They are supposed to be dream jobs. But when the head-coaching positions for the Kentucky men's and Tennessee women's college basketball programs recently came open, several potential candidates apparently passed on the opportunities.
The programs have each won eight NCAA titles and have large fan bases. In contrast to many other leagues, the SEC is as stable as any conference in college sports.
These should have been destination jobs many coaches might desire. So why did it seem as if they weren't?
Kentucky hired former Wildcats player and 1996 national champion Mark Pope, who spent the past five seasons at BYU.
