I am totally shocked to come here. I heard about it at work today. I heard about it on the SEC boards. I come here, HERE, of all places, and NO ONE has heard?
Tubby's out.
Word from inside the athletic department is his contract is going to be bought out. On Nashville radio, it was being reported that he is all but gone, and that apparently, Tom Izzo is a leading candidate. I'm not certain how much credence we can lend to Izzo, but there it is Big Blue fans. I already know, many won't believe til it's officially announced or whatever, but its happening.

Just a small note. I said that his contract would be bought out at around 6:45.

Word from inside the athletic department to me was that it IS happening. What you heard on the radio was their way of saying that short of another title, they're going ahead w/it.

Also, i don't want Tom Izzo to be the frontrunner. Let's go after a few others first. First, let's contact Billy Donovan.

All "official" reports by UK is that the rumors are unfounded. Why would UK want to say it was true anyway until after the season? Does absolutely no good for the program to make that statement now.

IF true: and I don't want Izzo, his style is as boring as Tubby's.

This isn't a claim. I was told firsthand by someone inside the athletic department. I already know how ya'll are, and expect only a few to believe it. Frankly, I don't care if you believe me or not. I'm telling ya how it is, listen or don't. Don't waste my time posting me telling me what I do and don't know. Leave it or love it.

My point is that its suicide for UK to report such things now until after the season...why say it now?

I was responding to deadeye's post, not your's Sparks. I agree w/what you said, which is why it hasn't been made official. So until they decide to say it's true, just like w/the Sean Finney re-hire (which many of you hard-heads also refused to listen too) it was merely "rumor" until UK was good and ready to announce it.
Izzo is a good coach, but I don't want him either.

And why don't we have Kentucky level talent? Tubby's failure to recruit. And also, he is not going to take us to the final 4. We couldn't get into the final 4 of the SEC tournament.
