Hot on several boards is that Tubby has told Mitch this is likely his swansong. Speculation is Brown to Olympic team and Tub to 76'ers. I have felt this would be his last year for after the flirtation with the Nuggets this summer. $64,000 question, will he go out with a bang or sitting on the bench with his eyes bulging? Should be interesting.
Brey, Snyder, riley mentioned as possible candidates.

It's possible and I can't say I blame him if it's true. I know this topic surfaces every single year but I just 'feel' something about all this. 1. He's almost constantly ragged by the media and many fans 2. Brian is a senior and if he wants to coach him, it'll be easier somewhere else (if he stays in collegiate coaching) 3. I think Donna has had enough as well Time will tell.  |

I am beginning to think that this is Tubby's last year..It kills me to say that too...But all the grief he has to put up with from the fans and media I can't say as I blame him..It is ridiculous!

I can't say I feel really bad about the Tub's state of affairs now. He has made what 8 million dollars in the last 5 years, has parleyed his great early success at UK into great contacts with the pros which will lead to his next position, and has a championship ring.
He has taken no more grief than Hall or Sutton imo just with the internet things are now more visible. He was an assistant here for several years and should have known what he was getting into, but I forget it has taken him 5 years to figure out what his job consists of. Good guy, bad fit at UK. He is responsible for the bed he has made, he's now sleeping in it.
Life will get better at UK after we get over a couple of so-so recruiting classes. ;D

I partially agree with you Spam about there not being too many hot shot coach's out there. WHAT I am afraid of though is that Barnhart made an butt out of himself TRYING to hire a football coach, so what makes us believe he will do better IF Tubby doe;'s in fact leave UK? That scenerio scares the hell out of me.

EXACTLY busted! and ohio are you on CRACK??? That now makes the most illogical comment I've ever seen on a board. Nothing could be worse? Um in case you havent been breathing the last 6 years things could be much much worse and in joining busted's and spam's concern, we might yet to experience what REAL problems are. I'm on the cautious wagon to know that things are that great but also very skeptical that things can get better with someone else and actually fear things could be worse. Just a second place finish in the SEC East is all it would take from another coach for things to be "worse" you get the point yet? be happy with what you have because our guy MB didnt prove he's the man at hiring people just yet. Its just not the right time my friends. I'm going to sing the same song as long as I can.

Well said, Grant. Can't get worse from here?? Though going to the Sweet 16 almost every year may not be a championship, it still puts us in the TOP 16 IN THE NATION almost every year!!! Anyone who thinks it can't get any worse loses all credibility in my book.
Sure, it could get better. But then, almost any team in the nation besides Duke could be saying that right now. At least some of these ridiculous statements bring some humor to the board, if unintended.

Tubby is proving what some knew all along and that is he is a great coach that loves uk plus has them rated #2 in the country. Cats are feared. Hopefully Tubby will be around for several more exciting years and i believe he will.
