Does Cal already have a new job lined up

[BBUK]

I don’t think Dilly ever plays here. And I’d almost bet another in the class stays hurt most of the time or flat out doesn’t play. Maybe doesn’t come either.

This ship is sinking fast.

Darn you!

 

[LmdCat]

As the press gets worse on Cal, the chances of his prize recruiting class showing up at UK lessens.

 

[Girthang]

Unfortunately, there is no other AD in the country dumb enough to take on Cal. When Cal leaves UK, he will go into forced retirement.

New Mexico St?

 

[LmdCat]

There's a sucker out their somewhere...

wishful thinking

 

[megablue]

No he ain’t leaving until Wagner plays here

Next year is his 15th here.
I think it will be his last.

 

[ncaaky]

Wagner may never play a game while nursing a mystery injury. Why would his handlers want him on the court risking injury for nothing? He gains nothing by playing one year for UK.

He will definitely play, because he needs to get better. Next year’s class will have the speed, talent, heart, desire, skill and basketball IQ that we haven’t had since Covid.

 

[gojvc]

I don’t think many would. Maybe some football schools, or basketball programs that literally have nothing to lose.

Can’t see a decent program wanting to get into his messes.

I’m not saying a blue blood. But hell, Georgia rolled the dice with Tom Crean. And I’d still take Cal over Tom Crean.

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

That’s what I’m thinking.

Dillingham, I just have a telling in may he will have some out of nowhere eligibility issue or he will somehow magically be able to go to the draft, with bradshaw when there is rumblings of g-league more times than not they go. Our problem will come that they have to go to the portal to get shooters and the portal has been hit and miss for Kentucky

Whew. Honestly, at this point, I can’t say that’s as easy a choice as it once was. If I’m going to lose I want guys that want play hard and a coach that values the program, is traditional, and wants to win. I can go down easier with that than a coach that loses and says he’s headed home to his dogs.

Calipari has disrespected this program and that’s the one thing any coach can control.

Crean would be hard to swallow, but I think I might give him a shot over Calipari right now.

I’m sick of the guy.

I agree, it has all or nothing written all over it

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Cleanup in aisle 3.

 

[LmdCat]

I don’t know. I doubt it. But there would be some programs willing to roll the dice with him if he really wanted out.

When Cal leaves, I don't think he will want to coach anymore. Continuing to coach is only further damaging his HOF reputation.

 

[UNIVKY]

He will definitely play, because he needs to get better. Next year’s class will have the speed, talent, heart, desire, skill and basketball IQ that we haven’t had since Covid.

Of all those 6 qualities you mention, whose fault is it for recruiting kids that don't have the ones you listed?

 

[LmdCat]

We have no good deep shooters coming in who are known to be consistent in that skill. The class is weak, and Calipari is the coach.

Put it together people.

If they can't shoot, they are Cal's ideal players.

 

[BBUK]

Cleanup in aisle 3.

The laughable part is, Cal did it on...himself...

 

[LmdCat]

GET BETTER!!!! Have you been watching what goes on at UK? Players don't get better. This place has become Regression City USA. The place where all basketball players' skills die.

 

[bbncal02]

“Here’s your cart. Now GOOOOOOOOOO!”

 

[CatPhight]

The laughable part is, Cal did it on...himself...

Filled them full...

 

[LmdCat]

If they can't shoot, they are Cal's ideal players. Cal likes the kind of player who aimlessly runs fast around the court while accomplishing nothing.

 

[bbncal02]

As the press gets worse on Cal, the chances of his prize recruiting class showing up at UK lessens.

Cal has done this to himself. His chickens are coming home to roost.

 

[EliteBlue]

for next year? He's coaching like and throwing his players under the bus like he's already gone and is trying to get that buyout money, just like Coach Smith when he cashed that million dollar longevity bonus from UK after he'd already agreed to terms with Minnesota.

Where would Cal already be heading if this were the case? Yall got any ideas?

We can hope

 

[bbncal02]

In all seriousness it sure looks like it. Never have seen a coach sandbag like this.

 

[LmdCat]

Cal has done this to himself. His chickens are coming home to roost.

He has talked himself into a state of irrelevance. His chickens came home to poop all over everything associated with UK glorious basketball history.

Sure seems like it. Just like Lincoln Riley phoned it in at OU after getting the USC job.

 

[bbncal02]

Yep. His smartass comments and crapping on the fan base is killing his tenure.

I mean had he not done that? He might gets support for finishing strong next season. Nope. It’s dead.

 

[Skyguyb27]

I believe there would be smoke and it would come out. I don’t think in this day and age with social media etc you could keep a high profile situation like that quiet for months. But I could be wrong.

 

[BGCATFAN2012]

My guess would be a big city, low basketball expectations but big school. A school with history that's been down and can't get much worse. And hate to bring it in, but probably a liberal city. And due to his age, probably warmer climate.

Umass

 

[LmdCat]

I fbelieve there would be smoke and it would come out. I don’t think in this day and age with social media etc you could keep a high profile situation like that quiet for months. But I could be wrong.

Cal couldn't keep his mouth closed long enough to keep a secret like that.

 

[BGCATFAN2012]

Cleanup in aisle 3.

Yeah he shit his pants again

 

[SparksCat]

People defending Cal and wanting him to stay are not Kentucky basketball fans

 

[DraftCat]

I hear that Coach Cal has a nice room at Highgrove at Tates Creek retirement home.

 

[LmdCat]

He does. The problem is that they can't keep him from wandering off from the facility on UK game days and nights. He still thinks he is a coach.

John "Chickenschmidt" Calapari

 

[Girthang]

Cal couldn't keep his mouth closed lone enough to keep a secret like that.

Maybe his atty wouldn't let him know... lol

Seriously think he could keep the trap shut for 40M

Nailed it. As usual he hates shooters.

 

[catben]

We couldn't get SOOOOOO LUCKY!!!

We are STUCK with him for at least 3 more seasons!!!

I don't see ANY boosters pitching in to pay him $45 million to walk away.

 

[Girthang]

Dillingham, I just have a telling in may he will have some out of nowhere eligibility issue or he will somehow magically be able to go to the draft, with bradshaw when there is rumblings of g-league more times than not they go.

The portal hasn't been a problem for shooters. CAL has been a problem for shooters from the time fall practice starts until they leave or get drafted. Then shooters are fine

 

[TOMCATS1990]

Georgetown has 1 I repeat 1 conference W in the last 3 years. They need a shot of anything including what a snake oil salesman has to offer.

 

[Girthang]

Nailed it. As usual he hates shooters.

Shooters out him.

 

[Backer cutter]

Yes
