for firing him also played a role in the announcement that he'd be back.
You have to believe UK is THRILLED with this outcome, as it saves them a ton of money and will bring the boosters that were turned off by Coach Cal back to the table.
little chance Kentucky would have planned to bring him back if not for the large money owed. I'll be interested to see how far (if at all) Kentucky has to go down their wish list before getting someone to say yes. I'd be very surprised if Hurley or Jay Wright would take the job. I don't know if guys like Few or Drew or Oats would make the move. After that I'm not sure what the pecking order would be. Donovan, Pearl, Pitino, Otzenberger, Lloyd, Underwood- basically anyone with some accomplishments could possibly be in play.
