88? If so I’d say grab it and ride it out. It would be worth a ton in restored condition since they didn’t make them.They don't employ Mitch Barnhart.
A even better question. Aggies fans revolted when they were about to hire Mark Stoops. They retracted the offer. UT fans revolted when they were about to hire Greg Schiano. They again, retracted the offer. UK fans are pratically dropping dead from hearing news Cal might be back. And our AD is ''aw shucks, Cal. You got me, I'll give ya another year''. In other words
''Hey, Mitch. I got this 1988 volkswagen beetle. 5,000 miles, and runs like a dream. She's yours for 80,000. What do you say"?
If Mitch doesn’t want to do his job he should resign. He’s overseen our “gold standard” basketball program become a damn clown show
Basically thats what Matt Jones said tonight. Cal would have been the first coach in history, with the record and resume he has, to be fired for not winning enough.
Not really. Joe B Hall and Tubby both had a national championship here and were pushed aside. That's a silly statement.
Also, Cal has more over all wins, tournament wins and final 4's, so no that is not a silly statement.
Football is big $$$ and big business. Those programs didn’t want to take a chance with a risky hire. Also, we did fire Joker Philips especially after the fans quit attending.
I feel that's not a very good comparison. Saban won 7 titles, 6 at Bama along with several football final 4's and championship runner ups. I think he had alot more get out of jail free cards than Cal does.
You’re probably right. I just thought if there was one school where the basketball fanbase would have some stroke would be here, but I was mistaken.
People stopped going to games and Joker was fired. Okay, fans, you know what to do (or not do).
Considering it will probably take 50 million dollars to transition to a new coach. That next coach better be a the right one. So, I can understand his reluctance.
Next year the buyout is 25 million, so it’s still gonna cost that much. Every AD has a list and it’s their jobs to make the tough decisions, apparently not his though. Cal has to leave sometime and a great coach isn’t gonna drop
Also, no major NCAA penalties were imposed on UK during Cal's tenure (ala Eddie Sutton) and Cal hasn't terrorized Central Kentucky with drunken rampages (ala Billy G) and about to cause a mass player exodus (again Billy G). Based on precedence with the UK basketball program, UK doesn't fire someone with a record as good as Cal's. Now, urging him to resign is another thing.
Make no mistake, It goes all the way up to Capilouto . As long as money is rolling in , that’s all he cares about.
But where else can you go on a Tuesday night to get the perfect lighting and ambiance to crochet that perfect sweater?
Where the hell did he say that about scouting? WTF? This dude has lost his mind. He's become a soft grandfather. He thinks he's these kid's poppa. What the hell man.
Never forget he had the 2015 team watch secretariat before Wisconsin. While they were watching film on us and gameplanning. Cal was having the team watch a movie. He took the team bowling, then lost to Oakland. What a joke man. This is what 10 million a year buys you?
Look at trends though. The first third of Cal’s run was great, the middle third was pretty good, the last third has been really, really bad. To think it’s gonna get better under Cal at this stage is delusional.
