One Thing Will Make Cal Resign

[gojvc]

the only way Cal goes is to make him miserable

take away his control of scheduling, limit his recruiting options, cut his budget, require him to attend weekly meetings with the AD, open practice to reporters and have a Q&A at the end until all their questions are answered.

I'm not saying that should be done, but Cal would walk away from that.

Without question, if you did that to a coach whose teams have finished in the Top 10 three of the past four seasons you would have absolutely no trouble at all attracting a top flight replacement.

Fire Barnhart, he has no life time contract. Put a Kentucky man as AD who Respects the fans, State, the tradition of basketball.

Lol this is the dumbest ****.

Cliff Hagan, Newton and Ivey were all “Kentucky Men” and they sucked as AD’s and didn’t give a **** about anything but basketball. And two of them used the UKAA as their own personal piggy bank and fiefdom to fill out favors to buddies.

For every mistake Mitch has made he’s still turned Kentucky into a nationally top 20 athletic department that competes for championships across multiple sports, attracts high quality coaches and student athletes, and has some of the best facilities in the country.

He’s done it all with zero hint of NCAA trouble too boot and taking zero money from rhe University.

All that being said…Calipari has to go. But unless the fans want to organize a Joker style boycott of the program I’m afraid we’re stuck with him.

Calipari came here after we fired the SEC coach of the year 1 year removed, and only 2 years into his coaching history.

Did we have trouble attracting him?

BCG was not subject to the stipulations you suggested and had not finished in the top 10 three out of four. Not even close to equivalent scenarios. And you know that.

Fire Barnhart. You do realize Cal would have a heavy hand picking the new AD.

Ten years ago I’d have been on board with a Barnhart firing. Anybody suggesting it now is a full blown lunatic.

Eddie Sutton was quoted as saying he'd crawl on his hands and knees to Lexington to get the Kentucky job.

Calipari has a beach front home in New Jersey, another home in Nashville and more money than he can ever spend. The $80m or give or take he has earned while being UK's coach has certainly helped with that.

To believe that UK cannot attract a quality coach because an AD puts their underachieving lifetime contract coach on a "performance improvement plan" ignoring what this program has to offer a coach who has confidence in himself to win is not grounded in reality, but fear, or Calipari worship.

So yea, I'm sure there were some people saying we couldn't fire Gillispie after 2 years because what coach would come here with such a short leash...and they were wrong.

LOL. I’m not sure there was anybody who thought we shouldn’t fire Clyde.

I agree. The guy is an exemplary AD. The pitchfork squad tries to eliminate anything that works against their goal of ousting the coach. Typical baby out with the bath.

Clyde didn't have the worst season in UK's history followed by the worse loss in UK's history.

And this isn't a statement in support of BCG, He definitely deserved firing turning the program into a joke.

Lots of people laughing at UK right now and we have a coach we can't afford to fire.

Its time to make him miserable.

Then you would have asinine accusations that the election was rigged.

Precisely .

I’ve come to the realization that message board posters as a whole are just not very bright. Now I’m thinking I should re-evaluate the company I keep.

Here comes the gaslighting
