Caliparis possible departure won’t solely be based on

[cawoodsct]

Wins and losses.
Many other factors are involved here and I think most of you have heard them.

That may be the thing some outsiders won’t completely understand.

If Barnhart wasn’t a damn idiot and offer this fraud a lifetime contract then this process and decision would be a very easy one

What besides money?

What other factors do you mean? Seems like everyone is tore up about wins and losses to me.

I read a few comments on Facebook last night from a guy who said he was hired by UK to do some work at an event Calipari was hosting and apparently the coach was publicly rude and condescending to him. Guy was not a fan. Lol. No idea if that happened but, it was claimed.

However, I suspect what the OP was talking about is Calipari's relationship with Mitch and donors.

No kidding. I think most everyone understands that.

If Cals departure isn't based on wins and losses, it should be.

Positives like he gave a coal miner 2 tickets to a game or negatives like insults BBN on a constant basis ?

Things change, you never put a university or company in a position that you are stuck with someone when that change takes place, Mitch of all people should know this.

 

[crestcat]

How about he donate his salary to charity the rest of the time he is here, he’s not going to earn it anyway.

This shouldn't surprise anyone and I have heard similar stories like this that even involve the schools biggest boosters. Cal is JERK to anyone that doesn't kiss his _SS!!

The biggest problem Cal has is he has BURNT all of his bridges with most of the administration and boosters at UK. His arrogance and narcissism allowed him to put ALL of his future success OR failure SQUARELY on his OWN shoulders and he has FAILED miserably. So he is now an island among himself.

The HUGE contract should have made him MORE loyal to UK, but it actually did the OPPOSITE. Now Mitch is on the hook for fixing the mess he created!!!

When that contract was offered back in 2019 it should have been for 10 years, max. Not lifetime! Know what I mean?

 

[Justwantadecentteam]

It just means more, to the fans, not Cal.
We can't hide you Cal and everyone sees , that you are an inept coach and your past your prime. Do the right thing and step down and give back, to the fan base 1 last time.

Happened to me at his book signing. He was never private about his dislike of the fans honestly. He calls us crazy and Bennies all the time (did it at the book signing) and he doesn’t mean them as compliments

Like a narcissist he plays good cop/bad cop.

As an old man, a common description I have heard all my life to describe someone like Cal who become rich and famous and acts above us common folk in Ky is " he has gotten the bighead".

To me it is Wins and Losses. The other stuff is fluff.
Last 4 years, 1 historically embarrassing season, 2 embarrassing endings, and 1 disappointing ending.

It was. It’s not a lifetime contract. Been discussed many times.
