are incredibly naive. This was the question I always had…how are ya gonna replace him? Who is going to recruit top players? What contacts does he have in the states that produce the great players? Even on the NIL, Lexington does not have major companies like many other schools to help support them. This is a great step into reality. You got your wish, Cal is gone. No one wants the job and we are bringing in an unproven coach with little opportunity to retain or bring in 5 star recruits. Great plan. I guess if we make the tournament and make it past the first weekend now everyone will call this a win.
I will not bash you for your opinion, Everyone is entitled to one. But there is something you must understand: Calapri left on his own due to his bosses and fans wanting more for their money. He left in the middle of the night so to speak.
Instead of owning what he created, he tucked his tail and left.
I am with you on concerns going forward; who really can;'t be with a new coach.
Our new coach brings something we haven't seen in a long time; passion for the job.
I don't see Mark Pope getting complacent, arrogant, condescending any time soon; all traits of Coach Cal.
I would have much rather Cal left under different circumstances but this is his choosing and so be it. We are UK.
We are bigger than Coach Cal whether he believes it or not.
We may not have the best of seasons come next year with everyone leaving, but in time Coach Cal will be an afterthought. Time heals everything.
When he came here from Memphis, someone said he would leave this way and how true that was.
Again, this is Cal's decision all because he was stubborn and thought he could just keep losing games and no one dare hold him accountable.
Coach Cal left like a thief in the night. So with that, he can eat hog shit till the cows come home.
