Bad team or not, always fun to beat those guys.

BTW, Ollie has signed 2 5-stars and 6 4-stars over the past 4 recruiting classes - if we need another reminder that recruiting is not enough. (rich man's Josh Pastner ?)

If Tubby's seat is hot, NCAA Champ Ollie's seat is ablaze.

Yes and I think 2 of them were sitting on the bench the other night. One was medical, don't know about the other player.

True. They still had a 5-star and a 4-star out there, surrounded by 3-stars. On paper, much better talent.

Nobody has made a big deal about us beating up on UCONN because this fan base is not dumb. We know when something is smoke and mirrors

What are you talking about? We suffered 3 historic beatdowns in the past year. Rightfully so, there was much consternation and constipation as a result. So it's only fair to point out that we delivered a historic beatdown to UConn. Not sure what you're disagreeing about.

Ridiculous.

He won a NC in 2014, people.

However, I believe that Ollie's championship was based on the work that Calhoun had done, similar to how Tubby's was based on the work done by Pitino. Now that the program is fully in Ollie's hands, it has dropped off, much like Kentucky did.

Fact but it took Kentucky like 9 years to pull the trigger on Tubby.

Not disagreeing with what you are saying just the OP's exaggeration.

Ollie's seat is barely lukewarm, probably more like room temperature.

If you think that, you are lacking in discernment. He may or may not get fired. Lots of smoke out there, but his buyout is huge. Undoubtedly though, his seat is hot.

Google and see all the results you get. There's one headline that actually says "Kevin Ollie is on the hot seat after blowout loss to Memphis".

Tubby coached them and started Saul.

LOL.

Most Kentucky fans were absolutely livid and wanted Tubby gone years before he was let go.

Sound familiar?

Yep, reminds me off Josh in that way. I didn't pay much attention to KY back then (or now). I'm sure they wanted him gone though. Coaches get fired all the time. Almost 100% deservedly. I have a hard time thinking of too many raw deals. When it's time to go, it's time to go.

Tick tock.

Tick tock.

For every coach. I don't wring my hands over any of them.

Where is our coach hiring barometer trending about now?

Think we could hire a Billy Donovan or a Tony Barbee?

A couple of people around here would very leery of the latter.

Seems one ole boa got stared down at Newby's while the other got choked out by an Ole Miss fan.

No idea on the two questions in your post. Sorry.

The part that isn't a question, really no idea.
