Calipari prediction

[BigKari]

Arkansas finishes SEC schedule 3-15 and does not get selected for NIT. There is a “mutual separation” and Cal states that he’s mulling retirement, “probably will, won’t say I won’t ever coach again”. Does a year or two in the studio until UMass opens up for him. He coaches there as a hobby for 4-5 years, it’s a total ego stroke job where Cal gets to lose in relative obscurity.

I think he does a second year at Ark. then your scenario might be correct. Didn’t Cal at one time set an age when he would get out of coaching?

 

[UKWildcats1987]

With his rambling idk if he would be good on espn or cbs or not. Then again, espn employed dull and boring bob knight and equally awful Jim Calhoun so anything possible. I won't be watching regardless.

Still can’t believe he sported a blue blazer lol

 

[MonsterMash79]

Or maybe he can be Ricky P’s assistant 🤔

I don’t think he’s capable of the prep necessary to be on TV. He’s barely on and we already know what he’s going to say every single time. Make it where he needs to be on everyday and he’ll seem like a literal broken record.

Dude can fill dead air and sometimes that along with a recognizable name & face all is they care about.

He needs to be the basketball version of Lee Corso . Act like a buffoon and put the mascot head on at the end . He was made for that role .

Maybe. Those salaries are dropping and the talent pool is ever expanding. I could see him on SEC network though I guess. I always thought he should have left here and ran the SEC. Better fit for him.

I think he at least does 1 possibly 2 years at Arkansas just to get Brad some experience in his new assistant role.

Now if someone gives Brad an offer to as some type assistant roll on their bench. Cal will retire right after.

Then again if Cal has a 2nd terrible year at Arkansas they move on from him.

How many years will it take before there is not a single thread about Cal? Early this week there were 4 going at one time. At least so far today this is the only one.
He lives in so many fans 🤕.

He left....don't care what he does...he left is what I care about

Probably because you can’t be associated with someone for 15 years and then just magically forget like it never existed. It would be weird if we never thought about him.
You better believe we would be hearing about how this fanbase wrongly ran him off if he was having any sort of success.

I think it was a 2-5 year plan from the get go. So, we’ll call it 3.

Cal is too stubborn to quit/retire. Especially considering he had about a milly/year golden parachute retirement plan with UK.

To pass that up just to retire a year or two later would be the dumbest decision ever made by a coach.

I think he’s going to collect another top class or two, put some Arky players in the league, and make a little noise.

This season was rough but that’s the nature of the cycle now in nil/portal era. He could easily have a big dance squad next year.

His ego won’t allow him to go out on a season like this.

Secondly, he’s not going anywhere until he sets Brad up somewhere. Coaching, administrative/operations, etc

That would be the cue I look for. When Brad gets a gig somewhere doing something. Then we can start looking for Cal to move to the booth, advise/consult like K and Saban…USA basketball, league, shaping what CBB does in the new mega conference semi-professional era…

What ever, just glad he is gone from UK. The guy made enough from UK to retire very comfortably.

"won’t say I won’t ever coach again”

When did he ever coach?
