    There's no way of knowing that.

    Re: Billy Gillespie and Rehab

    We fired LE because he had his picture taken holding a can of beer and now we should hire a guy with 3 DUI's.

    He evidently didn't change after the first DUI, didn't change after the second DUI, but we're kind of hoping that he might change the 3rd DUI.

    And it was a failure by GG and BVDV to fire LE, instead of giving him the opportunity to rehab, and i think a lot of fans thought, and continue to think that.

    Right. Billy is more likely to get a DUI than the other candidiates based on history.

    He didn't get help after the first 2. He didn't get fired after the first 2, he actually got better job offers. I think the last 2 years would have sobered him up.

    Then you don't have an AD's mentality either, because I guarantee any coaching hire is a gamble.

    Not saying Billy shouldn't be considered, but we have to be very careful.
    Kansas State took a gamble on Bob Huggins. He built up the atmosphere and brought in good assistant coaches and recruits. He only stayed for a year and KSU has skyrocketed since.

    I am willing to experiment if it means bringing in a coach who was once considered a top coaching prospect and has had huge success in the Big12.

    Really? He has more wins than all of the other candidiates?

    Re: Billy Gillespie and Rehab

    First you have to get BCG to sign the contract and not just the 1 page memo of understanding. I don't think he ever did sign the Kentucky contract.
