UK assistant Kenny Payne addresses reports tying him to Louisville job Jon Hale/Courier Journal
Can we move on from the Kenny Payne-to-Louisville chatter?
I get how we got here: A few of Payne’s well-known friends told a writer they’ve known for a while they’d like to see their old pal get the head-coaching gig at their alma mater. The writer wrote that as any writer would, because it’s newsworthy when big-name alumni speak up about something like this.
Twitter freaked out. Message board threads rapidly expanded. Radio shows dedicated hours to it, and other media outlets weighed in, too.
