I don't doubt that Mr. Calipari would crawl over broken glass to get to Lexington. And that he could handle the pressure. But is he on the short list? At this time, I don't have a guess one way or the other.

Donovan and Dixon are excellent coaches as well, although I'm not sure they'd be as willing to leave their current places as Calipari.

I agree for the most part.
Still... Florida's and Pitt's programs are not Kentucky's. Nor is either school viewed as a basketball school. Thus the allure of coaching at The University of Kentucky, and a coaches' ego, might be enough for them to seriously consider coaching at what most would consider a "better" program then where they are currently coaching.
Perhaps one of the questions to be considered is how much "love" (loyalty) do they - or any of the other coaches being considered - have for their current school?
