Self has one or two more years.If he gets knocked out in the first rd or doesnt make the tourney he's done.Apparently Billy Guilespe was the driving force behind his success.

No fire a guy who has a history of losing big games and whose recruiting success is attributed to the coach at Kentucky.

because its some small feat to get 3 teams to the Elite Eight? taking a team of left overs from the Roy era to the Elite Eight? the guy is a proven coach. the only way he'd go would be by pulling a Tubby...and I don't see it happening.

where do you get that Gillespie is the main reason Self has had success? he was only an assistant for 2 years under Self.

PS. Good luck Jules.

Did Roy leave Kansas in shambles?I don't remember it that way.
Read the sports illustrated article about Gullespe, it details how he was the main recruiter for Self.How can you say the guys a proven coach when his reputation is that of a guy who can't win a big game.

Nick Collison, an All-American, left as a Senior after Roy left. Kirk left. Simien was hurt. He went to the Elite Eight with Keith Langford, Aaron Miles, and JR Giddens.

Tim Jancovich, his top assistant last year and main recruiter, just took a job with Illinois State. The guy breeds not only head coaches, but NBA lottery picks. Its a reflection on the Man himself. There's not a better man for the job, and he's handled the criticism that ignorant fans (Duke fans) have thrown at him very well, including the ill conceived reputation that he can't win big games, (See: Two big wins over Texas Univ. and the POY and future No. 1 pick Kevin Durant). The guy's a young winner who will win a title.

Gillespie has and never will be a recruiter for Kansas University.

[BIRD33]

Just every place else Self's been which is how he got to Kansas.Might be easier to recruit at Kansas right now but waht happens when he gets to the elite 8 and loses again and his reputation as a guy who chokes is solidified?Every major college basketball commentator has said Self needs to win a big game or he's in trouble.
