I'd like all of you brilliant a-holes who are callling for Cal's head to name ONE COACH who would come to UK and do better than Cal. THERE'S NOT A SINGLE ONE. Cal leaves....we go back to the dark ages. Bank on it.
Time to move Calipari onto the hotseat.

Look if you went to go the route of bringing in 3 and 4 star players that will stay three or four years, this is what it looks like. Be happy with it if this is what you want. I prefer what we have and I love our coach. “Super” high school players just don’t always excel in college. We’ve all seen it on every team out there.
If you want him gone, provide a realistic plan. What if he left today ? What would your genius plan be?
It just doesn't matter....it just doesn't matter...hire UK's savior (The one they want) and these EXACT same people will be telling you how much they loved Cal. It almost has to be a crisis. Without a crisis they cannot justify (In their mind)......being happy...(It is a mental thing. At least a mental state...)
Cal seems to be all about helping kids reach their dreams of playing in the NBA. That's an admirable calling. He would make a great NBA G league coach.
The other problem is that are no Kentucky players on this roster. What? 1 walk on?
All these players know for the entire period of their life that they can remember is that UK gets guys drafted. No pride in the jersey.
Everything in this post reeks of a fooking idiot. The only reason Cal would leave is because of idiots like you and the dumb asses you've been talking to. Luckily for us he's a tough SOB.
Thank you. Any post that says Cal is on the hot seat or anything else in that vein makes me wonder what kind of mental state some folks have.
Barbee should have been a slam dunk hire.
He became a HC because he was the #1 recruiting assistant in the country.... not sure why everyone doesnt know this..
I'm not sure if he lost his fire or his connections or what happened once he became a HC, but he was a great recruiter at one time.
I can imagine some of these posters being around during the Rupp days calling for his job From 58'-59' season to the 64'-65 season.
Honestly can't comprehend them. UK went 32-6 last year and lost on a last second shot to eventual champ. The way some are on here complaining, you would think it's been years since UK made a good run in the tourney. Just mind boggling.

Sorry, but I will gladly endure a year like this (and probably next year) for the level of success we've had...Jesus people are getting so spoiled thinking this is easy...
Robin isn't a recruiter, he's cals guy that makes sure everything is running as it should he's been with him for years plus he has great hair. It's barbee and Justus that need to leave. Payne is loved by the players and does a great job. We need to get a stud recruiter to join cal like coach o especially someone that can seal the deal with bigs. Hell bolden would of helped this team Richards has only been playing 4 years. He will get better and improve but we need someone else down low who's atleast 6'9 that can help a randle/jones/ bam type guy. Pj is good but he's not the answer for a 40 min game he's barely 6'7 with shoes. Chuck Hayes had guys to help him pj not so much weynen and Vanderbilt are the only two but neither are bruisers
If you are looking for hot seats look to Pittsburgh. Old baldy is mess up there. I hope a lot of crow is chewed soon by some of these fair weather fans. It ain’t over yet this year you defeatists.
you are why UK fans get a bad rap you have no clue about basketball.
Same blue shades responded as some have when Tubby’s seat starting getting hot. Eventually, the tide turns and things happen.
Cal obviously has a few years to change the system, but rest assured, the system must change. We will not accpet NITs and players that do not lay it down for UK.

Kentucky gave him 8 million per year that's not on cal. I'm sure he would of stayed for 6 million like puke, he's set for life. It's fair to expect him to bring in the best every year which he does but he doesn't poop ice cream he's. It goting to land every stud now since every team is doing what he does with OAD/players first.
We are missing baker which couldn't of hurt us this year. I'm not saying we would be undefeated but I feel he truly was one of the best shooters in the class I bet we win atleast 2-3 of the games we lost
I never suggested it was on Cal. I was just pointing out the fact that his contract--with six more years and nearly 50 million dollars left on it--basically makes it impossible for UK to fire Cal now.
So it's kinda futile even to be having this discussion. Nobody wants Cal fired. And even if we did, we couldn't, the cost of his buyout essentially makes Cal untouchable.

Not hate, but I'd sure hate to live on the difference of what you are showing.
Comparing Cal to Tubby is ludicrous. Tubby didn't get us to a FF in his last 9 seasons, didn't enjoy the job and quit. Before this season Cal has taken us to 4 FF in 8 seasons and loves this job. Cal is a great recruiter who will continue to get great players as long as he is here. Starting over every year is a difficult side effect of the OAD era but an off year like this one will lead to a strong run for the next couple of seasons if the past is any indicator.
I wasn't directing it at you specifically, just those that bitch and moan about what cal makes there are plenty of schools that would have a guy 8 million to have a title multiple final four and elite 8 appearances in 9 years. Look no further than Indiana
Even I dont want Cal gone..I have my pet peeves about him but Gotta give him time to work the mess he has now...I dont like that cal yells all game every game..I dont like he seems to care more about putting kids in the NBA than getting them to play for the team..I think thats whats come back to hurt Cal this year...I think he keeps saying its all about the kids and getting them to the NBA and so the kids think its all about them and not the team..
Cal is not on the hotseat now and he will never be. If you think Cal should be gone then answer one question. Who you going to get?
I’d rather hire the top high school coach in KY and root for him than continue supporting entitled brats.
And who do you replace him with? I'm going large that you are a moron.
Spoiled brats? The players Cal has recruited have been great kids. Sounds like you are watching a different team than I've been watching.
The same ones that gripe about one and dones, are the same ones that griped about Orbzut, and Sheray Thomas.
The hot seat? Are you frigging nuts? Some of you so called fans, are complete idiots, and you’re near the top of them.
Seems like a decade since the 2015 team to me though. I loved last year as my handle shows.
Why are we even discussing Cal's contract like it matters or even is within the realm of possibility that he could or should be fired right now?
Not even Kentucky has history good enough to throw him out with his record. Even with 3 NIT's.
I get pissed off and I know others do too, but we gotta ride or die with Cal.
And honestly, when you think about it, I'd rather be struggling with a guy like Cal knowing what he's capable of than struggling with any other coach I can name that's a possible hire.
Let Bill Self get put out first round this year...........Lawrence sees Cals name as a free agent.......lol.
Think Kansas boards would be talking about it?

How is it overreacting when this loss coming Saturday will be the first time in the history of UK basketball....over 100 years .....it will be the first time we have ever lost 5 straight SEC games?
Agreed. There is a lovefest with CAL on this board. Go look at Facebook and Twitter and you will see a very pissed off fan base. The theme is common, we are done with players that don’t care. The theme is that Cal’s coaching ability is exposed on a level playing field.
This Saturday is an extremely important game. Loss is most likely sn NIT unless UK can pull off a win at FL
