They do this at the same time every year, so any lingering recruits or transfers don’t wanna come. Cal won’t leave, we know that.
Could Lakers have interest in Cal?
- Thread starter Madison Cat
- Start date
That would be great and then he can just roll the ball out. Oh he'll based on recent results he is already doing that.
First game LeBron will yell at Cal like Cal yelled at Chin
Problem is the entire roster could bolt like at LSU. Also, who would do better? Put your hands down!

Who do we have that we can’t lose? Our current roster is crap and the ones we are in on, not elite by any stretch. Cal stays, we suck next year. He leaves, we suck next year. We should take our chances.
NBA players won't listen to his incessant hollering.
A change this late??
The college basketball season hasn’t even ended yet.
You buffoon
Well, not voluntarily. He got fired.
And he actually wanted to stay in the NBA. After he got fired, he took a job as a Sixer assistant in the hopes of staying. He only went back to college after it was clear nobody else in the league was interested in him.
What I took from the article is something of a different take.
In that article it says something about Coach Cal been thinking about a return to the NBA if the right situation came about. If this is true, then for me, it says something about his commitment to UK. One can not have his heart in one place and his head in another.
As a old coach, we always told our players, "get your head and heart in the right direction and your feet will follow".
If Coach Cal has been looking at the NBA for the right situation, this may explain some of the failures we have seen the last few years.

ROFLMAO!!! Media baiting you guys like hell. Talking head throws a bare hook in the water and KY hater grabs it before it gets wet.
We just lost to a bunch of one stars with the NPOY!!
We have been losing the majority of the roster every season since Triple C arrived.
I‘ll take a roster full of Kentucky born walk ons and a good head coach that cares about winning at UK first!

I'd trade Cal for a shot of snatch off Jeannie Buss.
Couldn’t you give me just one hour? Just kidding, of course. Hard to give a lifetime to something, even though it’s just sports, and not just
But why would the media be baiting us if there’s no need? Strange response.
Who do you see having success replacing Calipari and they better be winning out the gate. We are Kentucky and won’t stand for nothing less than championships every year.
It's okay Bass...you can follow Daddy out west and find work in a soup kitchen...
The only thing I can think of is if AD and Lebron have said that’s someone they’d be interested in playing for given last relationships
Honestly an ideal situation for everyone involved.
Cal gets to coach his most prominent player again and the face of the NBA. He doesn’t have to worry about the changing landscape and the transfer portal. He gets away from the fanbase that he despises and the “unrealistic expectations to put the program first”. In the NBA he just has to please the front office and his players. The Fans have Minimal influence.
On our end we get to move on to a Program first coach without looking like we ran a HOFer out of town. I think Cal could get to another final 4 here but I believe we are bang or bust with him now. It’s not a coincidence we’ve had multiple missed tournament appearances, the worst season ever, and a loss to a 15 in the last 5 years. Can Cal still land some big recruits and have a big year....absolutely. Can that 1 big year be surrounded by 2-4 years of not winning the SEC and first weekend exits...absolutely. Self may only have 1 Title but he consistently wins 30 games and conference titles and E8s. And he puts his program before everything else. I appreciate that more and more now that we aren’t getting every top recruit

I don’t remember who or what year. But, Cal got ejected at Arkansas. Assistant took over. UK wins. That guy, for one.
He wants to be begged to stay…his ego needs this.
I actually will take Torres stance which is UK fans want to CONTEND/COMPETE for championships every year. You all are loyal to the program and as long as they are doing what it takes and showing the program cares about Kentucky....you'll support them. If UK loses to a team in Elite 8, Final Four it stinks, but you are right there with the program. Now you can't excuse St. Peter's. Missing the Tournament. Ruining all the traditional events/games/outings that Kentucky loves.
I think there are numerous guys who would jump at this job. Hypothetically you open this up, you aren't replacing the Cal from '10-'15 who was fantastic, you are replacing the version who is ducking IU, won't play in Maui or Holiday Tournaments, won't do home/homes, talks of losses as not mattering, has bent the knee to Rick Barnes of all coaches, has not recruited at the level that he once did--but isn't getting guys to stay either. It would be time for someone to come take this job.
Personally, I'd look at a younger guy to grow-but my top young coach was Todd Golden who UF just hired. If I went current top guys, I'd make a run at Scott Drew, Eric Musselman, still not as down on Nate Oats as others, also like Tommy Lloyd but doubt he'd leave Arizona, and I'd have been fine if Kenny Payne got a chance here but he's at U of L so he'd out. For a guy who I'm intrigued by I'll throw a name some would be shocked by mentioning but I like Jerry Stackhouse. Stackhouse is someone I could see winning big at a better program. He's type I like in that he played at highest level and can relate to elite players in being recruited, pressure of blueblood program, trying to get to NBA, etc...but understand if some think that's crazy. Think he's really doing right things to get Vanderbilt competitive and recruiting very well with some guys who are underrated but will be good college players--like the guard Noah Shelby a lot.
Barnfart shouldn’t have gotten bluffed out of his shoes about Cal pretending he was interested in UCLA.
What the **** is Cal posturing about now, what does he want a double lifetime contract?
I hope he ******* leaves. **** him.

Kenny Payne. Always liked UK offensive play in Bahamas when Cal wasn't coaching too. More aggressive and better spacing/pace.
I hope Anthony Davis would do that for us fans! He really does love us if he’s telling the Lakers front office he wants Cal as his next head coach!
Barbee did it at South Carolina...went zone and confused the F outta the lamecocks...
Hits, Einstein. More ad dollars. You guys are gullible and desperate for validation . They know it. They are using you like a 30 year old Volvo.
This is probably the typical yearly rumor of cal leaving to hurt recruiting, or get cal a raise.
But it's not a reach to think cal will could leave for greener pastures if thinks he can get his ego stroked.
His ego is rightfully taking a pummeling right now at Kentucky. Hopefully he will leave to "show us."

As opposed to being used like a 70 year vulva. I can live with that.
Shows they don't know much about Cal Could we happen to drop him on them? No.Won't happen.
I’m playing the BS card. This sounds like Cal’s camp putting something out there. He’s got to know BBN is big time p!$$ed off at him. This feels like a ploy for UK fans to say oh we really didn’t mean anything. Please don’t go. If he wants to go, then go. I won’t lose one wink of sleep over it.
i believe that sums it up
If it is, they’re dumber than a sack of rocks.Uk fans aren’t dumb. And, eventually, win out. Look at our history.
That’s exactly what this sounds like. It’s the first thing I thought before opening the thread.
