Cal couldn't go undefeated

Cal is still coaching because he is on the top of his game.
Yep...fattest ass in the SEC, surpassing Pearl, who consequently took his last chance at a Final Four...

I hope the university revises his contract, immediately, IMO, MB should pay him more, maybe that will incentivize him more so. I recommend we start a GoFundMe, show him that we care and we realize he’s currently underpaid. It’s not too late, for us or him, it’s time that he’s fairly compensated.

I'm someone who wanted to keep Cal around until very recently and I'm still not 100% set on moving on, but this is a highly questionable statement. I think how he's handled the offseason so far is shaping up to be his worst moment at UK so far.
 
It probably is just about the money now. I would guess it’s at least $170,000 paycheck every 2 weeks. When you see that hit your account, probably gives you an enormous ego.
If Cal's clearing $6.5 million after taxes, which is likely, his checks would be coming out to around $250,000 every two weeks.

He makes in a week what I make in two years, and he's absolutely trash when it comes to his job. Gotta hand him some props for milking his value to the maximum. His woke daughters will be wearing mink and driving Land Rovers for the rest of their lives while possessing two or three houses each.
 
But Father Time still is. The only UK coach who knew the game was passing him by was Hall. He even said in his retirement press conference he "didn't want to be an old coach."

Cal still thinks if he can just catch a break or two it will come back.
I think we like to imagine that Cal thinks that, but something tells me that Cal just wants to get as many kids into the NBA before he is involuntarily retired. I don't he gives much thought to UK's success going forward.
 
I just hope the freshmen can make a lot of you guys look like fools. I believe they will.
When I was in third grade, I believed Elisabeth Shue and I would get married. I believed that really strongly, too. Even had a dream about it. This look always got my prepubescent little-boy blood flowing...

What Cal is doing is essentially a legalized form of embezzlement. He is robbing the school blind. UK isn’t benefitting from him at the helm and hasn’t since Pre-Covid. UK’s brand is fading and all with eyes can see it.

She played in the greatest movie there ever was. Well I guess you didn't meet her or maybe you could be married to her. You got to try. In the case of the freshmen they will try, have control of what they will do on the court.

I don't think it's money. I think it's ego. He can't believe the decline happened so fast. Happened to Rupp, Knight, Crum. How old is he now? How many people do you know at that age that are as sharp as they were 10 years prior?
 
I said ti eyars ago and it still remains true to this day. Calipari not completing that 40-0 season broke him for good.
 
Calipari is still coaching due to money and who could blame him due to mitches stupidity.
This is the whole issue. I think CCC is ready to walk, just not away from the money. He holds the only hand that matters. Show him 50 million and he's history.
 
Coach K, Roy Williams and Jay Wright looked at the landscape of college basketball and decided they didn't want to deal with NIL, constant transfers and OADs.

At some point in the immediate future, Cal needs to do the same and move on.

JBH was getting pushed out the door

Only three coaches have been involuntarily removed. Rupp due to age. Sutton due to contract violations. BCG due to conduct. No coach as ever been removed at Ky due to on court performance.

you obviously are too young to remember the heat JBH was under
he was not fired but he was being pushed out

WRONG - Tubby and Joe B pushed out for far less than Couch Cal and Rupp was 72 and in poor health.

Rupp had gout, diabetes, congestive heart issues and cancer...the man wore house shoes on the sidelines it was so bad...grab a clue...

And I feel like Gillespie would still be coaching here if he was winning titles.
