranked early, both this year and last.
That said, he's still yet to accomplish anything, save for advancing beyond the first round of the NIT. I just don't get what his appeal is. He's had one head coaching job of significance and he's done nothing with it.

*shrug*

Eh... I mean no offense to boosters, but watching coaches shows, just seems a bit obsessive. I don't really need that much detail, about these people. I'll listen to a post game interview, assuming we won.

I'm closing my eyes trying to imagine huggs and ak giving each other high fives since there is no proof of that actually happening other then the word of people who dislike both of them.

I can't imagine any UC fan who would witness what allegedly happened at the coach's show and not disliking them afterward. I guess if anyone cared enough at this stage, they could ask someone who was probably there, like Tom Gregory, or maybe Machock or Hoard.
Wouldn't call it proof, but some have said that was reason MT pulled the mike on AK after his last game coaching here.

Oh, and I apologize to anyone having a late dinner.

and then when he returns as a coach of our opponent they honor him and produce a video retrospective? If I were MT not sure I'd allow that if the hi fiving were true.

The reality is huggs did not leave as a bitter villain, it was nancy who came off as the bad guy in regards to how she handled the situation. Why would huggs have beef with the program he built?

wasn't Weber the coach that printed up a fake headline and posted it on the illinois locker room bulletin board right before an NCAA game between Illinois and UC? Seems to me that it was Weber that was involved in that. I lost any respect for him after that.

I forget the exact details, but yeah, I recall Weber making up crap about UC players saying things that was untrue. Plus, the guy is one of the biggest whiners in the NCAA. One of my least favorite coaches - I hope he never coaches again.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn his hatred of Zimpher and others associated with the University spilled over at times, just like it would most of us. At the end of the day, he's responsible for rebuilding a program into a national power and is partly responsible for many positives (facilities, conference affiliation, etc.) during his time here. For that, I will be forever grateful.

In the end who really cares? Mick has his dream job and has successfully rebuilt the program, Huggs is at the job he always really wanted and lets face it, even if zimpher hadn't run him off it was only a matter of time before he went to WVU anyway, and AK has a job in the Deep South where he can hurl racial slurs at cab drivers with no fear of repercussions. Everybody's happy.

Defend the racial slur dropping d-bag. I am sure misery loves company.

Character is what you do and say when you think nobody is watching. We were. His sucks.

Right, nobody ever mistakes, unless they have malicious intent.
Nothing homer-ish or stupid about that.
I said he hasn't accomplished anything, he hasn't.
He always ends up on the cusp, with 20-sum odd wins, only to find himself in the NIT. Usually with an 8-8 record, in the SEC.
He doesn't have the ranking, but the general point of my post, that he's done nothing special; remains solid.
Stop defending him like he's your mom. I'm not attacking him like he's Hitler.
If you think he's accomplished something, by all means, bring forth the data to support it and I'll recant.

I'm doubtful you can, but if so... I'm all ears...or eyes in this case.
