The only seasons that weren't standards for UK or Cal were post covid...thats a fact.Im randomly going back 9 straght seasons and he wasnt up to UK standards or the $9 million a year we paid him.
Not good enough to win against Bo Ryan when he had two NBA teams against Ryan's 1. That is the power of in-game coaching and Cal does not have it. Look at this years roster management, he's either lost it or paid to lose. Not remotely acceptable whatsoever, not even close.Past 9 years? We keep extending this thing when it just isnt true lol. Yes the past four years have been bad (starting with the COVID year when all the Blue Bloods were horrible), but if you count his last nine tournament appearances that would include:
1 Final Four
2 Elite Eights
1 Sweet Sixteen
Most any other schools would be ecstatic with that in a 9 year period. The last three years specifically were unacceptable, but to act like the guy wasn't as good as any up until the 2020 season is just a falsehood.
I can't get over how she keeps calling him her roommate that's basically like saying I'm ready to divorce this asshole over this whole thing I'm just not going to say exactly how bad it isYeah they do both give off vibes that its something they just have to do now because they went so far with it. They don't seem overjoyed.
I never said Cal was the best coach in the game and I believe it was time for both parties to move on. All I am saying is it is factually incorrect that the guy wasn't getting it done for 9 seasons. He only lost it AFTER Covid.Not good enough to win against Bo Ryan when he had two NBA teams against Ryan's 1. That is the power of in-game coaching and Cal does not have it.

And are Final Fours the standard at Kentucky? After Rupp we had been to 7 Final Fours in 37 years for an average of a Final Four every 5.3 years. We went to 4 Final Fours in 15 years under Cal like that stat or not for an average of a Final Four every 3.75 years.No Final Fours in his last 9. None. Count em up.
Its not unreasonable to want better results the last 9 seasons. I didnt make him leave. I was on board for next year. John chose to call the Hogs himself and thankfully so.And are Final Fours the standard at Kentucky? After Rupp we had been to 7 Final Fours in 37 years for an average of a Final Four every 5.3 years.

Unreal expectations run abundant with our fanbase and I don't say that because I wanted Cal to stay...it was his time to go.
No offense but I hate when people double dip with the stats like that. If you make a F4 then you shouldn't count E8, S16, etc., with it. I know they do it with F4's during title game years. Just a pet peeve of mine. I prefer to say it like this.Yep. I think that was a brain fart. It was 4 Final Fours and 7 Elite Eights.
Final Fours (4): 2010-11, 2011-12, 2013-14, 2014-15
Elite Eights (7): 2009-10, 2010-11, 2011-12, 2013-14, 2014-15, 2016-17, 2018-19
Sorry about that. Thanks for catching that.
I hear you KyCatFan. I have some pet peeves of my own. Just ask my wife. 🤣No offense but I hate when people double dip with the stats like that.

1 Title
1 Runner Up
2 F4
3 E8
1 S16
2 Second Rounds
2 First Rounds
1 NIT
1 No Tournament
That's exactly what he ended with. Now if someone said how many times did he get at least to the E8 then I would say 7. Just looks like he (all coaches) get credit for a lot more if you count them all.
