Can't Believe Louisville Is Planning To Fire Kenny Payne Just A Couple Hours After He Compared The Program To The Titanic, Begged For Another Year
I can't believe we're losing Kenny Payne. The man is going to go down as the worst head coach I've ever seen. I can't believe I'm saying that, but he also deserved one more year. He had people still going wild defending him in the last home game of the season:
Need to see how that guy is feeling today. Anyways back to Kenny Payne. He was supposed to be the savior for Louisville. He won a title playing there before figuring life out and coaching under Calipari and basically becoming one of the great assistant coaches in America. He turned that into a job with the Knicks, looked like an elite NBA assistant coach and then came on home to Louisville. Instead he, well, let's run through some of the highlights.
Openly admitted Mike Woodson tricked him
A player debated sitting out because of tights
Team had to put out a statement because of rumors he fought a player
Losses to Division II teams

Gonna miss him. I have no idea who Louisville hires. If you count interim coaches, Louisville has had 5 different coaches since 2017. Impressive. I know Louisville fans want Scott Drew, don't think that's happening. Why would he go there and rebuild a program again when he's already done that at Baylor? The funniest outcome for sure is Mick Cronin. Bring him home, Cards.
