NEW Official Fire Coach Cal Thread

Top targets:
Dan Hurley
Scott Drew
Bruce Pearl

Pearl as a last resort but I do think he'd win big here. Guy turned Auburn basketball into a better program than what Cal has done with Kentucky the last 5 years
 
Cal has taken 5 years off and counting. When was that new contract signed?
2019….. I’m too lazy to go look at our overall record since then but I can bet it’s not UK standards……... What would even be worse is our performance in the SEC and NCAA tournaments since the signing of that sweetheart deal Mitch gave him.

I can’t stand Cal and I agree he won’t win another title but firing him is insane.
If you agree Cal won’t win another title why is firing him insane? As a lifelong UK fan and ‘81 alum, UK will lose its hard earned..and deserved.. elite status if there’s not an expectation for Final Fours and titles. Even more so when $9mm is paid out for the coach.
 
Losing sucks, we can agree on that. But with me, it's about effort and when the coach sees no effort on the court, you bench the player. I didn't see that effort last night with the player's or Calipari.

That's why I was upset with the lost.
 
I mean, we can keep rehashing these threads or create new ones every few days but Cal is not getting fired. Not this year, not next or the next one after that.

UK does not have the money to get rid of him (if they even want to), does not have the boosters to raise the money and the only booster that could afford to do it (Joe Craft) is friends with Cal.

Like it or not, Cal is here until he doesn't want to be any longer. And 50 of the same thread screaming and yelling for him to be fired on a message board isn't going to change it at all.
Poster on another thread said he knows the Krafts personally and they do not like Cal at all. So u are making stuff up to fit your agenda. We know you love Cal. The ones of us that want him gone don’t care how he goes. We just want him to go.

That poster is wrong. Saying they do not like Cal at all is completely false. No, I don't love Cal. I'm just not obsessed with everything he does or scream for him to be fired every game.

You and others can want him gone but yelling it over and over here isn't making it any closer to happening.

False!
 
It is a sign he puts NBA draft potential over winning.
Well, that and the fact that he said that he puts players first.

Do posters here have the memory of goldfish? The very first night he spoke to UK fans, he said players first! There were roars of approval. Apparently, back then people roared approval for stuff they didn't understand. [Narrator: they still do.]

Bump this thread if & when you want John Calipari out of here​

 
I finally had to accept the fact that Calipari has been honest about his intentions of being UKs coach since he has been here. It has never changed and he coaches that way. He stated that he wanted to help make a difference in young men's life and maybe win a few national championships along the way.

He is not going to teach anything that's not done in the NBA (no zone, full court press, etc.). Winning at UK is secondary to his players making it in the NBA. He has to play Edwards so he doesn't lose recruits in the future (no other reason for him to get minutes). And yes he is a terrible coach when it comes to Xs and Os, game planning, and in game adjustments. That's why he has the worst home and tournament losses.

Obviously this is not what is best for UK but that's what we have. You can gripe about most everything he does. He won't listen and doesn't care. Once you realize this you won't need to become so invested in games until he is gone.

It will take the majority of the fan base to turn against Cal for him to leave. He has got enough money along with his ego not to stay where he is not wanted.
Cal has absolutely no place to go but the TV booth, politics, or home.

And certainly no skills to demand $9M a year salary.....anywhere.
 
Another of one these. But, but, but, this is THE official! I ain't happy either but man this fan base can turn on a dime. Cal was turrible last night, I agree. Guess I'm old enough to not let it ruin my day.

The guy that posts these is a massive troll.
 
Here’s the problem. Apathy has set in. Uk bb is not what it was when the dynasty defenders ran tubby out. That type of fan is a dying breed and being replaced with participation trophy fans. We are becoming a middling SEC bb program and that has been enabled by cal, Barney and this new type of fan. It’s a lead weight for a tradition.

We can whine bitch and complain but cal is here to stay unless he retires we paid the piper and like a whirlwind it's come back to bite us in the ass I wanted this clown gone when he kneeled on our flag in Florida not a cal fan but I love Kentucky
Yep I know lifelong fans that no longer watch or care once he knelt. He has no integrity and no understanding of the lives that were sacrificed for our freedom and therefore you always stand. I live in Indiana and no longer wear my UK gear because I’m ashamed and don’t want to be associated with someone who disrespected our country. Look forward to the day I will gladly wear it again.

Because title or get fired is insane. That’s what the media says we are.

This is the most bi-polar fan base in all of sports. When we are winning you people act like we are Golden State. When we lose, you act like we are........UofL. Teams have off nights, and playing on the road is always difficult. It happens. Get over it.

I was hoping to get a response from you regarding my request on what losses are acceptable to you. It seems you’re quick to label people.

Expecting a title after 12 years without one is insane?
What’s insane is how many of y’all sing songs think firing him is actually realistic. So threads like these are the equivalent of a toddler throwing a tantrum. This thread will now serve as a toxic breeding ground for infighting that will get reopened after every game win or lose. Eventually it will get locked because our online fanbase is emotionally incapable of discourse. Just like the 3 previous threads of the same title. I’ve just told you the future.

Don't forget the endless number of Edwards threads. Losses are gonna happen. Sure I'm upset at our "model" but it's just not worth getting all unhinged. And you're right. He isn't getting fired so those threads are rather pointless. I do think, however, that are are more than a few coaches out there that can do better with the talent we usually have at our disposal.

Your unflinching support of Cal is hilarious

Our issue is Cal continuing to play Edwards
