Sitake is a nice guy, a really nice guy. That doesn’t mean he is a great coach. I think we’ve seen what he can do.

He probably knew he wasn’t leaving so wanted to squash rumors

There are two reasons we can't continue to call him KY. We can do better.

Stojakovic is still a potential BYU target.

He was already pursuing him from BYU.

He doesn’t have a hot seat, but it’s a little warm. He has a couple of years yet to stabilize the program.

Yllage Vidiot

3:21pm

TH showed a lot of moxie with this hire, but firing Kalani? Let’s not get crazy here.

This isn't a TH hire and TH isn't calling the shots
