Here's a copy-and-paste from the Athlon website:
Kentucky Basketball Gets a Bailout as Hogs Call John Calipari
The Hall of Fame coach won a national title with the Wildcats but leaves amid the sting of another early NCAA tournament ouster.
John Calipari, champion turned charlatan, took the easy way out of Lexington. He chickened out of a challenge and fled for the chicken money, abruptly leaving for Arkansas with his tail between his legs. The cockiest man in college basketball tacitly admitted he can’t fix what he built up and then broke at Kentucky.
Make no mistake, this is a voluntary demotion in terms of career trajectory. He’s leaving a golden job for a golden parachute, with Tyson Chicken magnate John Tyson helping broker a lucrative five-year deal. Calipari is going to a place that does indeed love basketball, but is not on the same plane as Kentucky.
I agree completely with this assessment !
