Looks like the Tuesday press conference is still on.
Mum is the word.
Update on Cal from MJ
- Thread starter LXWildcat
- Start date
Mum is the word.
If the man only leaves his retirement for money it will not go well for UK. No "fire in the belly". Need a young, aspiring coach. Don't need another burnout coach. If he wasn't burnt out he would still be coaching.
My phone went out after Matt said he was having Nate on. What exactly do he say about Nate
No one wants to hear this, but the best thing for UK would be to hire a guy looking to prove himself. Coaches come to UK to get that first ring. The only case I can think of where a school hired a guy who already won a title, then he won another one was Urban Meyer. Pitino, of course, but it took him 10 years and it was vacated.
He definitely hasn’t been mum. He said he definitely would not be getting back into coaching.
Jay Wright rules himself out of contention for 1 coaching job
The rumors will not go away that former Villanova coach Jay Wright might return to coaching, but he insists he has no plans to do so -- even with what he

This has spiraled out of control, lol. Done following this saga for now.
Nate is a big donor I’m pretty sure is what he said.
That coach is Nate Oates but fricking bama made that hard as hell to do
He’ll be on the show tmr to say what he was going to say
Getting nervous, Baller?
Drew would kill it at UK. Heck even his Grand Canyon brother would be an upgrade
It wouldn’t make sense for Barnhart to be interested in Wright without having a commitment from him first. Ain’t like he’s coaching in the tournament so it wouldn’t be a distraction to reach out to him.
He left college in 2022. And that team was in the final four.
Kentucky has been awful with NIL. Reeves got screwed out of a lot of money,
I still think Drew would be an upgrade at this point but I couldn’t get over how remarkably similar the game played out. Also his overall #’s aren’t very good outside that 3 year run. Definitely not good enough for here. Granted it’s at Baylor and UK could propel his success further.
It would never happen in a million years but it would the funniest thing ever if they had a press conference and they announced they were moving on from cal, and bring out pitino and say he is the next coach
I would be disappointed if MB didnt call Jay's agent on Thursday evening....or honestly, after last season. MB always has to have a list in his pocket at all times and for all coaches. That is just reality. I am sure he has one for Stoops.
If Jay is and has been a hard no I doubt his name would even be floated.
its mind boggling. It’s battered wife syndrome.
Hit me again Cal, and this time put some stank on it!!!
Did he? He’s the one dude who deserved his 💰. That’s a shame because that will spread in recruiting circles.
He would guarantee maybe 1 more win per tournament than Cal, since he hasn’t gotten past the round of 32 the last 3 years. Would be a terrible and boring hire.
Of course you would. Sejonsey is in total agreement with you. Congratulations.
But NO. Just NO! Time for Cal to go.
Keeping Cal another year just means a bigger hole for the next coach to try and dig their way out of. Time to stop the bleeding of the program.

Again, I now he did last year that why he wanted to transfer but if it happened again U.K. needs a complete reset
They would hire a guy named Saul Pelphrey.
Awesome thanks. Do you know about what page it starts on? That’s a long thread.
In all honesty if we can’t get Wright or Donovan, Pitino would be my next choice.
I like Florida Coach he is young and is looking to be a good up and coming coach but I don’t think Kentucky can hire him at this moment
Right now, most Kentucky fans would take that improvement over the current crap we are getting from Cal in a heartbeat.
I am hoping Cal is gone, but I hope I’m not getting excited just to be let down lol 😂
That he is
And if by some miracle he were to say yes to us I MAY just run nekkid through this forum
Jay Wright’s coaching resume doesn’t need to be belabored, but it matters to me that he coaches for Team USA in the Olympics.
I feel like that’s a “made man” thing.

That was February 25th thoughHe definitely hasn’t been mum. He said he definitely would not be getting back into coaching.

I think it unlikely …but then again I don’t think Calipari is going anywhere
This is coming from a user on another thread you can go read it, but this is what they did to Reeves and another reason Cals ass needs to go, quote below…..
“At the end of last season once he was the last senior left on the team(that hadn’t moved on yet). We made the decision to offer him 100k to return/sign autographs. He was trying to find other places to go. I wanted to make the offer. Contacted an assistant.
When they didn’t take us up on the offer we just figured Reeves declined. Later this year we found out he was never presented with the offer. When he was out on his own looking for small 5/10k deals to get by. Dropping 20 a night scrounging around for small deals when they had one. That would have helped all year live a pretty good senior year.
Can’t even imagine this season without Reeves now.”
