Gotta love the CLOD. No matter what Cal does, the first order of business is to piss on it. Zaybloven, CLOD great poo bah, has called for Cal to leave before the assistant has done a single thing. Cal could fart and the CLOD would complain about the color.
Bruiser Flint hired by UK as assistant

It'a also pretty telling when a crybaby fanbase like IU could not care less that they are losing Flint and many are happy to see him go.
That hire is so 2020! Cal’s recruiting and his lone Championship has afforded him a very long leash!
But anyone who can’t see at this point that Cal is riding the UK “gravy train” for his own devices, needs to take off the blue tinted mask, and get their O2 levels back up!
Bruiser will appeal to ZERO top recruits, especially in this “new” social landscape.

To be fair he was recruiting for IU and I am not sure even Calipari could get kids to go there.
I had forgot about Bruiser and Archie getting into an argument on the sidelines right before they canceled last season. We should have all seen this coming.
As long as there is a W in the win column and banners being raised, I don't give a shit how we do it.
You are insufferable. Any day you can rage against Cal or UK is a good one for you. Go away.
i dont expect him to do much recruiting. joel and barbee will do most of it.
Not a lot to get excited about here.
James Bruiser Flint will be a great addition to Cal's staff. Bru was hugely successful as Cal's top assistant at UMass. UMass gave Flint a fairly short leash after he replaced Cal. He was much more successful than all but one of of the coaches UMass has hired since and that much disliked Kentucky guy beat it out of town asap.
I was around when Marcum, the biggest sleaze bag on earth, fired Flint. I also followed Flint closely after he went to Drexel. He had some great years with good teams built around players he developed. Philly is Flint's home town and Drexel is not part of the historically important group of basketball schools in the city. Nevertheless, Drexel was a force in the CAA.
There is just no question that Flint will be a valued member of Calipari's staff at Kentucky. IMO fans will find him an interesting and effective coach and recruiter.

Ladies & Gentlemen, I present to you Bruiser Flint’s PR guy.
As his PR guy, that’s your job.
“Never hire someone you can’t fire.”
best advice I’ve heard as it comes to hiring practice. It’s why hiring friends as a general rule isn’t a great practice.

Second best advice.... First place goes to 'hire somebody you trust.'
interesting that you created an account for the sole purpose of pumping Flint.
that isn't something a run of the mill UK fan would do.
He was always the weak link on the staff. I can't think of one significant recruit he ever helped us land.
To defend anyone who doesn't like the hire,it's the fact Cal didn't even open the job up--this is gifting a friend a job without seeing who else was interested and plenty more talented assistants would've been. Cal spends more time talking about how he doesn't shave then he did replacing Payne. And let's quit with the nonsense that Payne only was the "big man" coach--he was their top talent evaluator, top recruiter, loyal to the players, and every player who exits UK talks about him because he lived in gym when they needed him and listened to them. He helped land Cal a great class to work with as parting gift, and now it's up to Cal to put in the work because he's going to have to work a lot harder now without a heavy hitter. Justus is going to get his chance to prove himself as he's the most qualified to land elite guys. Cal brought in Slice and Slice recruited like a mid level Big East guy, now he's bringing in a similar guy and only people excited at IU fans who rid themselves of him.
I'm not a run-of-the-mill anything, TC.
I have been lurking for more than a decade and the username I am using was created long ago. I just now thought that I had a perspective and the knowledge about this topic that was worth presenting.
Sorry for dropping knowledge rather than wild ass opinion there, TC.
you're dropping opinion, not knowledge. Lets be clear about that
From the sound of it you don’t know shit about him. Lol.
There’s a reason Memphis and Indiana fans are laughing at this time. There’s a reason Gatos isn’t. You figure it out.
Wait, we value the opinions of Memphis and IU fans? Really??? Interesting take. Even for you morgy.
" Trust? " Trust as in what? He has a job to do, which he will make more for in a year than a lot of people make in 10 years.
Great hire if Cal wanted him. Saban loses Assistant coaches every year and look at Alabama football. The head coach is what really matters. When Mike Miller left Memphis were they calling for Penny to be fired. Get a life and quit being stupid.
Yea, because they know the guy well. He’s a joke. That’s why they laugh. Indiana was about to fire him for Pete’s sake.
How’s it hangin James, you still trying to figure out how to post pictures?
Your post is a reason most of us on this board are laughing.
One issue here. Saban is about winning. He doesn’t care if he likes you.
Saban couldn’t stand Lane Kiffin but he hired him to get the job done and threw him away when he was ready. It’s not close to the same thing. Sagan would never hire a friend in a top role if it was questionable.
Saban will fire your ass in 5 seconds if you’re not carrying your weight.
I'm good.
One of the ugliest dudes you’ll ever see face to face.

I have been around here enough to know that you know shit about most everything there, Mr. Morgue.
It's posters like you that made me never post before now -- knowing I would allow myself to get drawn into the back and forth.
It must really hurt the feelings of a guy like you to be all disrespected by Indiana and Memphis fans. I sympathize with your profound embarrassment.
I'm done...for now, little dude.
Speaking of laughing.
That’s a strapping photo of the man who was about to fire Bruiser.
Is that a Nazi salute?
