I always liked Joker, but everyone isn't an SEC head coach. He's still got a good future, but he'll have to choose whether he would rather be a head coach at a smaller venue or a position coach or coordinator at higher levels.

I agree that UK should consider Taggart. Nutt, not so much. Complete head case.

Taggart is the name the media keeps kicking around, but he didn't exactly endear himself to UK folks during the lead-up to WKU's game against them this year.

Nutt, I think is done as a head coach in this league. Not only was the Ole Miss experience a flame-out, but the way he left Arkansas didn't go over well and he never really accomplished anything there of note. Kentucky would be better off either going for a young guy, or ......... being the school to give Petrino his rebound stop.

ON EDIT: Saw where Kentucky's AD said they would not consider Petrino. Names they're considering include Brent Pease, Dirk Koetter and Phil Fulmer. I kid you not.

Nutt retired a couple of years ago; he just failed to alert Ole Miss to this fact & thus emptied their cupboard badly while drawing a big paycheck.

Kentucky wanted to get the jump on Auburn in the available coaches market.
Staci I made one of my aubie buddies so mad last night saying that. He insist abarn and KY would never be considering the same coaches. It really gets under their skin! :)

BTW, I think ARK beat everyone to the front of the coaching search this year. They never stopped interveiwing after hiring Smith is what I hear.
