Slice got O's spot, but yeah this could be seen from a mile away. Cal was pimping Barbee as COY in the SEC last year and tried to convince Memphis to hire him when he left.
Right. At the time Barbee got fired the words, "he'll probably be hired at Kentucky if anyone leaves" was pretty well tied to any news of him getting fired.
I'm not saying Slice was a bad hire or anything or that Barbee should've been there over him. But it's not a stretch to think Barbee was considered for O's position while Slice was still in his home state as an assistant or for what was really close to being a Kenny Payne opening as well.

Oh for sure. I think Barbee probably gets that position if Slice turns the job down or like you said if Payne left as well.
