The more concerning part of this tweet is he's only inserting himself for a small part of the blame before making it about 5 others that need to do better.
Then to the other tweets are the guys saying they weren't ready.
That's on you Cal. If you're going to call out an individual on social media because you don't like what they did then have the balls to say you didn't have your guys prepared and take ownership to fix it. Not this bullshit of needing to find fighters so you can keep the heat off yourself.
Isn’t this the second game where we were blindsided by the concept of a team shooting threes? Maybe Ga Tech was the other?
Cal can just go ahead and officially drop the "Players First" BS now. Surely he doesn't actually think the best way to prepare Olivier Sarr for the next level is to have him backing down players like he's the second coming of (H)akeem Olajuwan. Does he??
What's frustrating is watching an older stubborn coach like Saban reinvent the way he plays the game because it's archaic. Cal can easily make the change but that 2nd half last night was the most frustrated I've ever been watching a game. It's not like we're hapless, we have some players sitting, and i mean sitting, on the bench.
Really thought we had an outside shot to get back to .500 this year but I dont see that happening because of how awful and embarrassing of a team this is. Shame. Likeable players, they dont seem lazy or disinterested. They just arent good. And they certainly arent well-coached.
You have to wonder how ugly this is going to get. Cal's value to be an NBA coach is completely gone. Obvious he doesnt want to coach that style of basketball anyway. There arent any other more prestigious college jobs and he and his family have too big of an ego to admit failure and move on to a lesser job. So he's here. Dragging us through the mud with him.
Oates and Greg Byrne are seemingly thick as thieves so it would take a lot for him to leave UA at this point- but he's going to be a really good one, wherever he is.

He’s becoming a modern day Denny Crum. Last night gave me flashbacks to December 1990 when UK played UL at Freedom Hall. Denny Crum was stubbornly bent on his high post offense and Pitino rolls in spreading 5 guys out in space and everyone on the floor for UK could shoot the 3 and the Cats rolled with less talent.
Did you just say it would take a lot for Nate Oats to leave Alabama?
lol, okay.
lol, okay.
Saban hires people that are good at their jobs and provides them all the resources to succeed. He just won a title with a recovering alcoholic that was run out of Southern Cal in shame and will be taking over his own program next year. It's not a coincidence other programs want to poach that success. Even said before the game Monday, everyone needs to show up and do their job. That's empowering those around you.
Cal's leadership style is as antiquated as his offense. No one is coming to take Cal's assistants. They're only as good as he allows them to be - which seems to be a ceiling of how much micro-management they can take.

Saban has become a kingmaker with his offensive coordinator hires, too.

That’s true, but if Bruiser was coaching last night, we would’ve been hooping’ and running with Bama. Maybe we wouldn’t have won, but we would have tried, and Dontaie would’ve scored 20.

Had a post locked and loaded that I forgot to send that said I jumped off the bitch bus.
Nope. Touch that. I waited at the stop to hop right back on when it came back om its route.
Something's gotta change and I don't give a flying touch about the financial implications or emotional aspect of one of those potential options.

I did. I said it would take a lot for him to leave at this point. He has stayed put in other jobs for awhile. Has a good setup here, is having decent success- and I just dont know where he would go right now. I dont think any of the top-level jobs are coming open, so maybe there would be options for a parallel move or a slight move up- but there is a lot for him to like about his current position, expectations, etc.

Hate to say it but starting to think SAE was on it with this comp.
Good, maybe he’ll stay there until the league gets the expansion Las Vegas team up and running, hire Cal with full control, he can give Logo Brad an assistant gig (Brad fits Vegas perfectly) and Mitch makes one call to Oates. Done and done.
Get off your ass Adam Silver and save us!
Interesting grift Brad has going on using the Kentucky name to hawk puke-pattern shitthreads while bad-mouthing the fan base that begrudingly accepted you because your dad was your only ticket to ever seeing a D-1 court.
Like father like son.

Put me down for a few of those used, $100, ugly as shit t-shirts Brad!
I could go on about the absurdity of this rationale but really, at the end of the day, how is this not seen as preemptive resignation letter?
Clearly with a response like that to a complete ass kicking, he's not going to change. So if you're Barnhart, what choice do you really have, other than delay the inevitable.

Cal's not Denny Crum. He's Darrell Royal. But if Darrell Royal were still alive, employed by Texas, and running the wishbone in 2020.
How should I be handling the loss and bigger picture, a referendum on how antiquated Calipari’s offensive philosophy is?
I’ll wait until I get the talking points from the Cal sisters and Ms Music City and then make certain I react appropriately.

He dresses like Turtle from Entourage. Dude had $10K+ in shoes listed for sale. Avg pair listed for $600 or more. $325 Gucci belt.
Cal coaching this sh!t brand of basketball and funding B-rads wardrobe is perfect. Just perfect.
After seeing his shop I'm more confident that this is Brad's car.
What a depressing set of quotes.
Earned Not Given.
Wanna buy my teal Gucci belt?

I've had this suspicion in the back of my mind that says Cal bolts after this season. A lot of things don't add up to that happening (Oscar transfer being the biggest) but I can't get that thought out of my mind.
I determined last night that I'm going to refer to this season as the Boston massacre.

The Boston Massacre wasn't as bad as losing by 20 at home to Bama.
One glaring difference is that Denny Crum won two titles during his prime. The other is Jurich knew when it was time and, to his credit, masterfully planned his exit.
Mitch Barnhart gave Denny a lifetime contract in 1995, basically. Bold strategy.

Not to beat the point into the ground, but the most obvious and troubling thing from last night's game and from Cal's quotes is that Cal clearly fully believes that you can win consistently in 2021 by pounding the ball inside to larger more athletic players.
You can argue that Cal has earned the right to have a bad year, you can argue that firing him is stupid and that there's not an obvious successor, but we have a coach who can't win unless that changes. We might not even be competitive again until that changes. And there's no reason to suspect even the possibility of change is imminent.

Pretty underrated topic from last night is just how scholarly John Petty has become in his long tenure in Tuscaloosa. Clearly he's knocked out a bachelor's and a master's degree by now, but where does he go from here? He gonna pick up a second master's degree, or start on his doctorate and go into teaching? Always pegged that guy as a career student type, and he's proved me right.
Where is he going to go? Not many places pay what we are paying. No NBA team is coming for him.
Can we just NOT with the Brad stuff today? FFS.
Probably open an Etsy store and start hawking baggy, sweat-stained suits and game-worn athleisure online.
Like father, like son.
He's not going to bolt imho because there's too much money on the table thanks to Toast.
But that family certainly has raised some mouthy offspring who spend too much time on the internet.

(makes a mental note that if/when, he's ever invited over to Hankshaker's house, to avoid the ottoman...)
I don’t think Brad is Ellen’s. She is such a sweet lady, and doesn’t deserve all this.
