100% correct. You have a job to do until you don't.
Not sure what he will share but I'd recommend listening to 630 WLAP from 9-10:30a EST to see what Pilgrim has to say. He has been providing updates as he gets them.

"Until the wheels fall off." Well, at least he knows what to expect.
Correct. I want Mitch gone as much as the next guy but I'm terrified that UK will be pressured to bring back Peevey for 'PC' reasons. He's a basketball only AD (DePaul doesn't even have football) and I believe they had the worst record in D1 this year. Please keep him away from UK.
My thoughts exactly. His Twitter account hadn’t had anything posted in months. Thought the timing was interesting with reports about recruits contacted.
Yeah Welch was a great hire, but the 2 most important games we went back to his classic style and didn’t resemble the same offense we had all year. It’s crazy to me.
If cal is here next season, things are gonna go beyond sour.
I can’t even imagine some of the things we will see at Rupp next year.

An empty house would send a very clear and pointed message….
Actually, I think college basketball starts getting younger again now that the covid stuff drops off.
Apparently Calipari underachieving is is an opportunity to rant about political correctness because Dwayne Peevey is black.
Rupp Rafters
If that’s what’s being said on Facebook, I’m now convinced we’ll have a new coach by next season.
Not many places have a better track record of being 100% incorrect.

Honest question. No matter when Cal leaves and no matter the circumstances do you think Cal leaves the program in anything but shambles?
If he leaves, it’s really not his deal if the recruits decide not to come. It doesn’t look like Cal will leave for another job now, as they’re filling quick. If he leaves, nothing is in shambles, especially with the transfer portal. It would be up to a new coach or staff to work on current players or recruits. The program is solid with facilities, etc , and will be bringing in even more money now that the SEC has expanded
"very difficult to navigate." And he's being nice.
''If Kentucky were to bring John Calipari back most reasonable fans would still support him and the team''.
GFY Chris Fisher.
Jim Harbaugh was vastly underachieving at Michigan, and basically dropped his pants and re-negotiated a contract that paid him less and lowered the buyout. Luckily for him, Michigan football took off. They ended up having some of the best years ever for them , which included a Natty. That would be about the only hope for Cal.
It also helps when you cheat like a hooker.
Makes me want to puke. 🤢
My point being when Cal leaves, he will leave nothing regardless. Cal does not and never has cared about the UK program beyond how he could use it. Granted, times have changed significantly but at least when Pitino discussed his leaving he said something to the effect that if he doesn’t leave a strong foundation for the next coach then his tenure was not as successful as it should have been.
True, I totally get what you’re saying. The program is definitely better than when Cal found it, and we have four more final fours and the national championship. I wouldn’t have any issues with him looking back. Now, next year‘s roster would probably be thin. ..
No, we're not.
Kentucky hasn't played a meaningful game in the NCAA tournament since 2019. It is 2024. A 6-year hiatus from the sweet 16 at Kentucky? That's minimum.
I think it’s better than when Billy was here, and the overall health of the program is at least the same or better. We’ve had four final fours and one national championship since 2010. I can’t say the program is worse off than when Cal got here, is what I am saying. I don’t think you really judge the overall health of a program by the NCAA tournament results over 5 yrs .
If Alabama football played in the music city bowl for four straight years, I think it would still be regarded as one of the two best football programs in the country, assuming a new coach did not run them into probation or something.
Exactly. You cannot whitewash the current state of the program because of what the coach did a decade ago.
Don't you love these little digs? I always find amusement in them.
'Anyone who is smart"
"Anyone who is reasonable will"
"Anyone who knows basketball"
How many other company heads would keep their jobs of high expectations with results like this? None.
There's no more goodwill. It has run its course. Split amicably or be hated.
We will see how much he is “players first” when it comes to saving his own ass.
Daily example of why everyone is tuning out media. Half-wit condescending puppets that are afraid to present any independent thought.
You’re in denial if you don’t think UK will be under pressure to hire him for obvious reasons. That’s your choice. And if we get stuck with him it will more than likely be a disaster.
One reason Cal does not have much of a relationship with Mitch, is because UK, for whatever reason, made Peevey sort of the athletic Director over men’s basketball. He was the person that cal dealt with, and not Mitch. To Be fair to everyone, you couldn’t get more of a difference in personalities than Mitch and Cal ….however one feels about either
