Norlander (CBS) reporting separation with Cal extremely unlikely
- Thread starter Jirao
- Start date
I am 70 years old. I started following UK when I was 8. Cotton Nash was the man. I have been with them through great times and bad. Ever since COVID it has been hard with the NBA and addressing generational poverty. I was so hopeful with this crew but I am holding on to a slippery rope. I thought we were on the verge of getting back to winning championships and the name on the front of the jersey. If this is true, other than God and family, the greatest hobby joy I have had in my life is over. It will be one of the saddest days in my life. I will be done until we have a new coach that cares.
I said the guy who posted this is a troll, not Trilly. You can easily fake something like this and take a screenshot
That’s from Trilly’s discord. It’s more likely that this is the source Norlander is using. Trilly is pretty dialed in apparently.
Ehh I’m already labeled that. And me saying I thought Cal was returning wasn’t saying that’s what I wanted. Just what I thought would happen given the landscape of college basketball and the situation at the university right now.
they love them some Calipari!
Yeah it takes a home run kind of coach to get these awesome results with our program. No one else can do that
Will not watch a single game if he comes back.
It's funny that Mitch is upset at Cal's performance, but yet MITCH IS NOT DOING HIS JOB EITHER.
Again the only person who posted this was the troll account. You can easily fake something like this…. If someone is apart of the discord go look and see
are you in the discord? Anyone can make a discord with his name and picture lol
People keep talking about there not being a home run hire like there’s magically going to be one next year.
Jon Scheyer and Hubert Davis neither one seemed like great hires. Yet they’re both better than Cal.
Truly almost anyone in college basketball will be an upgrade for UK. Cal doesn’t give a damn anymore.
No successful blue blood coach in the history of college basketball would have been fired after the St. Peter’s loss so no it shouldn’t have.
You really think a coach coming off an OT Elite 8 loss was going to be fired? There’s not a chance in hell that happens at any school unless it’s for cause.
Clown show of an athletic department from top to bottom. It’s pathetic on all levels. We are sitting here in March 2024, and all know in March 2025 Kentucky will lose in the first weekend again. Barnhart is bringing him back on the premise of changes needing to be made, hey Barnhart you damn idiot calipari won’t make any changes or stick with the small ones he even contemplates. He literally doesn’t listen to his assistants or the scouting reports. Jesus Christ this whole thing is a fricking clown show
For what it is worth, they can bring him back, but I won't be back until he is gone. Life is too short to spend it following a program that is going nowhere. At this point, John could drop his pants in front of The Board of Trustees and Mitch wouldn't fire him. Lol
UK basketball is officially UK football. I know going into every season we won't win anything that matters. We will have some good wins and some head scratching defeats and then the season will end against an opponent no one cares about.
I do think the results of the last 4 years would get most coaches canned.
Well St. Peter’s wasn’t the last four years, at the time that would have been the last two years. And I do highly doubt a guy like Self would be fired after four similar seasons.
Only a true loser wants to stay somewhere where he isn't wanted. He knows he has nowhere else to go.
I’d say 9-16, one SECT win and one NCAAT win, zero regular season titles, and a handful of embarrassing would get most coaches fired- Self included. That’s a terrible stretch for any coach.
It wouldn't surprise me to learn that a buyout was never seriously considered and neither was firing. We may learn that all along it was Barnhart's intention to give Calipari a stern talking to and nothing else.
Basically, we're going to be right back here going through all of this again in 12 months. No way will next years team have anywhere close to the talent this one did. And Calipari certainly isn't going to learn any new tricks either. Sad thing it will be a miserable year, except for those that are part of the Calipari Cult of Personality. He literally is infallible in their eyes.
I predict we will struggle to make the tournament next season and finish middle of the SEC pack or below. But, I guess the good news is that Calipari's buyout will have dropped to $25 million then so yay!

If this is the case, Barnhart needs to get out. He needs to retire and leave.
Yep. Every coach gets 1. Shit happens.
But 2 in 3 years is a sign of deeper problems than a fluke upset.
That’s what I am thinking as well. Next year will be a hybrid of 2013, 2018 and 2023 but with fan angst at 9-16 level. We likely will be right here again about this time next year. Hope I’m wrong.
A "successful blue blood coach" never would have lost to a high school team in the first place. Not to mention the home loss at Rupp this season to UNC Wilmington.
It's become clear. Cal doesn't give a shit anymore.
If that happened in a vacuum or was a one off, you're right. But it didn't. Happened after a 9-16 season.
Cal should be gone
