Nohody gives a 💩 what your seed is. We care about results. You make all the excuses you want. I’ll say it daily that Cal sucks as a coach in 2024. UK and UK fans deserve better.
lol, Covid year.
All teams had the Covid year.
From a buddy.
Just a reminder, Tubby Smith got (rightfully) roasted at the end. His last 5 years though:
02-03: #1 overall seed
03-04: #1 overall seed
04-05: E8
05-06: 2nd round
06-07: 2nd round
Nobody as in fans that don't like Cal.
IMO though Mitch wants no part of it.
It's not like Cal is low hanging fruit.
It would take balls for Mitch to move against Cal.
I don't think he would want to go on national television and explain his reasons especially when the host will probably try to hammer home the counterpoint.
I also don't think he's prepared to deal with everything that goes away with Cal.
I'm also not sure if Eli would even allow him to entertain the idea.
Who is it exactly that's making Mitch's seat hot?
It can't be the fanbase with 525,000 reported home attendance.
He didn't see apathy in Nashville yesterday.
I'm sure the program financials are good.
I also don't understand the infatuation with Joe Craft as some kind of anti Cal Moses.
Never seen Craft as a rouge over zealous booster who would attempt a coup of the basketball program the way Bobby Lauter did with Auburn football.
My position on Cal is not that I'm a huge fan of his or that he is at the top of his game at the present.
I believe he should either walk away on his own or be allowed to coach out his contract.
I think thats the best for the long term success of the program.
