This ain't over yet

[Cold Stout Beer]

He sounded like a guy pleading to keep his job to me tonight.

Hopefully, Barnhart has pocket aces when they meet tomorrow (a big dog ready to sign on). Donovan, please.

 

[Nuke99m]

Barnhart has a duece of hearts and a 7 of spades as hold cards.

 

[Delk#00]

lol so, I guess y'all will be joining UL fans in rooting against UK if Coach Cal is the coach next season

a 3 and a 6, probably.

 

[Catfan2226]

We can only hope Barnfart has the cahoonas to fire his ass

Clown

 

[WeWant9]

This is probably the lowest point I’ve ever had as UK fan. I’d party hard if it happens.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Barney is the Joker.

So dramatic. I'll cheer for UK next year if Cal is the coach just as hard as I always do. Nice try, though..

Really? IMO he sounded like a guy who’s not worried in any way about being fired!

And they're basically face up at this point.

 

[Imafan4evr_]

Sounded like a guy dragging his nuts all over his boss’s face to me. And knowing those two guys, that seemed like the most likely outcome all along.

It’s way over

Bro I’m telling you. Not in a jerky way either. Donovan is not happening, nor is Stevens or Wright. It would be amazing but it’s not happening.

 

[BBUK]

Uh, He's..................rich.....It gives you that feeling....

 

[FitchandMurray29]

There’s no pleading necessary. If I was him I’d rather get fired, take a cushy Jay Wright media job and have Barney make sure I keep making 6.5M the next 5 years!

 

[BBUK]

You may as well go cheer for another school, bro. This program isn’t for you

CSB is good people...

No matter how hard we root, Cal will still not win in March

I do still have hope that it's not over and tonight was just Cal doing his usual thing, totally unaware of what tomorrow might deliver.

So I'm not going to flip out until we get the definitive Kentucky response that Mitch and UK are sticking by Calipari. To be honest, if we don't hear from UK this week, that will be our answer. I can see UK and Mitch just going ahead quietly without any comms to fans or the public.

Be gone nerd.

 

[TheDude73]

Well hopefully Cal is holding a 6/2 off suit and the flop is ice.

 

[Klix]

I think there’s a chance that Cal won’t agree to Mitch micromanaging and will just leave/take another job

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

Bro I’m telling you. Not in a jerky way either. Donovan is not happening, nor is Stevens or Wright. It would be amazing but it’s not happening.

I don't see any way it happens either. Simply stating who I want.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

That's what I think is going to happen tomorrow. Mitch is going to paint a picture for Cal that will be very uncomfortable and it could then go either way.

 

[Ky_Bred_Cat]

Cal is an ass but he's not stupid. He said all the right things necessary to solidify his position over Mitch. What he said was designed to make Mitch's decision even harder.

 

[Klix]

It’s been said that some of these wild dream hires aren’t as wild as we think. Some still coaching in the tournament

 

[Coach Marrow]

He is completely trying to destroy Mitch. If Cal ever makes a Sweet 16 again, he’ll be untouchable.

 

[true blue1]

He basically said it’s his way and only his way! He slapped the taste out of Barnhart’s mouth this evening!

It's because Cal has the upper hand with the buyout. Of course, if Barney has somehow been able to come up with booster support for Cal's firing, the real winner will be UK and the fans, and I bet you a hundred bucks Cal won't be too pleased with having been fired, regardless of the payday. Cal has enough money, but being fired? Talk about legacy smasher.

 

[*CatinIL*]

The only way Coach Richard Head leaves before next year is if UK pays his buyout. I could be wrong but CRH will be back to tell us how crazy we are next season.

 

[cawoodsct]

What an absolute awkward meeting this will be.

 

[BlueWorldOrder74]

This is probably the lowest point I’ve ever had as UK fan. I’d party hard if it happens.

Lowest point for me was senior night against Georgia where it was apparent the team had quit on Billy. That was lowest of the lows. Worse than probation. Worse than this dumpster fire.

 

[AzubuikeandFitch]

Barnhart has a duece of hearts and a 7 of spades as hold cards.

He re-raised and folded

MB would fold pocket ace's before the flop....

 

[yes_takeaside]

Mitch is in the driver’s seat here, whether you want to believe it or not

Cal staying is simply not defendable. You’d have to think MB knows that.

I fully expect Mitch to do the right thing.

Cal did did his show to to plead his case. Don’t think it worked. There is no chance in Hell that there could be anything Mitch could say that would justify Cal staying and mollify the fanbase.

Pull the trigger Mitch. Despite all the bad press you’re getting on Rafters, we’re all behind you on this.

 

[Stevo1951]

He’s liable to go coach for UL at $1.00 a year, all the while laughing to the bank with the buyout money

 

[ArtLaibsGhost]

I don't see Mitch firing Cal at this point, UK fans get to suck on the big white urinal mint for AT LEAST another season. Why because Barnhart doesn't give 2 shits what our fans want or what our tradition demands. He has screwed up the crown jewel of Kentucky and damn him for doing so

 

[Blue Bigfoot]

lol so, I guess y'all will be joining UL fans in rooting against UK if Coach Cal is the coach next season

I guess you think 95% of the fan base wanting change are Louisville fans. Louisville fans would like nothing better than our slow sinking of the program to continue under Cal, just like you do apparently. So what can we conclude from that? You are either a line bearded troll, or another one of the flying monkeys flying out of Mitch"s rear to this board to attack dissenters. Which is it?

 

[Dontworryboutit23]

I think there’s a chance that Cal won’t agree to Mitch micromanaging and will just leave/take another job

I hope, because him literally saying tonight I’m not changing should of got him fired the minute the show ended
