If I'm him, I would. He's beloved at baylor, and always will be.

Someone could take the Kentucky job, and have four 30 win elite 8 seasons in a row, and be looked at as a failure and talked about like they are on the hot seat.

Which is exactly why cal left

I don't want to loose Drew because I enjoy watching his exasperation when things start to inevitably go south for him.

Demarcus cousins threw rajon rondo's name out there.

Zero coaching experience. But has been a player coach for a long time and one of the best. He could have a bright bright future as a coach if he pursued it, but head coach at Kentucky would be a ridiculous starting spot

Yea.

Not to mention being the coach in a smallish town in a state that hardly even knows what hoops is, is a little different than being at a blue blood in a state that hardly knows anything beyond hoops
