Just a loudmouth, narcissist,blowhard who thinks his SugarHoneyIceTea don't stink"The team had won a total of just two NCAA tournament games in the previous four seasons….that's not supposed to happen in Lexington."

Well, he was right about that."The team had won a total of just two NCAA tournament games in the previous four seasons….that's not supposed to happen in Lexington."

Ya, the Caliparis are set for life.He’s been more concerned with ending generational poverty this past decade…
I think Cal had two intentions when he was hired. I think at the time he had some respect for Kentucky, but his narcissism got the best of him by allowing it to be "players first"."The team had won a total of just two NCAA tournament games in the previous four seasons….that's not supposed to happen in Lexington."

He did. I can go find the YT clip.I believe this is a quote in his book, not a verbal quote. I saw someone that had a photo of a book and this statement was underlined.
He still said it, but I don't think it was during any new hire press conference.
But he also supposedly said, after winning the 2012 NC, something along the lines of "well, at least we got that out of the way", as though now he could focus on his true goal of "making" kids bazillionaires in the NBA.
Ok, I'm not arguing he didn't say it. I just thought it was only in a book. If the book was written after, maybe he just included his quote into his book, or if the book was before the quote, he just regurgitated it verbally.He did. I can go find the YT clip.
He's said tons of quotes in those books. One was he lies to the fans about injuries frequently to protect the ''kids''.Ok, I'm not arguing he didn't say it. I just thought it was only in a book.

Doesn't really matter - he said it one way or the other and isn't holding himself to his own standard.
Yeah, that's correct. I think he also said it in the 30for30 documentary.I believe this is a quote in his book, not a verbal quote. I saw someone that had a photo of a book and this statement was underlined.

Cal spends more time trying to placate Ellen to make up for his misdeeds than trying to win championships.I think Cal had two intentions when he was hired. I think at the time he had some respect for Kentucky, but his narcissism got the best of him by allowing it to be "players first".
After he won his first title an old booster straight up asked Cal how he plans to catch UCLA now that after he won his first title at a booster luncheon. Cal looked at Ellen and said, "Glad that's over". The booster was a big donor, got up and left. Then stopped his donations.
Cal really wanted a 40 and 0 team, and I think after he lost in that final 4, his care for winning completely dispersed and his focus was no longer split between winning and NBA factory.
John Robic Left.
Mitch's dumb contract helped provide Cal to have a mind set to just coast at UK to focus on his NBA factory.
We don't. Cal does.Everyone wants Cal gone but we have all saw and remember. We don’t need daily reminders of what was said 15 years ago.
We don't. Cal does.
True and to be fair when he said some things they were true. We did eat first for a while and we were the gold standard. Times change and he didn’t navigate it very well. Ready to move on but acting like NIL and the transfer portal had no impact is silly. Bottom line is he had a great team this year and they were not prepared to win so that is on him and we can say that about most season going back several years.Everyone wants Cal gone but we have all saw and remember.

It's a figure of speech.Hate to break it to you, although I love your posts, Cal doesn’t because he isn’t on here to see them.
Here's the photo. Has more impact.I believe this is a quote in his book, not a verbal quote. I saw someone that had a photo of a book and this statement was underlined.

You are right. I absolutely recall hearing him say itI believe this is a quote in his book, not a verbal quote. I saw someone that had a photo of a book and this statement was underlined.
