OT - Next Louisville Coach

[freescooter]

I think there are really two questions if you are Louisville. 1 is this year the other is long term. Given that the season effectively begins in a month you need someone to take over starting today even if he doesn't officially start today. Most likely it will
Be an interim position to give them time to find a permanent guy next season. And with all the unknowns right now it can't really be s current assistant, 2 of which are under FBI scrutiny it seems. That's where a retired/out of work experienced guy, Matta, JTIII etc. comes in. Longer term, who knows but if I were looking I'd look for a highly regarded alumnus who played for Crum if such a guy can be found. Of course this is Louisville so that guy probably doesn't exist but you try.

I bet their recruits go to China for a year then declare.

 

[Mr. French]

This will be a job for a young whipper snapper with plenty of time to figure out how to bring the program back from hell. Also he won't be one who is highly sought because no one of that stature will take that job.

And they're not going to pay a lot either.

I'll take it!

It's gotta be her. The environment is already set up for her to thrive and improve things.
It's gotta be Coach Del Rio. She'd fit right in.

For a second I thought I clicked onto the Hugh Hefner thread.

They aren't exactly chock full of those types of recruits.

Is that Vanessa Del Rio?

Yep

Yep

Wow never seen her without a ...oh never mind just leave it at she looked good with a bar in her hands.

With all the speculation on a replacement, Pitino has not been fired/ terminated. He is on administrative leave without pay. There seems to be a 10 day clause about termination in his contract. Until Pitino is officially gone, I don't see Louisville hiring anybody.

And Jurick is on paid administrative leave. So no new AD until Jurick is officially gone.

Their interim president said they'll be looking for interim replacements for both immediately. Reports are they want someone for each position within 48 hours

Jeff Hatheway to UL as new AD, which would be a self-imposed sanction.

 

[CL82]

After Pitino, you'd have to find the right guy with right back ground who'd feel comfortable in that environment.
Is Caretaker is available?

Louisville Coaching Search Rumblings

A source told InsideTheVille Wednesday night Louisville will tab Bellarmine coach Scott Davenport as interim coach with a one year deal worth $2 million.

Long term they suggest Chris Mack.

Looks like it's going to be Padgett

Maybe it's just me. But I don't think anyone from slick ricks staff should be promoted. But, who eles would except that job at this point and time.

Also will he be suspended for the games that rick was over the hooker?

 

[HuskiesAllDay]

Did this really need its own thread? Is this even important information/speculation? Who cares about David Padgett.

Who thought this was a good idea? The whole coaching staff should have been put on immediate leave. How does Padgett have an iota of plausible deniability for all the cheating that Pitino was just busted doing? If Padgett gets arrested, Louisville is going to look beyond ridiculous.

I love it.

I got the names mixed up and thought this thread was about Dave Wingett. Very disappointed.

Tom Crean would take that job to resurrect his career

If DP had DW’s talent he’d still be playing pro ball
