After a pretty tame coaching carousel, what a bombshell!
All because SMU fired a pretty solid coach after just two years!
And to dive a little deeper, they made a change because of realignment, because of football

“You know how you’ve gotten progressively worse for years to the point that everybody in Kentucky is sick of you and you’re grossly overpaid?”

“Yes.”
“Well, we’d like you to come do that here at Arkansas.”

Drew will take it. There is circumstantial evidence that points to Grant McCasland believing that Drew might go to Kentucky last year.

That would be interesting to see McCasland bolt Tech after one year. He would definitely take the BU job if Drew goes to UK.

Is there any reason to believe Tang would have any particular attachment to Baylor over Kansas State?

He would be absolutely be first up on their call sheet.
And I don't buy anyone saying that McCasland would leave Tech for Baylor.
Tech has a history of overpaying coaches. Baylor doesn't offer him anything he isn't already getting.
This isn't Beard to Texas.Quote:
Baylor offers him a chance to coach at the school he played for. Tech can never do that. How important is that to him? I don't know.

It's different calculus.
Not in 2024.Quote:
Baylor is a much better job from a prestige standpoint than Tech.
Probably not since Olympics NIL converted all but wrestling to pro athletes…and if you ever watched WWE you kinda know why they didn't professionalize wrestling…they couldn't compete with American kabuki theater…TAMUallen said:CapCityAg89 said:“You know how you’ve gotten progressively worse for years to the point that everybody in Kentucky is sick of you and you’re grossly overpaid?”

It's better than Arkansas has seen and if they're giving 6 million a year, guaranteed, to NIL then the game has just changed.
It'll also be the end of NIL (as it is now)
Oates already said no, put out a statement. He could always change his mind, but doubtful.Fanatic15...Drs2B! said:

or some coaches don't want to be in a meat grinder 24/7 365 even for ton of money.GrayMatter said:
Looks like they're on to the 2nd tier of coaching prospects. That should tell you that the Kentucky job isn't as good as some would think.
If they can't money whip Drew or Oates, it's not about the money or the historical reputation.

Looks like Drew wants to have family life, I doubt that happens at UK for any MBB coach
