I think if UK wanted a football coach that had been ran out of town at another school they would have pursued Mike Leatch, but with that being said, you never know what will happen in college athletics....It's a proven fact that if you can get results on the court, field, etc, you will have a job no matter what you've done....I'm a UK nut, but lets face it, Cal has left his last two schools on probation, and he got one of the elite jobs in college basketball....Rick P had his off the court issues that if he were a lesser coach, might have cost him his job....Billy Clyde, shew, don't even get started on him....If you want to look back a little further, Bob Knight got ran out of IU, and went to Texas Tech....I hope for the sake of my UK pride that we don't hire Petrino, even though I think he would atleast make us semi-relevant in the SEC....U of L went about hiring a football coach the correct way with Charlie Strong, a budding young assistant at a big time school, and it is paying off for them....I hope UK follows that stategy, but I'm sure we'll wind up some run of the mill bum that might get us to a bowl game every 4th year
