The Battle for Ice Tea Supremacy
Acuff is a beastOvercame a pesky team. Not angry at them getting tested in second round. Get back to business. Arkansas and Acuff are going to be tough.
Money’s no object for either school, and Tommy’s gonna get phone calls from both ADs.Tommy Lloyd is a top candidate for the UNC job. Also sounds like Kansas could open up. He’s got an $11m buyout though.
Agreed. That would suck.Money’s no object for either school, and Tommy’s gonna get phone calls from both ADs.
Buckle up
If Tommy leaves it’s an AD issue. I think a lot of things would have to line up for him to leave though.Never thought Tommy would leave on his own. Tell me its not true
Never thought Tommy would leave on his own. Tell me its not true
If it’s not about money that’s a good thing because he’s holding his own with recruiting.This is the price of success. Arizona's a Top-10 job, but UNC and KU are 2 of the top 3 jobs in the industry. In a way, it's flattering that Tommy is very high on their lists.
That being said, he's not the only one on the lists, and I dont think Tommy is #1 on either. For KU, I heard that Jacque Vaughn might be the coach in waiting, but I could see boosters not being thrilled with that option and encourage the AD to look elsewhere. I do think the $11 million buyout gives the ADs something extra to think about, especially since Billy Donovan and Brad Stevens have no buyout, Dusty May is $7.5 million and TJ Otz is $4 million.
With the exception of the rift with DRF, Tommy is plenty happy being in Tucson, and I dont think he's going to be in a hurry to uproot and move east. UofA will be able to match almost any offer KU and UNC can give, so it wouldnt be about money if he leaves.
Nothing's imminent and I doubt Tommy is thinking about anything other than Arkansas at the moment, because even if he wanted to leave, another S16 flameout would be a major demerit on his resume for a blue blood job.
