I don't want UK to fire Calipari. He has a lifetime contract and the school can't afford to fire him. The bottom line is that UK's administration has been saddled with some of the worst contract negotiators in the history of sports. Calipari was the highest-paid college basketball coach when the school gave him a new contract, with a higher salary and what amounts to a lifetime job. 

Does anybody actually think that John Calipari is worth the income that he is being paid? He has been a great recruiter and the current team has some players who are experienced and received some great coaching before they arrived in Lexington. Talent-wise, I think that Kentucky definitely has the talent to win the title this season but I recall a UK team that had Devin Booker and Tyler Ulis coming off the bench losing to a much less talented Wisconsin team. Kentucky needs a huge advantage in talent to be favored to win a title with Calipari at the helm. Maybe Coach Cal can win a title this season thanks to the coaching contributions of Bob Huggins (WVU), Bob McKillop (Davidson), and Tom Crean (Georgia). I hope so. This is a fun team to watch and just what fans needed after the poor performance of last year's boring team.
