Why would an established coach go there except for contract money UCLA is trending that way too. Storied in history books. Not so much now. Throw Indiana in there too. These programs seem very hard to resurrect
Syracuse too. Something has changed

Louisville needs to hire a proven winning coach who understands the modern college basketball landscape. That is not Holloway. It doesn't mean Holloway can't become that guy, but he is not there yet and Louisville doesn't want another coach who is learning on the job like Kenny Payne.

In my opinion, Pat Kelsey is a much better option for Louisville, although he doesn't have high end experience with NIL,...

Thee list of coaches that are 1) squeaky clean, 2) have a proven track record in the NIL space, 3) have a proven track record as a head coach, and 4) would leave their current job for Louisville is somewhere between very small and nonexistent. They’re going to need to make some compromises.

Louisville is not an upgrade over Arkansas.
Yes it is. The SEC is stuffed with good coaches compared to the ACC. Who are the best coaches in the ACC now the Williams, Coach K, and Boeheim have retired? Louisville is a top 3/4 job in the ACC and UNC, Duke, and Syracuse hired assistant coaches with no head coaching experience, FSU and Miami's coaches are in their mid 70s, and Bennett at UVA coaches a boring style of play. Arkansas is probably a middle tier job in the SEC.

I wonder if Xavier's kinda hoping Louisville makes Miller an offer he can't refuse so that they can then go after Kelsey...

In 2019-20 they won 24 games and were a 20 to 30 win program every year after 2001-02, hardly the history books

And Louisville is a bottom tier job in the ACC. Arkansas has a lot more money and better history than most SEC schools.

As Louisville you have to show other prospects otherwise the contract will be bad.

Pat Kelsey?

Coached at Winthrop and CoC and has never won an NCAAT game?

That would be...pretty sad...for Louisville. Small time.
He’s been a pretty big name the past few years and is going to land a big job soon. His offensive scheme combined with Louisville’s resources would definitely bring some excitement. Feels like one of the higher ceiling options for them.

Really? This time of year I thought you'd be more interested in how your team is doing in the NCAA tournament... oh wait... um, never mind.

I hate giving credit to a Duke alum, but I'm surprised that Chris Collins doesn't get more mention for some of these jobs.

Not agreed. Syracuse won 20 games this year. So what. Winning 20 games in a season for these teams in a major conference is just this side of mediocrity. How many times in the last 10 years have teams said oh no Louisville is in our bracket, we are doomed. Once maybe.
Louisville has fallen, and they can't get up. They can't pass the smell test. As. they actually do smell.
Please don't tell me they are in the ACC and that makes them de facto formidable.
