Now this is an eye-catcher. Just as reports, that Tubby Smith was fired from Kentucky, Andy Katz of ESPN.com is reporting that the perpetually embattled Head Coach will bolt for the...

Minnesota Golden Gophers job!

According to the brief story, the highest paid college basketball coach will take a pay cut to only $1.8 million dollars.

This is stunning. Not that he would leave Kentucky at this point. Or that he may have been fired (or strongly encouraged to look elsewhere) but that he would jump to Minnesota without even giving Michigan a chance to woo him.
