If I'm Scott drew, no way I touch that job. He's got a good thing. Going at Baylor, recruits well, nice facilities, good team in a tough conference and is well liked.
Kentucky is where you go to get chewed up and spit out.
He's been at Baylor for 20 years and won a national title. He's financially set for life, and realistically he's going to coach another 10 years (I think Hop said at age 65 you're washed up?
)
If there was actually a perfect time to take that job, I'd say it would be now.
And I think our allegiance to BCG has led us to have a viewpoint on Kentucky that's not really reflected by their history.
Calipari was there for 15 years.
Tubby Smith for 10.
Pitino for 8.
Hall for 13.
Rupp for half a century.
Sutton left due to a scandal.
So actually in the last 100 years of Kentucky Basketball coaches, Billy Gillispie is the only guy that you could actually say got "chewed up and spit out".
