Tubby leaving?

part of article from today's courier-journal...............

Then there's the matter of Virginia's coaching vacancy. Numerous media reports from that state speculate that the Cavaliers will make a pitch to UK coach Tubby Smith and that the money will be handsome.
Smith tried to downplay any chance that he'll leave last week when the Wildcats were in Indianapolis, saying that he's happy at UK and not looking to leave. At the same time, he didn't say that he had no interest in any other jobs.
"What good does it do for me to say that I have no interest?" Smith said. "That only makes me look like I'm too comfortable in my job."
Smith already is one of the nation's best-paid coaches. His contract, which runs through April 3, 2011, will pay him $1.9 million next season. He'll receive a longevity bonus of $1.5 million if he's still UK's coach on April 3, 2007, and another bonus of $2.5 million on April 3, 2011.
But if Smith stands by what he's said all along, that he hopes to be UK's coach for many more years, he'll resume the challenge of trying to get the Cats to the Final Four for the first time since 1998.
With the Cats coming up painfully short in their third regional final since 1999, they currently are in the throes of a seven-year Final Four drought. The longest drought in the history of the program is eight years.
So, along with the mass of returning players will come the usual load of pressure, plus some.
