giga Veteran Posted March 22, 2007 Veteran Share Posted March 22, 2007 http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=2808406 Tubby Smith is leaving Kentucky after 10 seasons to take the head coaching job at Minnesota. Smith, who had four years remaining on his contract, will be introduced at a 1 p.m. ET news conference Friday in Minneapolis. A Kentucky source said that the school would still honor the $1.5 million incentive bonus that Smith is due on April 3. Smith informed Kentucky players and athletics director Mitch Barnhart about his decision earlier Thursday and also phoned former Minnesota coach Dan Monson, who was fired in November, to tell him he was accepting the job.

mattmatik Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 I hope Tubby has a great career at Minnesota. I hate Kentucky but I've always liked and respected Tubby. He's a quality person and a fantastic college coach. Good luck, Kentucky. It's going to be a long rebuilding process.

L3thal Veteran Posted March 25, 2007 Veteran Share Posted March 25, 2007 Good move by Tubby. Kentucky is obnoxious and its not a place that Tubby should be in any longer. He deserves much better.
