You know as well as I do that UK is NEVER gonna fire Cal. Cal will be here until he decides it's in his and Ellen's best interests to move on.  UK still owes him a LOT of moolah. They are not firing him. NOT EVER!!! The FIRE CAL refrain that we hear every time UK loses a game is, hence, quite irrelevant. There is ZERO chance Cal is ever fired from UK. He will eventually leave the job for other interests but UK has already told him that we want you here as long as you want to be here. If Cal resigned from coach right now he already has it in his contract to remain on in some capacity as an advisor for 900K a year.

When Cal and Ellen decide to move on to BLUER pastures is when the Cal tenure will end. He is never getting FIRED. Also, he says he enjoys coaching these young men and that he's not gonna let his critics steal his joy. He lets his guys hang out at his house and Ellen bakes them cookies. I heard him say  as little as three weeks ago how much he loves coaching this bunch and that he doesn't listen to anything his Big Blue critics are saying. He would be crazy to pay attention to all that negativity. Cal is a positive person and positive people find ways to overcome obstacles and find success. Cal will do just that.

There are nine games left in the regular season and many of them are very winnable games. I look for Kentucky to finish the regular season strong. I do think it's too late at this point, however, to expect Reed Sheppard or RDilly to stay in front of their man. Straight line drives to the basket and running around screens instead of fighting through them will continue because these guys simply don't get how to play defense. Sometimes we have to accept the fact that we are what we are. We ARE a really good offensive team with numerous very potent weapons. We also ARE the 102nd ranked team in adjusted defensive efficiency(KenPom).  We are what we are. Let's just enjoy the journey. It's only basketball. It's not national security!!!

HE'S STEALING OUR JOY!!!!!!! Plus too arrogant to listen to critics. Cal sucks and it will be a joyous day in the Commonwealth when he is finally gone.

Ellen makes cookies though. Good god, another idiotic red herring.

If you were hired as the A.D. at this very moment, would you fire Cal immediately, sometime before the postseason, after the season? What coach(who will be willing and able to take over the job) would you want to hire to replace the guy who has won 28 games a year in Lexington?  Cal has won 402 games at UK, winning 400 games faster than anyone except Baron Von Ruppske.

During Calipari’s 14 seasons at UK, no team in the NCAA Tournament has more wins (32), Final Fours (four), Elite Eights (seven) or Sweet 16s (eight).
In advancing to the 2015 Final Four, Coach Cal became one of just three coaches all-time to make four Final Fours in a five-year span, joining Mike Krzyzewski and John Wooden as the other coaches to achieve that feat. Twice at UK (in 2012 and in 2015) his teams have won 38 games, tying his 2008 Memphis team for the most wins in college basketball history.

At the end of the 2014-15 season, Calipari became the 96th coach to join the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, considered one of the ultimate achievements in the game.


Cal's critics are barking up a strange tree, indeed, for someone who has done as much winning as Cal has.  In at least two cases(Jet and Plant Boy) , the bark is more about life philosophy than basketball philosophy.  They can't stand a Big Blue coach who is TOO Blue .   lol


No CAL is doing 10000% what he was hired to do.












Fire Cal.

UT fans, by a vote of 95% to 5%  would trade Barnes for Cal in a heartbeat. Read their boards. He is criticized by Orange fans , almost as much as Cal is. They see him as a loser when the calendar turns to March. He's a very close friend of Cal's. Maybe his closest friend in the college game. You wouldn't like him, either.

So what you're saying is if we traded coaches, we'd both get f@cked.

Then, explain to Jet that Cal wasn't hired to win games. Jet mistakenly thinks that was Cal's job description. Most everyone knows Cal's #1 job is to make the university lots of money. $$$$ is the bottomline of all bottomlines, like it or not!!!

What has Cal NOT done or NOT doing that UK hired him to do?

The Field of 68 said that "Kentucky has boys but Tennessee has MEN." That was kinda what I thought as I was watching the game. UT is just much tougher than Kentucky. I think the boys/men contrast is fair. We are just way too soft.

You are crazier than 40 kinds of hell.
THIS IS 2024. Your brain cannot process facts. You operate only on emotion. Emotion on your feelings, if you like someone based on their worldview that your brain has been hijacked to adopt. I don't give a damn about politics when it comes to UK basketball and never have. RESULTS ARE ALL THAT MATTER ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU MAKE 10s OF MILLIONS.
All we get from you is Donald Trump Joe Biden Taylor Swift horse sh!t when we keep losing. Not to mention blaming the players.
It is the definition of BAT. SH!T. CRAZY. I wouldn't put you in charge of mowing my lawn. If the grass grew up to my knees and I complained you would just say I didn't like Taylor Swift or Kamala Harris or you won a grass mowing award in 1999 or some other idiot sh!t.

Cal getting some award 10 years ago does not make it ok to be a mid-tier SEC team and can't win sh!t.
I bet you have a ton of friends and just a joy to be around at social gatherings!!!

He would be a joy at social gatherings as long as every single person at the gathering saw the world in exactly the same way as he does. If you don't see world events or KY basketball the same way he does, you will be called bat crap crazy or brainwashed. LOL

The Cats have been fortunate to have John Calipari as head coach. He has won a lot of games and enjoyed more postseason success that most any top tier coach over his 14 year tenure in Lexington. He has represented the university very well and has helped make the university, as well as a lot of young men , a whole hell of a lot of money. Parents of these guys trust Cal with their sons and they know he has their best interests at heart.

I have no more time for people who don't mind losing and worse yet, tell me I'm lucky. We are a second-tier SEC program now. I don't want anyone around me who is ok with that. 

Fire Cal now. We are becoming IU basketball and there is no fixing it until Cal is gone.

As a coach Calapari is mediocre at best.

Why does nobody ever mention the losses to teams such as Renfro Valley University? Tired of hearing the players first and gold standard BS.

Twice at UK (in 2012 and in 2015) his teams have won 38 games, tying his 2008 Memphis team for the most wins in college basketball history.

At the end of the 2014-15 season, Calipari became the 96th coach to join the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, considered one of the ultimate achievements in the game.


Cal's critics are barking up a strange tree, indeed, for someone who has done as much winning as Cal has.  In at least two cases(Jet and Plant Boy) , the bark is more about life philosophy than basketball philosophy.  They can't stand a Big Blue coach who is TOO Blue .   lol

You are crazier than 40 kinds of hell.
THIS IS 2024. Your brain cannot process facts. You operate only on emotion. Emotion on your feelings, if you like someone based on their worldview that your brain has been hijacked to adopt. I don't give a damn about politics when it comes to UK basketball and never have. RESULTS ARE ALL THAT MATTER ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU MAKE 10s OF MILLIONS.
All we get from you is Donald Trump Joe Biden Taylor Swift horse sh!t when we keep losing. Not to mention blaming the players.
It is the definition of BAT. SH!T. CRAZY. I wouldn't put you in charge of mowing my lawn. If the grass grew up to my knees and I complained you would just say I didn't like Taylor Swift or Kamala Harris or you won a grass mowing award in 1999 or some other idiot sh!t.

Cal getting some award 10 years ago does not make it ok to be a mid-tier SEC team and can't win sh!t.

LOL!

You know as well as I do that UK is NEVER gonna fire Cal. Cal will be here until he decides it's in his and Ellen's best interests to move on.  UK still owes him a LOT of moolah. They are not firing him. NOT EVER!!! The FIRE CAL refrain that we hear every time UK loses a game is, hence, quite irrelevant. There is ZERO chance Cal is ever fired from UK. He will eventually leave the job for other interests but UK has already told him that we want you here as long as you want to be here. If Cal resigned from coach right now he already has it in his contract to remain on in some capacity as an advisor for 900K a year.

When Cal and Ellen decide to move on to BLUER pastures is when the Cal tenure will end. He is never getting FIRED. Also, he says he enjoys coaching these young men and that he's not gonna let his critics steal his joy. He lets his guys hang out at his house and Ellen bakes them cookies. I heard him say  as little as three weeks ago how much he loves coaching this bunch and that he doesn't listen to anything his Big Blue critics are saying. He would be crazy to pay attention to all that negativity. Cal is a positive person and positive people find ways to overcome obstacles and find success. Cal will do just that.

There are nine games left in the regular season and many of them are very winnable games. I look for Kentucky to finish the regular season strong. I do think it's too late at this point, however, to expect Reed Sheppard or RDilly to stay in front of their man. Straight line drives to the basket and running around screens instead of fighting through them will continue because these guys simply don't get how to play defense. Sometimes we have to accept the fact that we are what we are. We ARE a really good offensive team with numerous very potent weapons. We also ARE the 102nd ranked team in adjusted defensive efficiency(KenPom).  We are what we are. Let's just enjoy the journey. It's only basketball. It's not national security!!!

I wouldn't waste time typing all this BS. He's and underachieving coach is all you can say about him.. He doesn't care if Kentucky wins..

If you were hired as the A.D. at this very moment, would you fire Cal immediately, sometime before the postseason, after the season? What coach(who will be willing and able to take over the job) would you want to hire to replace the guy who has won 28 games a year in Lexington?  Cal has won 402 games at UK, winning 400 games faster than anyone except Baron Von Ruppske.

You don't mind losing so we would never be at the same social gathering
You’re exactly right because it wouldn’t take long to see who needs the most attention in the room.  You’re just one of those guys!  Scream at the TV thinking people can hear you and care about your opinion.  You’re always right in your living room especially when everyone agrees with you.  Most visitors in your house probably can’t even talk back and just stare.

I've had Ellen's cookies. They're good(especially the Oatmeal & Raisin) . I 've seen a picture of someone else baking good-looking cookies. I'll post a picture of those in another forum.
