Here’s why Cal won’t be back.

No coach including Cal would coach where they’re not wanted. He’s totally lost the fanbase and he knows. Locally and national media are finally calling him out.

Some think his ego and the money will make him come back but his ego will be what make him no longer coach UK. The fans will be relentless on their attacks on him so much that you would here boos after losing any home games and maybe just announcing his name.

He doesn’t need the money so why go through the torment? Like some are suspecting he will reach an agreement and not the full amount to leave.

Cal and Expectations

I know I don’t post on here as much as others… we are UK and we should be competing ever year no doubt. But do we not remember the Billy G couple years or look around the country and think anyone else could do better? I expect more but Cal doesn’t miss the shots that these highly rated players are taking, he can’t make them make more effort on D. Yeah he could change the team makeup but what then? If he goes and takes this team with him and win how will everyone feel?

WHEN the new coach is hired....

And I say WHEN because the Cal era is over....will WE agree to give him a couple honeymoon years to recruit 3 and 4 stars who are not using as as a turnstile to the league?

Will you STFU when the long game recruiting strategy does not yield failed #1 recruiting classes?

Cal has created this reoccurring nightmare that does not change in 1 season.

Do you agree to give him some time to clean the stench of Cal from the program?

Mark it down

Eventually we will find out that there was something going on behind the scenes this year.

When a normally rational person does something repeatedly irrational, there is a reason for it.

Cal has not, in the past, consistently run a substandard lineup to start games and halves. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever, and no rational coach would have started Wagner and Edwards this year the way Cal has. It is irrational and it cost us games.

Therefore, something is going on that has convinced Cal that it is in his OWN best interests to start those two, regardless of the consequences. Everybody in the known galaxy knew if he kept throwing Wagner and Edwards out there, we would lose in the NCAAT. Even Cal knew that, because he isn't stupid. He's never done anything like this before in any other season except for 2021 with Askew and Boston.

So what's going on? Is he being paid to showcase those two? Does he have a figurative gun to his head?

We will find out eventually. Hopefully it isn't in a "tell-all" book by one of the players.

The clincher will be when Reed departs for the NBA. Then you know he's had it with Cal and his nonsense favoritism.

Michigan St

It's so annoying! They should not be in the tournament. It's not because of a lack of talent, it's because the did not earn a bid with their play.

Now they have nothing to lose, they know they shouldn't be in it. So they are loose & going for it. Of course, people will say because they're playing well it shows they should be in it. We'll, they're missing the point. MSU has talent but they just did NOT get it done during the season! It's bologna! Committee had some Izzo lovers & got in. Now, they may go to the final 4!

This was supposed to be "THE team"

I'm over the anger. I'm over the hurt. I know the important tournament starts on Thursday. Technically, Tuesday, but do any of us really count those games?

I've been patient. I've been understanding. I have actually been defensive in a lot of ways.

But IMO, it's do or die time. Tonight was terrible. I do love Buzz Williams ever since I saw him almost get murdered once for dancing on WVU's court after a win, so I am happy that it was at least him, but damn.

I've been on the fence for a while now. Covid was a weird year so I forgave that. The next season we peaked too early and had some unfortunate injuries so I forgave that. Last year was just...a struggle, but there was always hope of THIS year so I let it go.

If Coach Cal can't win something...hell, anything, this season, then I'm gonna have to join the haters. I know that and a buck fifty will get me a cup of coffee these days (thanks inflation...LOL) but I don't know what else to say. This is getting ridiculous.

Thanks for attending my Ted Talk. LOL

For once I agree with J. Williams and it is the reason Cal needs to go

Calipari feels the pressure and is passing it to team both consciously and sub-consciously.

Made a post before brackets came out last week hoping we'd be out west and have less fans in the stands. This is why...

Things are just tense here and they are not fixable with Cal. He cannot breakthough with players because he is shook. I think he's been shook for nearly a decade.

Anyhow, interesting debate.

Only way I watch a game next year

1. Cal is gone

Or

2. Reed miraculously comes back


Reed is a once in a generation Kentucky player, not just because of ability, but lineage, bleeding blue, etc. So if that kid came back, I would continue to support him.

Get a new coach, I’m all in.

Otherwise, I am done. Can’t fully express all the ways I loathe Cal at this point.

I could handle him being a bad coach. A bad coach with some humility, who brought in good kids but choked too much. I wouldn’t like it, but I could handle it.

I can no longer deal with the arrogance and condescension. It’s unhealthy.
