Billy Gillispie fired. Hilarity ensues.

Re: Billy Gillispie fired?

I hope he is fired. I hope Donovan says hell no. I hope Anthony Grant goes to Alabama -- and I hope that Kentucky is forced to some sort of plan F candidate who turns into the Gerry Faust of Kentucky hoops and five years from now the Wildcats are reduced to celebrating their first trip back to the postseason in half decade -- and it is in the CNBCCNN14 tournament or whatever the fuck that is.

Fuck Kentucky. Fuck any fan base this arrogant.

Some reports have UK's Plan B as Travis Ford.

If that's the case, I can't even imagine how bad Plan F would be.

 

Re: Billy Gillispie fired?

That would be 3 jobs in 3 years for Ford...

Tubby?

Suddenly his era seems on par with that of Adolph Rupp.......

 

Re: Billy Gillispie fired?

Gillispie is just on furlough.

[blue]Those UK fans are patient people, aren't they?

 

Re: Billy Gillispie fired?

Even in hyperbole that's too much.

Regardless of what comes from this point forward, you will never convince me that getting rid of Tubby was a bad move. Short-term you could say the program is worse off. But that man lost the locker room EVERY YEAR by forcing run-and-gun players into a half-court offense. He won SHIT with people he recruited, because they all turned on him. Tubby had no interest in everything else that's required with the UK job....sorry, it's not just a coaching gig.

So now they are simply saying he won't be back next year and that UK denied a presser for Friday.
