CBS Sports’ Norlander says he believes Cal is done at UK

[Cawood86]

Can’t get it to link with the site issues but on the postgame wrap up show CBS does he says it’s been widely discussed in the industry that this was it for Cal at UK. And given the way it ended tonight he said Cal has coached his last game at UK.

I sure hope so. No point in even waiting. Nothing can be said to even come close to being a logical reason why he stays.

Cal ain’t quitting.

Playing his best players from the tip would be a great place to start

 

[TankedCat]

Dude it was time for this six years ago. It is now way past time for his carpetbagger ass to GTFO of the bluegrass.

I agree, but we're counting on Cal's humility to do the right thing

Does Cal strike you as a humble guy?

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Man, if only it could have happened about 3 years ago.

Hope you can cry yourself to sleep on your pillow tonight, you apologist for failure.

Shaka Smart maybe?

He couldn’t handle Texas

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Torres live on utube saying the same thing right now

Cal ain't going anywhere lmao

Who do we hire pitino for a few years to turn things around then let him hand it over to whoever?

It shouldn’t be his choice. It’s time to move on. Let him go coach somewhere that doesn’t care about winning ball games.

 

[Fox2monk]

Start with Hurley and Donovan and the second tier is Pearl or Oats…but what we need is a damn contract with incentives instead of straight pay the way it should’ve been all along! Such as a huge bonus for SEC titles, fonal4s, NCAA titles etc…

Offer Hurley 20 million a year.

I’ll drive to Waco and help Scott drew move here at this point

I agree. But I was hopeful he would negotiate a buyout.

... is that what coaching looks like?

If anyone takes up for him they are definitely a troll. I’m not buying it now that anyone that defends this is a fan anymore

You go to Waco. I'll go to Connecticut.

I wasn’t planning on quitting when I got fired either. It happens.

 

[rob_47]

Throw $12 mil a year at Donovan.

Ship has sailed. I would rather go after Pearl. I like how energetic he is when talking about Kentucky. I think it would be a good fit.

... "carpetbagger" is so true. A lying, self-serving, narcissistic, carpetbagger. PROGRAM FIRST.

If we had any shot at getting Dan Hurley I would get in the car with ya, Drew is who Kentucky is getting if and dear lord please I beg of you please let it be Cal’s last game tonight

 

[SophiesDad]

Pearl would win Kentucky #9 within 4 years

 

[meteordealer]

Cal ain't going anywhere lmao

Just like his post season results.

He always has something like that to say after every season. This is him playing politics. He doesn't give a shit.

 

[bbncal02]

Except to shit in a handbasket along with this program.

 

[chattanoogawildcat]

Bring in Pearl or Pitino. Won't happen but would make an immediate impact.

 

[WildcatforLife1965]

At this point, it’s more important to get this asshole out than who takes his place. Unlike that commuter school down 64, this is a true destination job. It starts with getting rid of the problem.

... please stop with Pearl. Once you take of the earrings off and rub the lipstick away, he's still a pig ... a sweaty one.

Please God let this fraud leave. Please.

 

[kats23]

Unfortunately nobody out there excites me as a replacement.

Cal’s shelf life is expired at UK. Need new energy and culture

I’m willing to risk a “Billy G” hire for two more years instead of 2-4 years more of Cal

 

[BBNinSC]

Donovan isn’t coming. Hurley isn’t coming. Bruce Pearl is the perfect fit. Would crush it here. Too bad Barney sucks at his job too

I’m nervous about the next hire. Pearl is the best option right now.

 

[Cawood86]

Somebody, anybody, just not Cal anymore.

 

[crawfords corner]

Good. GTFO Cal!

This is the TRUTH! Even the most dominant freshmen 5 star recruits struggle against average older players. Muscle has so much to do with it.

uk basketball needs what this nation needs - administrative overhaul.

 

[Wildcats1st]

He certainly didn’t sound like it on his post game interview on CBSSNHD . Lots of talk about providing wealth to families of future players. Said he may look at bringing in more experienced players but said he did that with Tre and Reeves . He has ZERO intentions of leaving on his own.

Maybe he’s bringing them to Michigan or wherever would love his clown show

Yeah I don't get down with judging people like that. At least he respects the history of Uk basketball and understands the fans desire to win. I think we would still get good recruits with him and he coaches his teams to have an edge.

 

[ukcatz12]

I was able to give him the benefit of the doubt for the 9-16 team as a fluke after COVID year.

I was able to give him the benefit of the doubt of a couple years of early round upsets, it's happened to all the greats.

But I cannot abide this one. Time for new blood.

Same here. My stance was to always give him this full year to see where things stood. Your first two points are still accurate even though this season ended like this, but it's time to find someone new.

For the love of God enough with the creepy stalker Donovan infatuation.
