I just don't see it. Neither Billy Donovan nor Brad Stevens are coming back to college. Jay Wright is too comfortable being an analyst, I think if Jay Wright went back into coaching he's going to the NBA or right back to Villanova.
UK fans conveniently forget that Jay Wright is absolutely a Philly guy. He's not leaving the Northeast/Philly area. Same with Dan Hurley. Dan Hurley has never lived or coached more than 100 miles outside of NYC. He's a Northeast/NYC guy at heart, never mind UConn really is more of a blue blood than UK at this point and there's nothing Hurley can accomplish at UK he can't accomplish at UConn.
Honestly Dan Hurley wouldn't be a good cultural fit at UK. I know many UK fans here will point to Pitino but that's still different.
UK fans, more than any other fan base in college basketball, need a coach who essentially kisses butt to Big Blue Nation. UK fans more than any other fan base wants a coach who essentially worships the fans.
To me that points to Scott Drew, Bruce Pearl or Travis Ford.
