You know Barnhart, no way he lets Tubby go with that fat contract. I best bet would be some dumb NBA team picks him .

I wonder how much hell their will be to pay if UK were to fire it's only black head coach (especially when he has a national title)? The media would take the university to the wood shed over this.

Stagger, you hit the nail right on the head with the racial overtone and then the fact that Kentucky can just not afford to buy out Tubby's contract thru 2011. It will need to be Tubby pulling the plug and not the University.

I agree golf, there's no way UK fires Tubby. The only way UK can unolad him is if there is substantial NCAA violations.

Miss Kitty, not even I would want to get rid of Tubby that way and I really think that is one thing that Tubby will always do. - run a clean Program. IMO, our only hope is for Tubby to get more fed up with the call for his leaving than the $$$$$$$$$$s are worth to him in staying.

:-Xtubby may not be fired but he should be. I've been a big blue fan for many years and i don't want to see the program go all the down before some type of move is made. I was against him being hired in the first place,and i am black. he didn't prove anything at georgia and its been more of the same at kentucky.

LOL I hope I didn't come across as hoping for NCAA Violations. I just remember reading in his contract that he could be let go if that happened. Of course I'd never wish something like that on our program. Tubby is a stubborn man, I don't think the fans will make any difference in whether he stays or goes.

When Tubby was at Georgia, I seem to remember hearing during a game that GG had to ask Tubby to lighten up on the team and let them play. The announcers made a statement that Tubby was so hard on the team that they didn't know what to do and not do, so they had GG to ask him to lighten up on them.

the tubster will be here awhile my friends getting rich and smiling on tv while we are butting our heads against the wall and breaking our tv's because of the way the cats are playing....2 back to back losing record seasons and the heat might be to much for the tubster...and he might just cash out and head to the NBA.

Does anyone think that a NBA owner is going to pay Tubby more money than he gets at UK to coach their francise in boring basketball? Anyone who thinks that is high on something other than life.
In order to get rid of Tubby, there has to be a scandal or hire a new AD combo coach like a Pat Riley. Riley has the administrative and coaching abilities to handle both jobs.

Tubby will never coach in the NBA. After UK gets done paying him, he'll never have to work again. Besides, any NBA team that averaged 50 or 60 points a game wouldn't go too far... LOL

If UK continues to fade and Tubby stays, it will show how much intergrity HE LACKS.
Our only hope is Barnie getting fired, than Tubby or enough pressure from the fans and the next AD to make Smith take the next offer he gets.
It will be a welcome day when he leaves UK. Only 5 more seasons. Hopefully UNC won't catch us by then but you never know.
