He probably has UK specifically mentioned in his deal as an easy out.

But, I doubt he'll get the job. I seriously doubt they'll offer the job to anyone that the majority of the fanbase does not appear to want. I felt the same way two years ago about every candidate that was shot down on catspause.

Who would they get then? Ford is the most probable and realistic candidate.

Tipton has become nothing but a mouthpiece for the Ruppites and Joe Hall. It amazes me that a guy who Kentucky fans couldn't wait to see gone as their coach is suddenly afforded some sort of shaman status because he's on the radio with Denny Crum.

Tipton is simply a class A prick. Seems like he has spent the last few years trying to become the new Billy Reed. He couldn't carry Reed's typewriter.

As far as Joe B is concerned, watching UK fans suck up to him now makes me appreciate the way Johnny Majors handled his business.

Tipton fell into the same trap that a whole bunch of guys have in the Around The Horn Era. He's a good writer who suddenly decided he wanted to be a celebrity. I do agree that Tipton on his best day can't compare to Billy Reed on his worst.

The Lex media has done a hatchet job on Billy Clyde from day one. I have lost any respect that I ever had for Jerry Tipton.

My favorite column today was Pat Forde implying that Billy Clyde's nightlife was a key reason for the failure of his tenure. If liking women and drinks is a problem in Lexington, it's a good thing Forde isn't trying to get employment at UK.

Haha having spent some time in Lexington and with that institution, you are correct, alcohol and womanizing have never been a problem with them.

Why wouldn't UGA or Bama call him right now?

I'm not the guy to ask that question. If I were in Mal Moore or Damon Evans' position I would have asked permission to talk to him as soon as the final buzzer sounded in South Bend Wednesday night.

Mark it down, Cal will be their new coach (I said that about Donavan on another board so I'm covering all my bases here).

No way! You hire the right guy, Kentucky is Kentucky again in 3 years max. As much as hat wants to ride this one out, BCG was not the right guy.

They won't hire the right guy. Mainly because anyone that is potentially right for the program will be smart enough not to take the job.
