The House of Blue

Out of the two I prefer Tuberville.

I think people are expecting to hire this out of the ballpark guy that is going to come in and knock every bodies socks off like Cal did. The thing is we can't go out and get that guy. Honestly, I don't know how credible that site linked above is but I firmly expect we will hire someone on that level.

Having said that I'd be thrilled to be ranked in the top 20 like Tubberville has Tech right now compared to where we are. My guess though is even Tubberville will spurn us for Arkansas...

This site mentions two other coaches on UK's short list... Phil Fulmer and Sonny Dykes

Not sure what to make of either? I also think Cutcliffe is a lateral move but not sure why he'd leave Duke without really trying to improve on what he's built unless he just has a thing for wanting to rebuild programs. My reservation would be it's harder to do it in the SEC than the ACC.

I was never a Tubberville fan. I thought he won at Auburn because it was Auburn. I actually think he is a pretty good coach now. We could do a lot worse than him, IMO.

Re-tread U.

I think Cutcliffe would be a good hire. Yes its tougher to turn a program around in the sec than the acc. But I can guarantee you its tougher to turn Duke around than UK.

No hire will be good enough to most except, Petrino or someone that is unattainable at our level. Not sure what most were thinking was going to happen once Joker gets let go. As "they" like to say..."Nick Saban ain't walkin through that door!"

Or maybe some fans expectations are just to low! It works both ways! There is no reason UK football can't be as successful as Bball. Low expectations are what has held UK football back for decades in my opinion.

Tuberville out of the 2 but how about Andy Ludwig OC of San Diego St. U. He is an offensive wunderkind.

Hey folks, Petrino ain't coming to UK. May as well face reality. Any new coach will be either a young coordinator or a coach who has been around for awhile and is at the end of his career.
I really like the HC at Northern Ill, except for the fact he doesn't have a lot of ties to the southeast. But that's what assistant coaches are for.

Don't know. But Petrino burned a lot of bridges in the state of KY. His arrogance toward UK has not been forgotten by this administration. I know of one large money contributor who said he would cancell his luxury suite if BP was ever the coach at UK. Too much baggage and not enough loyalty to his employer.

Dont throw facts in there dosnt fit agenda. I dont think low expectations by the fans has one iota to do with uk football futility lmao. Most fans on here are dismissing two hall of fame coaches. Plus i think being in probably the worst state in the south to recruit and the lack of tradition as much bigger factors than low expectations.
