Are there any coaches in the SEC that you'd take right now over KA?

Myself, I'd take:

Billy Donovan - One of my favorite coaches period.
Kevin Stallings - Always respected him.
Frank Martin - He has his issues, but he'd compete.
John Calipari - I don't think it's just the UK name.
Bruce Pearl - Yeah, he had his sanctions, but he can get it done.
Mike Anderson - Hate how he screwed us on the way out, but he's resurrected UAB, MU and now Arky.
Mark Fox - They're not great, but he's done a better job than he's given credit for.
Johnny Jones - Underachieves given the talent, but shite the guy can recruit. He recruits so good at this point, I'm waiting for word from the NCAA.
Donnie Tyndall - First year coach. Tons of new players. Last minute recruiting last year. Sound familiar? Difference is he has twice as many wins.


Those I think I'd take KA over:

Billy Kennedy - I actually like what he's doing at A&M but I don't think I've seen one A&M fan that likes him.
Rick Ray - Doesn't seem to be able to coach or recruit.
Andy Kennedy - With the decent job he did this year, I almost bumped him up, but nope.
Anthony Grant - He seems to always do just good enough to not lose his job.

Plus Andy Kennedy is a drunk racist.

Jones would frustrate the Frick outta me. All that talent.

Martin - no thanks.

Pretty much everyone else, I'd take right now.

Billy D.

Constant professional. Can handle the big stage. Very likeable guy.

Outside of me having Billy Kennedy on my "take over KA" list, I agree 100 percent with reedus. How Grant hasn't been fired yet blows my mind. And I don't like Andy Kennedy personally for the reasons mentioned above.

I almost bumped him up. If I wasn't on tRant I probably would have. But the power of tRant is strong and I seriously don't think I've seen one A&M fan that's happy with him.

They're getting happy. He has a top 10 class coming in next year. Maybe top 5.

Tough call after just one season with Kim. Easier to call after year 2 with more data.

Donovan right now is the only one I would take simply because of how good he is and no baggage that I'm aware of.

I've been impressed with Mark Fox though.

I really wanted Pearl when we hired KA. I still don't get it. We can hire Haith when he has NCAA issues looming but we can't hire Pearl when his probation is over.
