Do we think Cal sends an assistant to do the press conference tonight?
Calipari/Arkansas Press Conference
- Thread starter TCurtis75
- Start date
I wonder how long it's going to take for him to realize he doesn't want to do this anymore?
I am well aware. They can find that out on their own.
Will Cal do the Pig Sooohey! cheer like Bobby Petrino did at this hiring press conference? Lord, I hope so. That would be internet gold.
not sure what you are talking about...It is entirely possible that 2 people came up with the same joke but I haven't seen it anywhere. If someone else said it, they obviously have a great sense of humor as well.
I suspect his Arkansas time will be short-lived
I don't know how he gets his heart into it after that goodbye video.

This is so awkward. But now he sees that 33M gone and is going to hold his nose and get as much of it back as he can. He's basically screwed himself and all that is left is how long he can take it.
I hear there were tens of people in attendance
Yeah, that's a valid question, in my opinion. I would think it would be easy to get excited for the new job, building and arranging things as he wants them, getting recruiting done, and etc. But what happens when the first negative comment comes from somewhere? What happens when the team loses and the fans complain about some of Cal's ongoing issues? He's no spring chicken, as we all know, and he doesn't NEED a job. He's 65 and could walk away today. He could go into sports broadcasting for ESPN or CBS and would probably make a mint. Why continue with the hassle? My opinion, the only reason he's gone to Arkansas is for his own pride- to prove to himself and to his doubters and detractors that he can still do it, and to rub it in their faces. So if and when it becomes obvious that isn't gonna happen, he will retire. I'm not sure how long that will take, but I'll be surprised if he's at Arkansas for the 5 years of his contract.
You may be right about all of that. It may also be the fact that he loves to coach, work with young men and teach basketball. Although this years team was the most enjoyable to watch in years, there were more negative , crude comments through out this season than ever before. Yes, he may just stay a year or two or, the move might energize him. He will not have to deal with the idiocy that comes with coaching UK. He might do a Kelvin Sampson and actually do his best work over the next few seasons. I am anxious to see who will be here next. I want them to have a homerun year. I want to see how they cope with the pressure and how they handle criticism, both justified and unjustified. Go Cats and best wishes Cal.
Looks like a bad food court. He’s hating this shit.
If that isn’t a look of regret then I don’t know what is.
Look at the stills from the plane landing and on. He already doesn't want to do this.
He looks miserable.
Brad looks ready tho. Programs yours in 2 years bud.

Wait, Arkansas? Aw shit, I thought my agent said Arizona.
Good luck to the Sam Walton Middle School robotics team at Sectionals!
Here, poochy. Come here, poochy.
(whisper from AD beside him)
Hogs? Really? You people are crazy.
i don’t see him staying very long at arkie
His body language says " I can't believe I did this at my age."
They all regret it after they leave: Pitino, Tubby, now him...
Hell, I bet even BCG has a Lexington bar or two that he misses dearly

The only way I see this working out is if he gets a killer staff; but so far I’ve seen Payne, Antiqua, and Brad mentioned for it. He has to have a full rebuild. Even if he takes all the recruits and guys from this past season, he’s going have to work the portal. I see his battery being drained come November.
Keith Smart stayed at Arkansas and Cal is following him on Twitter. Ellen's instagram alluded to Antigua going with him. I am assuming Brad will be on staff. I am interested to see who else winds up there.
Who care what he says at his press conference. It will be nothing but complete BS and coach speak. He is gone, good riddance. As the song goes, "Turn the Page."
