Calipari offered an Extension

Hoot Gibson Wrote:Over the next 10 years, we don't know who might become available, so I would put Brad Stevens at the very of the list. It is extremely stupid for UK to give any basketball coach a 10 year contract.

As for who might UK hire that more capable of coaching a team to a national title, the list is long. Did you not just witness Bruce Pearl take a much less talented team than Kentucky to the Final Four without their best big man? I personally would not want UK to hire a coach with a shady background like Pearl, but leaving two different programs with vacated Final Four appearances was not a disqualifier for Calipari.

In addition to Stevens, Tony Bennett would be a great hire for any major NCAA basketball program.

Calipari has done an admirable job at UK and I do not advocate firing him, but UK granting anybody what is essentially a lifetime job is absolutely crazy. He is already the highest paid college coach in history and he has one one NCAA title - the same as Tubby Smith, Rick Pitino, and Joe Hall did before him.

Calipari is not paid the highest salary in the game to put UK in the conversation for a national championship each year - he is paid to win titles at a higher rate than lesser paid coaches from every other basketball program win titles.

Lol listen . You mentioned Bruce pearl taking Auburn to the final four . Tell me how many other final
Fours does pearl have ? Sweet sixteens . College basketball coaching is 50 percent recruiting. We seen the players Billy G brought , it takes more than the Uk name to bring top talent .
