  1. I love a good quantity vs. quality debate.
  2. Ditka was a HOF player. He also came from an era where he didn't make obscene money and players got jobs after they retired. So you still had to be driven because there was no fallback. Coaching was his job.
  3. Let's say CU goes 6-6 this year, do Buff fans feel good about that? I mean, sure an improvement, but then Shadeur leaves and Prime probably tries to leave and the program is no better than it was when he got it. Even if Prime stays, Shadeur is pretty much the whole team. He's not building anything long term at all.
  4. When Cal had been a coach for 8 years, he'd been to a Sweet 16, an Elite 8 and a Final 4 and had 5 conference titles. By the time he was 51, he'd won 28 tournament games, 2 S16, 3 Elite 8, 1 FF, 1 Runner up and had 11 conference titles. Only counting regular season. In 9 years, at age 51, Pope has 0 tournament wins. He's been twice and both times got upset in the first round by an 11 seed. Clearly Cal is 65 now, and who knows what he has in the tank. But UK fans woke up yesterday thinking they'd landed Scott Drew. Then thinking they'd money whip Danny Hurley. Then figured they'd just have to settle for Billy Donovan. Instead they got a guy who isn't really that young and has never won anything. But UK fans are thrilled Cal is gone. Definitely better off this week than they were last week.
  5. Feel like Pearl is the floor here, and would be a pretty damn good hire. But they would melt.
  6. Donovan sounded interested but no way they can wait on him. They need someone in place in the next few days, not in weeks.
