We are all miserable watching this team. We are all fed up with the constant revolving door of the One and Done. We all can see the coaching deficiencies of John Calipari. We are all tired of the biggest night of the basketball season being draft night. We can see the decline in our team since we lost Coach Payne and I think it’s obvious that he was the most important person on our coaching staff in developing these young kids. Let’s see how big we can make this thread in support of moving away from Coach Cal and starting fresh at the University of Kentucky.
Official Fire Coach Cal Thread

Official go pull for another team post! Losing is bad enough without all the whining.
I’ll always bleed blue but that doesn’t mean I have to support the downward spiral of our team.
I can't support firing a coach mid season.
I'm as frustrated with him as anyone but you don't do that.
Cal has earned the right to return next year in an attempt to fix it
However if he takes the program to new lows, if he comes back and under performs, it will be the most miserable 9 months of his life - especially with fans - who will be buying tickets just to boo him

So go pull for u6. They’re 6-1.
Come on......we almost beat a lousy team on their home court! We would have won if it wasn't for that loud boisterous u6 home crowd.
U6 is 6-1 gopull for them and quit whining.
We can’t afford to fire him even if we wanted to. Mitch surrendered the right to fire Cal when he gave him that lifetime extension.
I'm with you OP 1-6 worse start since 1911 let that sank in for a minute! Overpaid and he doesn't work hard enough for UK it's all about the NBA! I want a coach that puts UK 1st !
Exactly how does one go about posting the “official” post? I see a lot of folks claiming their post are official but have never figured out how.
He’s not gonna get fired. I’m praying for a 5 win season that he just retires afterward at this point.
We can afford it. If Auburn can afford to fire Malzahn we can afford to fire Calipari.
you came on here immediately after UK lost to UL in the worst start in 100 years to talk crap with fans.
wow, put on your blue UK superman cape and stand proud
Sign me up. His post game comments cemented it with me.
You’re aware that the athletic department is currently dealing with a severe budget crisis, right? Are you gonna pay the $60 million buyout?
Unfortunately, Cal’s ridiculous contract effectively makes him unfireable for at least a couple more years.
I was done last year. Huge thread, Cal Trending Down. Several others were in board.
Now, as he antagonizes the fan base, he’s really doing himself in.

I bet he thinks the same thing. UK will be alright. Maybe we don’t fire him. We just send him home for a couple of months and let someone else Coach. Kind of like what he did with Cam Fletcher. Let him think through his future.
No program anywhere, EVER would even consider paying off a $60 million buyout.
Whether I agree with the sentiment that Calipari has worn out his welcome at UK or not, this thread is a exercise in futility. With $60 mil on the line, he stays as long as he wants.

He needed to be fired yesterday.
Barney needs to be fired as well. What numbskull makes that contract?
I’m pissed off. Aggravated. Disgusted. Embarrassed. But this is a little too much. He has been a hell of a coach. Can’t say that after a few ****** games.
He gets paid the big bucks to get things right. This is his job. Not a birthright. I do agree something needs to happen but wanting him fired it’s not the right answer. What coach would come here knowing that a Hall of Fame coach who has been to Multiple final fours, multiple elite 8’s etc. would get fired for one bad year.
Would you describe the worst record since 1911 new lows?
No truer statement than this. He should’ve been fired after the double dud of Gillespie and Joker. Worst AD in history and he’s celebrated like the next coming of Jesus.
A coach who wants to get paid and be at the helm of a great program.
What do you propose? It’s clear he has no intention of changing.
get mental help. you have severe anger issues.
The kind of AD that doesn't have the guts to call a meeting with his head basketball coach to "discuss" his inflammatory public comments directed toward the fanbase after recent games. Accountability takes a back seat when you give a coach a $60 million golden parachute.
Calipari would laugh Barnhart under the table. If he even agreed to take the meeting at all.
Cal is exactly in the same spot Tubby was once he got his fat contract...mailing it in and living off the rep of UK.
Problem is Tubby was a decent bench coach and got fat metaphorically, while Cal is a lousy bench coach and looks like Fat Bastard waddling around with no coat, tie and his dress shirt pulled out like a slob.
Tubby never **** the bed quite like this.

He made Calipari his boss when he gave him that deal. Dangerous when you make your employee more powerful than yourself.
absolutely, but you aren't going to fire a national title winning coach mid season.
its just not happening.
