What would even need to happen for Cal to get canned?

[IndyCat1995]

Seriously. I feel like the only way we let him go is if he shoots someone in broad daylight. But even then idk.

Just feels like we are stuck with this SOB until he decides he is done.

Is there a realistic scenario where we let this a hole go this year?

 

[UK90]

An extra $40 million or so would need to be found to pay his buyout. That simple. UK can’t financially afford to fire him right now even if we want to.

 

[Cawoods_Ghost]

Based solely on his contract, no. There’s virtually no chance he would be fired.

 

[Jimerussell]

He could literally slap Mitch's wife in the face with his pecker and not get fired.

 

[UKMKG]

Fans step up and demand a change. Make his life miserable and DO NOT GO TO GAMES.

 

[Boyd94]

Does he have a just cause in his contract? If so, lets find out what it is and act.

 

[fredmanthecatfan]

He won’t get fired. He needs to be encouraged to quit.

 

[phyrekat]

Maybe it's time to make him so uncomfortable that he wants to leave. Every time someone sees him out in public they could let him know how much we still love him. Extreme? Yes. But the man has absolutely declared war on BBN and is purposely tanking this program. Make him and Barnhart so uncomfortable that they don't want to be within 2 area codes of Lexington anymore.

If there was enough of a drop in attendance that the media picked up on it, that would probably force him to resign or “retire” into his ambassador role.

Thanks brainfart

Might as well, he already slapped Mitch with his pecker

 

[wildcatglenn]

Unfortunately this may get very ugly before he leaves

This… no one showing up is a clear message that his time here is over. I just wish our fans would do it.

 

[wildcatglenn]

If someone has dirt on Cal, this is the tile to use it

 

[JerseyCat84]

He would literally have to murder someone on campus.

 

[buck8113]

I am done no more UK games for me season ticket seats will be empty

I prefer the go to games and boo him strategy.

Not going to games will just be used to blame the fans for not caring enough.

Booing sends the message loud and clear: We care and we want you gone!

May? It's already the darkest age of Kentucky basketball in the last 30+ years.

Even BCG wasn't this bad

 

[U Go UK]

Cal wants to be canned. He wants the ridiculous buyout.

How about just booing him any time you see him.

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

Like tuna, or just fired?

 

[rick64]

Fans stop showing up to the games. Boycott them.

 

[TriCountyCat]

Someone nailed it, Cal wants the buyout. He wants fired and it clearly shows. I put more though into mowing my grass than Cal has with this team.

 

[yabbadabbadoo]

When people decide to quit going to games that will do it.

 

[Catfan2226]

#emptyrupparena

Bingo

 

[shockme76]

There's nothing the fans can do except not go to games. An empty Rupp sends a message but that's about it. Another bad season and early exit from the tournament, if we even make it, and at least the media will be on his ass too. If and when he does leave, Barnhart needs to leave with him.

 

[seccats04]

Another Joker revolt is near.

 

[wildcatsincebirth]

Remember when he came here and we were all worried he would have us get NCAA sanctions? We really need some sanctions NCAA find something

 

[wkucat88]

He could literally slap Mitch's wife in the face with his pecker and not get fired.

That's probably what got him the lifetime contract.

 

[Jimerussell]

If we haven't reached a state too apathetic to do it.

 

[fredmanthecatfan]

There need to be For Sale signs in his yard.

 

[blue cincy]

I agree with those stating do not go to games. DO not call into his show, do not acknowledge there is a basketball team at this point. It is hard on the kids but if you want a change that is going to be the only way. The man has lost this team, he has lost his mind and he has lost the love of this basketball fan. I do not care if we win out from here. I will not watch. I did not watch tonight. I would put on my Spectrum guide and see the score without changing the channel.

 

[Blueworld_3.0]

It won't happen but, attendance for the UofL game needs to be about 2500 max. Unfortunately, there are so many that go to games to be seen and gossip about their neighbors for that to ever happen.
But, I will say this...when, if EVER we see a majority of the lower bowl empty, then there may be a change coming. Those people contribute big money to the K Fund and donate big $$$ to the program.

 

[WildmanWilson]

Hire some hookers for the players.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Probably if he is caught cheating with hookers or cheating to get players (NIL makes this almost moot IMO), or sexual harassed someone, etc.

He has clearly lost it mentally so maybe he retires due to health reasons.

 

[catben]

This is it in a nutshell.

I don't see ANY booster coming forward with this type of money to pay his buyout.

 

[Cawood86]

Barnhart needs to go too. What a joke this program has become.
