The last thing I see Calipari doing is TV in studio commentator. If he is asked a question he would go off on a 10 minute ramble of words that few could interpret. But ESPN and CBS just may try it.
Cal is a broken record spewing BS.
Texas isn’t the only opportunity for cal to jump at.

Cal is a broken record spewing BS.
Perfect... should have KD there already but they wasted a few seasons at Brooklyn.
If he wants to go, it makes sense to go now. He has a lot of leverage with that recruiting class in hand. If he flops with that class or doesn’t have as much momentum in 24, it will be harder for him to get a big contract at a big job.
Yes, until he loses a game then he hides in a broom closet.
There you go making more stuff up. Never said I wanted him anywhere just said where he would be.
Cal is not cut out For TV. He can't finish a sentence he starts on the same topic and under 2mins.
Another post about a dream or wish. when are people going to realize Cal aint leaving till after next year. hes gonna coach this new class coming in. then he will retire. so just get over it. love it or hate it. posting bs like this aint gonna change anything
What was his goal again for NBA players salaries? Maybe he finally hits the goal and moves on….no idea what goals he has for UK but if failure is one of them, he’s exceeded the goal.
Then say a eulogy because UK is dead
We know he's already stayed too long. But, that's mostly due to ego and a contract that he's be crazy to walk away from. If next season's team under-achieves I could see him staying "one more year" to try and regain some of his lost glory. That's the way egomaniacs think.
I agree, his stream of conciousness rambling wouldn't translate well to TV. But, he loves the limelight and has a massive ego to feed. Plus, you know one of the networks will throw a bunch of money at him to give it a try.
How could Cal “take the class with him?” They signed LOI’s. UK would have to release them. Would they, or should they?
But you’re making that up too. Did Cal tell you himself that he isn’t leaving?
Right!! 2 bad seasons in 14 years is just too much to handle. And one of the bad seasons was because of injury to the best player.
Any school with an opening would want Cal. And some would create an opening to get him.
I agree the "players first" thing has worn out it's welcome here. But his resume is beyond reproach. More wins in the NCAA than any other coach over the 14 seasons. More wins over higher seeds than any other coach over that same span. Number 10 on all time wins. In the HoF. 6 FF's and 1 title. Only 6 losses in the SEC tournament.
24 wins in the SEC tourney.
Yep, lets far that guy!!
Except when he gets on these hot losing streaks and and he just looks so pitiful and lost. His ego gets all Bruised up then he suddenly loves the sound of Bruisers voice.
If he does it will go much like Tubbys after UK tenure .
Like I’ve said before. He could be basketballs version of Lee Corso. Just be a clown and put on the mascots head . He’s qualified for that .
This sounds like wishful thinking. Lot of unfounded presumptions there and I doubt any of them will bear out. If Cal walks to coach at another school, he would not get any buyout. He only gets a buyout if Kentucky dismisses him.
I cannot see Cal going to any of the schools you discussed. I could see him going to Notre Dame, because that might work out as a better match if the Irish would be willing to him. But I can see him staying around too, because he is under contract and he has an ego.
What makes you think Cal can "take his class"? Cal cannot tell the players where to play. They are individuals. They have decided to play for Kentucky. Maybe Wagner would go with him because of the family connection, but each player would have to decide for himself whether Kentucky's next coach would be satisfactory. Some like Sheppard would stay. Some might decide to leave but not to follow Cal. Anyone who has watched what is happening this year would think twice about following Cal anywhere.
He’ll feel right at home on the set of ESPN. Like Arnold said: “Do it now!”
Keep up. We gluten.Careful or you'll create another kogeb or whatever that schtick try was... 😬
Amen! Let him take KyBass, Chattanooga wildcat or whatever his ignorant ass name is on to a different job and relocate with him. I'm sure they could use some fresh air, a new fishing hole and might make friends or run into someone who takes em seriously.
Cal could get those jerks some new gear in different colors and let em put the UK clothes away if they even have any, and let Bass change his name to TexasFishStickFan or what if the California U job was to come open and he went back out to Cali to stayed this time even tho it's not UCLA, it's Cal U so it's better anyways and with a cool name.
So Cal could coach at Cal U and he could reward his real fans by taking em all out to the deep end every weekend. Take Bass deep sea fishing and present em with shirts that say Cal U on them. I bet that'd be one happy boat of fishermen 😂. They could drank soda, catch sharks and have just shit loads of fun opening boxes of brand new Cal gear.... sweaters, Hoodies, shorts, shirts, you name it that say Cal U on them even if it's not really about the U so they could strip the U off and just call it Cal and now tell me that don't give y'all goose pimples?
What the hell will cal do if he retires after next season? He has 10 good years left and I don’t see this guy doing anything other than coaching.
Ps
When I say good years I mean health wise not as a coach.
You’re telling me if he got half the buy out and could go directly into a job making 6 mil a year there’s nothing in it for him? No more pressure. No more craziness. I mean watch this off-season if we don’t make the tournament. You remember macys comments and the reaction? That will be a rain drop.
All there is by staying is his salary, which paying that amount would offset and the misery to come. He’s already seen a guy carry a sign into rupp for cal to leave. It’s about to crash on him worse than tubby. The real statement you should make is there is nothing in it to stay. Just a negative impact on his health.
The odds he leaves are like .001 percent. Very few in the history of money have walked away from 40 million.
Nothing is ever guaranteed. That’s why even though I knew Sharpe was gone I waited until it happened to be outraged. But anybody with even a below average IQ knows Cal isn’t leaving after this season.
Too many of you have no idea how a buyout works. Listen to me clearly. It’s not walking away from 40 million if you receive half your buyout and a 5-6 million dollar salary. There is a complete offset there. Cal isn’t going to wait to be fired outright from UK for the money. His legacy would be greatly tarnished. And if he took a job UK would have cause to withhold part of the buyout anyway bc of the offset. So unless cal is going to retire which he’s not. He signed a contract to coach 6 more years so retiring is barely on his radar. If he’s not retiring then take the negotiated buyout now and go out now while you can market yourself with this class. This is a bigger no brainer than benching wheeler. Go to Syracuse cal. Or osu. You’ll probably do ok there. Get to some elite eights they will love you.
