Kenny Payne gets strong endorsement to be next Louisville Cardinals head coach

Would Kenny Payne consider taking over the Louisville Cardinals basketball program?

In a recent article by Rich Bozich for WDRB in Louisville, several former players, and even Hall of Fame Coach Larry Brown, have described the Louisville job as the “perfect fit” for someone like Payne.

KP has been with UK since the 2010-11 season, Cal’s second at UK. Kentucky hired Payne from his former position at Oregon to come down and be one of Cal’s assistants. Since then, he has become a valuable cog in Cal’s recruiting machine. He creates strong relationships with players, he recruits and he coaches.
