Some people on here were ahead of their time fo sho! I would have never thought they would be right way back when...
Sad that little has changed in 5 seasons with a HOF coach that built his reputation on proving the naysayers wrong. That coach we hired 15 years ago is no longer here. I was hopeful that with all of the criticism he has received from not only the fans, alumni, former players and most boosters on top of the national basketball media, it would bring back the fire from Cal. But it hasn’t.
He has lost most, if not all, of his credibility over these last 5 seasons.

It always gets brought up at this time. I tried to stay with him as long as I could, even I didn’t think it would get this bad.
I wish we would've been wrong.
Cal winning the next three titles wouldn't make us wrong. It might make me feel better though.
Sharpe should have been the straw that broke the Camels back.

Lol I read the post without seeing the date and thought you were hacked or something.
You weren't wrong. Making decisions based on hindsight bias is my least favorite thing in the world. The fact is in 2019 were were one shot away from another Final Four. Anyone who wanted Cal gone at that point wasn't being reasonable and had no real reason to want him gone.
Results since November 2020 do not prove someone was right in 2019.
Idiots looking smarter every day.
Kirk: I will always be a CAL hater, He could win 10 NCAA championships in a row. Does not make me like the guy. I did not like him in 2012, I will not like him in 2029.
I love the kids that play for us, while they are here. Do not follow after that. I praise when all the right buttons are pushed and we win, I complain when we are a lost ball in high weeds (which is far too often in the Cal tenure). I as a fan have that right. Just like the fans that follow 100% backing Cal, Mitch and the team. Does not make either fan better than the other fan.

Except that if you could see it. Cal was always going to be short because he was recruiting non shooters. 2020 and 2024 are exceptions. He insisted on the feeding the post with poor foul shooters. That's not a recipe for advancing.
I thought he was the best coach for this job but needed to reinvent himself when this thread was made. He failed to do that and we've been in a decline ever since. Just got fat and rich. I don't care if he gets a Final Four or Championship. It's time to take a hike Cal.
I will if you agree to exit this board for life if they do not make FF. Are you related to Cal? You would have to be to support him.
I’ll say it.. I think Cal is a great recruiter…average coach….and an arrogant SOB who has not won a championship in 12 years. He better win a championship this year with the talent he has, otherwise he needs to be run out on a rail
Bro he's been on the fire Cal thing for years. He's a good poster and admits that he was wrong.
He lost me at 9-16. But yeah, Evansville is when I started questioning him and seeing cracks.
Don’t sweat the thread. I made a post around 6 years ago saying let’s all support Calipari and get this right. We all want to believe he’s going to blaze the trail and be our modern goat. Some of us like you and I want to believe it badly. But it’s not coming, even if he wins some at this point the damage is done. He’ll never win to the standard again because the game has changed and he no longer has the edge with the OAD system. It’s over man.
We still have guys defending a guy. Who lost to a 15 seed, and then followed up with 12 losses and a 2nd round loss. Are we taking crazy pills? Lol, UK fans 20-30-40 years ago wouldn't support this shit.
If you’re going to bump an old thread, bump What's going on in Bardstown instead.
I don’t, I was firmly still on his side back then. It was before his total collapse at least. I’ve said many times, I really loved when Cal came and it was awesome even until around the time of this post.
Some cracks were forming but nothing that couldn’t be fixed, or so I thought. I’ve made a crap ton of posts over the years. I’m sure this is far from the first or last time I’ll say something stupid 🤣 .
Our good buddy @Jamal Mercer just wants his yearly recognition for being an early adopter and proponent of change! It’s all good.

Even though I was never a Cal Pumper (or whatever the correct term is) I made a commitment after the St. Peter's loss to hang in there for at least 2 more seasons. The next loss will be the end of that 2nd season and will free me from my personal commitment. I hope I have egg on my face after 6 games. But, with this talent we need a huge run.....NOW!!
Yes. I still have hope. Hope is probably why we still love this time of year even though it's extremely difficult to win 6 in a row.
I do have hope as well, I really like this team. I hope they get on fire 4 games in a row. Then anything is possible.
At least we aren't running Askew and Wheeler out there at point. Two things that have happened since you made the original post heheh.
And you know I don't hold it against you. Good God some of the crap I've said on here...especially when wasted/mad after a loss.
True, and his annoying and equally arrogant family fights the battle for him online
Best decision I've ever made. But, I was pretty bad. Legit alcoholic. Vodka for breakfast to 'get right'. I knew I would feel better physically, but totally underestimated the mental health benefits. Like a whole new brain and way to see life.
I’ve been here since the Tubby days when I found this board. I will always support UK and have never wanted them to lose no matter who the coach was. That being said, Cal does less with more than anyone making $9 or 10 million a year.
Also, my name is in the top left corner of this post.

Good for you, man! Sounds like it’s really improved your life.
