He's paid $9 million per year to coach the team, answer a few questions and take the heat.
He's in 0 for 3 territory right now.
Cal leaves presser after 3 questions

One day, if we're blessed to see Cal fired soon, I want @ralphdaltonfan to spill every ounce of Crapipari's BS behind the scenes so we can confirm he's the clown we knew he was.
This trend maybe more than anything else makes me think he really may leave after this season.
God I hope so. I can handle losing. I can’t handle whiny sulking losing.
I know Calipari isn't as worried about a tough question from a UK employee as he is about one from a SI writer with no interest in protecting him. It's pretty obvious Calipari deplores the media. How dare they question his ability!!!
One way is for folks to stop showing up and supporting this train wreck. Don't go. Do not go.
I agree, he gets softball questions lobbed to him from Leach and the same for the call-in radio show. When he ducks and dodges the regular press conferences and people afraid to ask the tough questions in the real press conferences, it makes him untouchable and no one to hold him accountable.
That would be my friend, not me. I just think he's an old coach who lost his fastball and thinks talking tough, hanging around the old "crew" who once helped him build his resume, would change things. I hoped it would. Recruiting has improved. The results aren't changing enough. At some point you run out of excuses.
Remember when no matter what you had going on in your life, you always had the enjoyment of UK basketball to fallback on? Cal's fallback plan is bragging about his NBA players. His goals just don't align with the goals of the program and the fans.
Not just the money. Barnhart is lazy. If Cal leaves or gets fired, then he actually has to go on a coaching search. And it's not like football where he might be able to find an OC/DC from a bigger school to come for their first HC job, he would actually have to find a worthy replacement.
This is the same guy who hired the first guy he knew was going to say "yes", after Donovan had turned us down.
If Mitch is still here when Cal is gone, we better have a committee involved in the next hiring and his boss better be involved with the contract details.
"We got an early game Saturday, gotta go", but it's Wed Cal. Also it's a 4pm tip.🤡
Calipari is a sore ass loser. If you are critical of how Pitino handles the media and excusing Cal then you are just as delusional and being a hypocrite. He expects everyone to touch the hem of his garment like he's a prophet and how dare anyone question his lordship.
Calipari was gutless long before he set foot on campus in Lexington. It’s just on display more often since he’s been at UK.
Most coaches are. That sounds crazy but if you think about it....even our football coach had one foot out the back door.
Listened to his interview with Leach.
Seemed like tome that he was talking about moral victories lol
How hard they played the fight in them etc.
This is UK we don't do moral victories.

61 years old you’d think by now he would have learned some humility. After flapping his chops Saturday night, he gets humbled 4 days later. Please, I beg you, just leave.
The entire presser was less than 5 minutes.
Of course, he mentioned our youth.
Well, Cal, you're doing it your way, with young elite players, and those players are not that good. You had a chance to load up in the portal, and you chose instead to wait it out and give guys like Livingston and Oscar time to make a decision while guys like Knecht went elsewhere.
Now, we're staring at deja vu for the third straight year.

I think so too. Leaving the interview was cowardly but I do think he cares about losing. His ego can’t handle it or the public scrutiny he’s getting.
I don't listen to him speak, and have chosen not to for the last 3-4 years. I change the channel/station when the mic is in front of him.
Didn't watch a second of the game last night, either. Textbook example of a trap game and Johnny Clam Chowdah is the absolute WORST coach in those situations. I'm done until March Madness when I expect to not see UK beyond round 2, possibly even round 1, as I spend hours watching well-coached, experienced teams (meaning, multiple years together) look like competent basketball teams.
This motherf*cker stole my joy.

Everytime Cal puffs out his chest we lose the very next game. Dude is so full of himself after we beat Auburn he went on to chastise the fans after he's just lost 3 of last 6 games all 3 at home.......... We then lose a game in which we led by like 15 sec half. What a buffoon. He's more concerned with beating "bennies" than besting opponents
I didn’t listen. Did he say that the facilities, assistant coaches and players all sucked and that it was the least enjoyable season of his life?
He was furious with the refs throughout the game, and rightfully so. The second half they called a foul on us almost every time down the court for quite some time. They went after Reeves hard. Givens said that the first half they was not calling fouls on Reeves just getting through screens. But the second half they went after him hard for that. Got him out of the game and put them on the foul line numerous times. The foul on Sheppard, he did not even touch the guy. The foul on Dillingham was very nothing. The refs was the deciding factor in this one. Just flat out cheating refs and it was so obvious.
As bad as it is to say that, only an emotional coach who deeply wants to win would say that nonsense. Cal would never care that much…
Neither is good, but I’d rather have that nonsense from Pitino (not pitino himself) than the BS from Cal. Indifference is FAR worse…
The sooner folks come around to the fact that he doesn’t care about winning or losing these games, the better they will be. We do this 10-12 times a season. He’s the ultimate double dipper. Gets paid $9 million to “coach” rakes in another $10 million or better in kickbacks for being a handler. That’s all he is, he’s not a coach, he’s a paid handler. On the way to 12 losses minimum for this team. Totally unacceptable and grounds to be fired for cause. If the AD doesn’t have the testicles to do it, then fire him first.
As long as Calipari is at UK, we will not get a fair whistle. Either he leaves or we just have to take it.
Even the staunchest Cal fans can’t defend this type of stuff. If you’re going yap like crazy after one win, you better stick around and take your lumps after a terrible loss. Embarrassing stuff from our head coach.
The most overrated, underachieving coach in college basketball. No one has done less with more, than John Calipari!

You’re supporting Cal’s undeniable destruction of our program and you think my priorities are messed up?
Let me guess, you hate Trump and all the great things he did because of his mean tweets right?
Cal’s indifference is FAR worse for a program than a coach going on an emotional rant because he can’t stand losing. One wants to right the ship and the other doesn’t give a crap.
I’d bet a TON of money Pitino has his program in better shape than UK under Cal within 3 to 5 years tops. Only problem is Cal won’t stay long enough to see that come to fruition.
When the swagster appears, the game is lost.
Swaggy feels good for 72 hours but then swaggy loses.
We need to write poems about the swagster.
Why don't you swagger your ass up to the unemployment line?

I knew it would be some shady shit in his presser this clown is so damn predictable. Why does the school continue to let this shit go on…. I mean it’s about time for that $ to be found he’s making a total joke of the UK program while still getting his 9 million a year…
What a freakin' coward. Wants to puff out his chest when they win, but typically runs and hides when they lose. Preaches his players need to be more physical and toughen up, well then set the example CCC.
I don't really buy into the theory that he doesn't want to win. You notice he didn't have his pets on the floor for the last 20 seconds of last night's debacle because he knows they don't give him his best chance to win the game. The truth is, the game has passed him by and he's no longer capable of winning at a high level so his response to that is to move the goalposts....tell you that winning isn't his priority here. This of course just puts the rift between himself and the fanbase on blast, and should be grounds for termination if our AD had any balls. Trust me, he'd love nothing more than to have the East coast media blowhards fawning over his brilliant coaching.
Calipari is man enough to take credit for a win. He can’t take responsibility for a loss… leader of young men my a**!
