A number of articles are in fact disclosing that the first choice is Bill Gillispie. An interesting facet is that Gillispie has not signed a contract at Kentucky, instead he has been working under a two-page memorandum of understanding that details his compensation package.

I'll agree with you on that (good programs have decent coaching stability)...what is odd is hiring him to start...he was totally unproven as a head coach and probably didn't deserve the job (nepotism is a bad thing most of the time). The point is that the schools with money tend to be able to hire a coach that can make the winning part happen...hence no need to change coaches regularly. Mark my words, they (OSU) will be upgrading with this coaching change...BIG TIME!

You have a $175M investment and your bball is lower tier.

Just Do It. Spend more oil money and hire Bill Selfish.

Huh?
