Everything about that interview makes me even more confident that I AM SO GLAD HE IS GONE. he is completely and utterly in denial that he ever did anything wrong at UK. He avoids every question that is asked of him in interviews, and denied that he was even on the hot seat. what a joke......I actually just lost a lot of respect for him. GOOD RIDDANCE Tubby.

maybe just maybe Tubby ignored those questions to not make uk the university or fan base look like complete idiots for letting one of the top 5 coaches in america leave... not to mention anytime the reporters tryed to dig at him to say something bad about the fans or university he didnt he was a class act in the interview as he was all through his career here aside from being a pretty d%^$ good coach...o and by the way hes not our coach anymore so why is there still a need to bash him , it sounds as though you were happy to see him go so what are you still upset about.....and if Tubby did want to avoid questions or say something bad about uk i think he had every right... Tubby smith doesnt owe uk anything and its fans like you that are the reason for that

Maybe you are having trouble reading this morning, but if you see my post you will see that yes, i am glad he's gone and the interview made me even more sure about that. And if you think he is one of the top 5 coaches in America, then something is seriously wrong with you. All i wanted to hear from him is to simply admit that he hadnt gotten the job done the last few years and it was time to move on both for him and program. Why don't you accumulate more than 3 posts before popping off at someone who was simply stating his opinion.

Thankyou. well you go ahead let me know what good comes from it Newsflash buddy, a majority of the people on this board have been wanting him gone for years.....therefore, now that he is gone, most of us are excited and want to talk about the situation.....so don't come on here and try to act like an administrator and tell us what we can and cannot talk about. Give it up.

Nothing really. It was typical Tubby. He avoided every major question, said he was very confident he would be back next year as coach if he had not left (which we all know is BS), he spent about 5 minutes listing off how well he did at UK including 3 elite eights, one national championship, etc. he said the main reason he left UK was he needed a challege (very ironic because it was a huge CHALLENGE for him just to compete in the SEC at UK the last few years). Honestly, the whole thing was terrible and was uneventful. he said nothing of substance.

My take was very different. It seemed to me that he was very gracious. He could have taken shots at the fans but didn't. He never once said anything that would lend it'self to discrediting the fan base. Tubby may not have admitted what was obvious to some, but he also didn't try to make UK or the fans look bad either. Classy IMO.

I agree he didn't take shots at the fans, but he also didn't take any responsibility for the fact that he left a program in much worse shape than what he inherited. He also basically denied anything to do with the fact that he was likely going to get fired soon if he didnt straighten up the program. Also I find it very ironic that he needed a challenge, because it appeared to be a big enough challenge for him at UK to simply compete on a national level the last few years. As someone said on another board, it was the same junk we have been hearing for a decade from him - no substance whatsoever.

I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT Tubby IS A CLASSY INDIVIDUAL. HE IS A VERY GOOD COACH AND IS GREAT AT MAKING IN GAME ADJUSTMENTS. HIS ONE MAJOR FLAW WAS IN RECRUITING......OBVIOUSLY! NOW THAT HE IS GONE WE CAN MOVE FORWARD, AND TRY TO GET THE PROGRAM BACK TO THE ELITE STATUS WE ONCE WERE.

At Tulsa (4 years) won with someone else's players, at Georgia (2 years) won with someone else's players, oh and kentucky (10 Years) well if you don't know the story........ like being on this WEBSITE longer than me makes you anymore of a fan or more right on the subject than me all im saying is that its funny that everyone just wanted Tubby gone, well hes gone so why talk crap about him, he did what you obviously wanted so why does Tubby owe your type of fan anything. i wish Tubby the best an all i can say is i hope we can move on and find a good coach im not trying to start a war here theres no point...i understand and respect your opinion but bashing Tubby does nothing for anyone now Tubby is gone but all im saying is that just stop with the Tubby bashing its over ...if anything can come from this its that Tubby did do one thing by leaving that i dont think anyone can deny and thats reunite a fanbase thats been seperated for a long time so all i can hope is that we can move on and find a a good coach
