What does on Twitter mean? That’s a wide range of possibilities.
Also, there will always be a recruiting class coming in. Does that make Cal untouchable?
Buyout is imminent
- Thread starter $Z71$
- Start date

The ambassador option starts this year. He can quit now, forfeit the remainder of coaching contract and collect roughly $1M per year.
I bet he agrees to a buyout if most if not all of the players have told him they're leaving. If he has a solid core coming back, he's here IMO. If it's a mass exodus, he gone.
100% agree.
No way he goes out on a low note and takes a lesser role. That would be admitting his failure and sticking around to remind himself of it. No chance IMO
Just what the usual group on there is saying, the shit changes every damn hour. He is gone, then he is back, he is gone, then he is back again. It will be that way until a decision is made. I agree on the recruits, next years class especially shouldn’t be used as a hostage point
And he's a big anti-gun liberal. How ironic considering his acting roles.
What? You mean he's as bad as Liam Neeson and the rest of Hollywood? That's so weird
The "Lesser Role" will have Cal step aside as head coach and Mitch will name Cal as UK's Defensive Coach for 2024/25.
I hope Mitch isn’t stupid enough to believe Cal. Nothing will change, if he returns it’s going to be an even worse season and miserable for Cal, the fans, and the players. If Mitch has the balls he would get rid of Cal and move on.
Tbh I think it is pretty simple, if Reed is back he will be back. If Reed is gone, Cal is gone.
Maybe I am confused with all the names being thrown around, but isn't Ozetleburger's buyout like $18 million? Maybe not expensive to you.. but to UK and most of us, I think so.
Here's an idea, UK should do a pay per view of this meeting to pay for the buyout 😆😂.
To be a fly on the wall in that meeting, guarantee you at $50-$100 a pop they'd get the $33M quickly.
For real, tell me I'm wrong...they'd cut the check that night.

Kenny Payne as HC with Cal riding shotgun on recruiting trips. Gonna get the band back together.
That means that Cal's people have already negotiated the exit deal. Cal will meet with MB to ink the deal. Good sign IMO.
Mitch can't work a buyout with Caligari so UK fires Mitch for incompetence and names Cal as AD and he will be in charge of new coach search.......
Bruiser is rumored to be targeted for HC position.......

When I see that guys posts, he is the one I can’t never tell if he is actually connected or is just saying shit and hoping it sticks
He seems to have the right info most of the times, but I wouldn’t put full trust into him
Don’t get too excited hon
I really don’t believe it’ll be anything but a bunch of talk about how it’ll be better next year
Aaron Torres in 30 minutes on utube. His topic tonight, CAN KENTUCKY LAND HURLEY!!!
Yeah he seems to be 1/4 guy with info. He will get something right about 25-50 percent of the time
BKO...curious as I know you've been vocal against Cal for awhile, seeking your thoughts here....
Hypothetically, if we were to hire Scott Drew and return no one to team OR keep Cal and re-evaluate after next year but retain say, Reed/Z/Thiero at minimum, what would you do?
I'm torn. Was late to fire Cal party, but fully on board now. That said, I have always had less faith in Mitch than Cal. I don't think Drew is the answer (I may be wrong- JMHO). Reed is a once in a lifetime kid...and I grew up idolizing his dad. He brought me a ton of joy this year...a second year would be incredible, but Cal is gonna Cal unfortunately, so I'm torn.
If that’s true and Calipari walks out of there still the Kentucky coach I’m going to start a riot….. I can not handle another season with Cal. He will continue to bash the fans, acts like he’s always right, won’t play the right players, will use the “we’re young excuse” every time they lose. The fans are fed up with his shit and Mitch can kick rocks with Cal if he lets him stay
Yeah after looking deeper into his Twitter I think he’s full of shit. I’ll link another post from him below, he’s just throwing shit at the wall hoping it’ll stick
This is not accurate. The contract is not "lifetime"; it expires on June 30, 2029. Calipari has the option beginning with the 2024-25 year of the contract (he would exercise the option for that year by written notice to the Athletic Director by April 15, 2024) to move from the Head Men's Basketball Coach position to the job of Special Assistant to the Athletic Director. The performance duties and the compensation package of the Special Assistant position are substantially different but the duration of the contract term is the same.
Don’t know this guy, but I just have a gut feeling there’s a 0% chance Calipari walks out of a proposed meeting as anything other than our coach next season. It’ll be nothing but “things need to change” and “we need to see something this year.”
Admittedly, that gut feeling is nothing more than me firmly believing Barnhart doesn’t have near the stones to look Calipari in the eye and tell him it’s over. He strikes me as the type to cower at the mere glance of someone more forceful than him.
Yeah I don’t believe him, nobody but him mentioned Ohio St. reaching out. Some of the most connected sources at Kentucky haven’t said Michigan or Ohio St has reached out to Cal. So I call BS on it
Yep he was as usual awesome. And of course one of his best but quick roles was, you got it. The Big Lebowski.
To me even Reed returning can’t justify cal coming back. Cal has failed to many times with so much talent. Losing to St. Peter’s and Oakland in the first round is enough justification to move on
I haven’t had a White Russian in years, but man I tell you what the last time I did it kicked my ass lolYep he was as usual awesome. And of course one of his best but quick roles was, you got it. The Big Lebowski.
Yeah the phrase "lifetime contract" is misleading...it is more like an "until your 70" contract.
