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.Cal has taken 5 years off and counting. When was that new contract signed?
Sometimes in the tournament.
I miss Pitino motivation.
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.I can’t stand Cal and I agree he won’t win another title but firing him is insane.
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.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.
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.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.

It is a sign he puts NBA draft potential over winning.Do we win the three losses by not playing Edwards? I agree that Edwards should have spot minutes. But that's not a sign he doesn't care about winning.
Well, that and the fact that he said that he puts players first.It is a sign he puts NBA draft potential over winning.
Cal has absolutely no place to go but the TV booth, politics, or home.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.
Just like you only show up when the Cats lose.Cal's teams seem to take lots of nights off.
Exactly I had the game recorded was disgusted stoped watching the last 9 minutes knew we was going to get blown outWish they would have told us so I could have done something else
The guy that posts these is a massive troll.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.
That one won't count. Only this one truly counts!I'm waiting on the Unofficial thread.
Because you will have to pay him to fire him. IMO thats the reason Kenny Payne still has a jobIf you know your coach can’t win then why pay him top $ and keep him
Around.
Kentucky major sports under barneyHere’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.
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.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
Because title or get fired is insane. That’s what the media says we are.If you agree Cal won’t win another title why is firing him insane?

Expecting a title after 12 years without one is insane?Because title or get fired is insane. That’s what the media says we are.
Mine was locked last yearA thread similar to this one was locked by Barney’s Buddies about 2 years ago.
Bump this thread if & when you want John Calipari out of here

The fact that we haven't won an NCAA tournament game since 2019 & we aren't even on NCAA probation is totally unacceptable. Having a team of shooters like Grady, Mintz, Allen & Tyty & then as a team you go 5 for 35 from 3 point range over your last 2 games is embarrassing.

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.
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.Expecting a title after 12 years without one is insane?
Anyone with any affection for the UK program at all will agree with this. UK will never with another title with CCC at the helm!
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.What’s insane is how many of y’all sing songs think firing him is actually realistic.

Our issue is Cal continuing to play EdwardsDon'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.
