All UK assistants are on contract until June 30, 2014 and are due full salary until then or until they get another job or collect unemployment benefits. I think all are probably looking - it doesn't look good in the long run to sit around and collect a paycheck from your previous employer just because you can - but they can afford hold out and not take the first job offered.
Smith will probably end up back in the high school ranks or maybe a small college HC or DC job. Summers, Cassity, Sanders, and Nord all have solid D-1 credentials. I think age will start to work against them more than the failure of the Joker regime at UK.

This link is to an interview on a Kentucky site with former Auburn QB / Bo Jackson teammate, Pat Washington (who coached WR's at UK this past season.)

I can't believe no LSU fans have even mentioned the name Bob Pettit.
Not an LSU fan, but I sat behind - ok maybe a dozen rows behind - Bob Petit at the SEC tournament one year in Atlanta, probably around 10 years ago. Floor seats behind one of the baskets. My Dad pointed him out to me.

12 tackles, 1 tackles for loss, a fumble recovery and 2 passes broken up. <<
That's a typical Sunday at the office for Wesley Woodyard, and he wasn't even drafted coming out of the SEC

Hard as heck to pick just one. Maybe one per decade I've been following the team....
60's - OK I was too young in the 60's but Cotton Nash's grandkids play football for my daughter's school.
70's - Kyle Macy (just over Jack Givens) - Purdue transfer provided the missing piece to bring UK's first NCAA title in 20 years.
80's - Kenny Walker (over Rex Champman) - even with the twin towers of Bowie and Turpin, Kenny brought an explosiveness that made Kentucky basketball fun again after some relatively ho-hum seasons
90's - Jamal Mashburn (over Derek Anderson, Jeff Sheppard et al) - teamed with the "Unforgettables" to bring UK basketball back to life and national relevance.
00's Tayshaun Prince (over ?) - great kid, great talent, and silenced the critics by proving he could succeed at the next level
10's Anthony Davis (over Wall, Cousins, et...) - one of the best ever to wear the UK uni. If he can get and stay healthy may go down as one of the best ever period.
In the shake-my-head-for-what-could've-been category - Dwight Anderson.

re: Which SEC program had the best assistants at one time on staff?
Posted by kritikalcat on 12/9/12 at 11:45 pm
Collier's 1959 staff actually coached a season together. Hard to beat the HC, OC and DC of the last team to win a Super Bowl undefeated all on the same coaching staff at Kentucky.
But Chuck Knox wasn't on it. He was at UK in 1961 (Collier's last season) and 1962 (Charley Bradshaw's 1st season / the Thin 30.)
But a coach not mentioned on the Wildcat's '59 staff was Ermal Allen, left in '62 to coach DB's for a young NFL franchise in Dallas. Later became the Cowboys' head of scouting, and a key behind the scenes component of Dallas's success in the Landry era.

re: Does your school have a yearly PSL fee to buy season tickets
Posted by kritikalcat on 11/30/12 at 6:54 pm
Kentucky football: about 20% of seats (not counting student, band and visitor sections) are public season tickets - no donation required, just first come / first serve. These are all upper deck, mostly upper-half of the upper deck and upper deck corners.
The rest of the season tickets in Commonwealth Stadium (everything in the lower deck, under the overhang, and lower part of upper deck) is K-Fund seating. Per ticket donation ranges from $100 per seat (most endzone seating and corners) to $525 per seat (between the 35's under the overhang) Of course you need higher K-Fund point totals to have access.
Rupp Arena donation levels run from $450 to $5,000 per seat. There's actually quite a bit of no-donation seating (much of the upper deck) in Rupp, but very few of those seats (or the lowers with donations) come open. You either have to be picked in a lottery or make a large one time donation to get them (then the annual donation).
In 2001 a pair of Endowment Seats (courtside) went for around $300,000 (one time donation.) Today I think they're in the $500,000+ range.
