Either way, I'm glad to see the hiring is being handled internally and not buy some shitty head hunting deal like we had under Gillispie. I would like to see him get some former UK guys involved like Brooks, Dawson, etc.

I just don't want to have to google the new coach's name to find out who the frick he is. No west coast guys. Somebody who can recruit in the South.

Tommy Tuberville - Texas Tech
Butch Jones - Cincy
Phil Fulmer - Former Tennessee HC

I hope he forms a committee with some football people on it, like Dermonte Dawson and Jeff Van Note. Barnhart is not a football guy.
His revenue sports hires have been awful (Gillispie), and seemed awful at the time (Brooks).
I don't give him credit for Calipari, cause Calipari hired himself.

Yeah someone like Brooks being involved would be great, UK really needs to connect on this hire.
It was nice hearing that last paragraph about expectations, goals, direction of the program from Mitch. If he means it, he will have no more problems out of BBN.
