How much money is Kentucky going to have to throw at their chosen candidate? And even with that, why would the likes of Donovan, Izzo, Jay Wright, Mark Few, John Calipari, etc. step into this pressure cooker after seeing what occurred with the last two coaches and evaluating their own situation, where they are millionaires, beloved, and life is rolling along pretty good?
I wonder if jobs like Alabama football and Kentucky basketball are evolving into 'untouchable jobs' but in a negative way. Combine the rabid immediacy of today's media with the fact that you don't have to go to one of the traditional powers anymore to carve out a great living, program, etc. and who does the job appeal to? Nick Saban, Billy Gillispie. . .not exactly your ambassador of the program types, no matter how great a coaches they may be. I have a feeling this coaching search for Kentucky will be fascinating (without any worries about our coach being mentioned in the proceedings
