A possible destination for Cal after his 15th year here?
- Thread starter Smashcat
- Start date
Vanderbilt already has the worst coach in the SEC
I would have guessed Mankato or Sleepy Eye.
Preface: I do not believe this will happen…
Would be kinda interesting honestly.
Removing all bias and looking at it strictly from a Vanderbilt and Cal Family perspective it could make sense for everyone.
Vandy could get a sweetheart deal where they hire Cal for 2-5 years with no option to renew but instead with intent to hire Brad at the end of Cals tenure. Cal would take less money knowing it was setting up his family legacy for success and his final oohrah before retiring. The whole family stays together in Nashville; Vandy get a HOF coach for 1 “enlistment” and then a high risk/high reward young coach that has been groomed for the last 5 years to be the replacement.
The only downside of the scenario is on Brad’s behalf from a perception standpoint and “earned not given”

I'm still in awe of what James Franklin did there in football for a few years. So yea, probably.
Need gas money? I'll chip in!
The worst coach in the SEC just beat Cal twice last season with a tenth of the resources.
He'd make a great Elvis impersonator. Late years, bloated, intoxicated, falling off the commode Elvis.
But would his players hear him scream "Run" and "Go" from the other end of the court with the benches positioned under the basket?
I'll try to keep the door from hitting him in the ass on his way out.
You can probably hear that shit from Knoxville.
As long as he leaves here I don’t give a crap where he goes. And the sooner the better.
Nothing sweeter than taking an enemy’s family member and beating his old man’s team with him on staff
Which in a way is a good thing as it keeps Stackhouse in Nashville. His seat was getting hot, now he has a reprieve to suck more
Cal is not leaving UK for several years. And when he does he will retire.
But if he went to Vandy he would turn them into a contender. He has everywhere he’s coached.
Y’all can’t whine away the facts.

Vandy doesn’t care much about basketball so Cal would have plenty of time then to pet his dogs and watch Little House on the Prairie.
No Ragrets
He would be a great AD hire for them!
Vandy are you listening?
He would be a great AD, hire him now. PLEASE

What team are you a fan of, really?
“He’s” really Erin Calipari
So are they trying to say that Cal will be gone next year? We probably can't get that lucky. Mitchell just knows to go while the going is good.

I bet Cal ends up in Nashville at some point. He has the money to live and retire there easily. Good town. Not too big (compared to other metros)
And Cal could be an AD. Would probably be pretty decent at some of it.

What makes anyone think that Cal would be a good AD? What qualifications would he have for that at all outside of college basketball? And he's not good at managing that program where he's at now.
I think he would be a good Associate AD, specifically around connecting athletes with the community, etc. But the times of coaches sliding into AD positions is basically dead.
That's what I meant to say. He would be very good at some of the role. He is charismatic (whether we like it or not) and he's good at finding players and working in the community.
