Yes! Please doIf this is true, can Mitch just fire his ass publicly?
I have a hard time swallowing this one too, even with Cal’s ego.This can't be real. I know the guy is dense, but damn.
What did Calipari want?Long time connections , and probably not one to come out with something bogus unless he was told by someone who’d know. Also sort of makes sense that maybe Cal figured that was the notification he was in ‘discussions’ that people have been talking about.
The question is was it before or after the talksWhile lol if true, that would kinda go against other media members saying Cal has still not told Mitch he's been in talks with Arkansas.
If Cal went to Mitch and told him "this is what I want or I'm going to Arkansas", then he's technically told Mitch he's been in talks with Arkansas.
Good question. Maybe more NIL and that practice facility he’s talked about. Maybe nepotism waived , so he could hire Brad like he is in ArkyWhat did Calipari want?
If true good on Mitch! Also lol @ Cal pulling this stunt after literally breaching his own contract.Thats exactly what he did according to Dick. He tried to tell Mitch ''heres what its gonna take to keep me here''. And Mitch said ''nah''.
It was probably more about removal of obstacles/oversight that Barney placed on him in that post-Oakland loss meeting than it was monetary. And/or related more to NIL than his salary. In other words, his demands on what it would take probably was around regaining control and pumping NIL more so than his own paycheck.I have a hard time swallowing this one too, even with Cal’s ego.
I mean, he had to know that the only reason he wasn’t let go was because of that 33 million buyout. And he’s going to use an offer to leverage for MORE? There’s no way.
I'd back barnhart at a hold 'em tournament if he managed to keep a straight face during this, what....ultimatum?Thats exactly what he did according to Dick. He tried to tell Mitch ''heres what its gonna take to keep me here''. And Mitch said ''nah''.
This is what probably happened. I think Cal's disconnect from the big money boosters and fans had caused him to lose his ability to raise NIL funds to keep the big time recruits coming in. I believe he wanted a guaranteed amount of NIL dollars and he didn't get it. I have read that that was the big request from Cal to Arkansas was a NIL of around 5 million a year (from Tyson foods and others). I believe if we get the right coach they can get the NIL money guarantee that Cal was asking for. Poor results along with alienating donors, fans and your boss caused the issues and ultimately ended Cal's coaching career at UK. Several players have intimated that they did not receive the NIL money that they were promised and I don't think it was a player issue or lack of funds, I believe it was a Calipari/donor/fan issue.Good question. Maybe more NIL and that practice facility he’s talked about. Maybe nepotism waived , so he could hire Brad like he is in Arky
Can you imagine if Mitch would have caved to his demands. I think Mitch would have been tarred and feathered.Thats exactly what he did according to Dick. He tried to tell Mitch ''heres what its gonna take to keep me here''. And Mitch said ''nah''.
Too scary to ponder.Can you imagine if Mitch would have caved to his demands. I think Mitch would have been tarred and feathered.
Anyone that has summited Mount Everest has some stones.LETS GO MITCH
Maybe, but legally speaking it usually has to be IN WRITING.If Cal went to Mitch and told him "this is what I want or I'm going to Arkansas", then he's technically told Mitch he's been in talks with Arkansas.
That's beyond audacity.Lol the audacity of an underachieving coach to demand shit
Golden should be mentioned more . He did just sign a new deal in Florida after being mentioned for Michigan or OSU jobsGabriel says that UK will make Hurley say no, then reach out to Oats and also listed Drew, Todd Golden and TJ Otzelberger as potential candidates. He is the first media person I have heard mention Golden or Otzelberger.
The balls on this guy. 😂Read the damn room, Cal. There’s no begging you back. It’s more like begging you to leave.
In no form would his hiring seem like it, but he might be the best option. He is young, hungry and can floor coach. He is not a proven recruiter just yet but seems to be on his way to that at UF. I hope we can Home Run hire but he would not be the worst safety net.Golden should be mentioned more . He did just sign a new deal in Florida after being mentioned for Michigan or OSU jobs
No doubt. Even better: what if the moves Mitch made after the season were actually designed to lull (induce) Cal into bluffing to match an offer?I'd back barnhart at a hold 'em tournament if he managed to keep a straight face during this, what....ultimatum?
Glad the administration turned him down. After the last 5 years he has the audacity to try and hold the school hostage again.…He understands that Calipari actually approached the UK administration with a ‘here’s what it’s going to take to keep me ‘ offer after hearing from Arkansas..
