I'm looking ahead. I think the next coach will have to have a relationship with our NBA guys. The more legit NBA players we have, the easier it will be for the next coach to recruit.
Fire John Calipari today.
- Thread starter Gromcat_rivals
- Start date
We have to stomach this through next year unfortunately. He has many captivated by the next class coming in
Next year we will be “playing for March” and nothing will come of it and people will be done.
This year is over unless he hires an offensive coordinator and defensive coordinator
Our players look out of place or scared to death (with the exception of Oscar)
We will blow Kansas out to get people back on the bandwagon, only to return to how we looked against Michigan St and Gonzaga
It’s been the same cycle now for 7 plus years
The guy who says he can’t last here more than 10 years simply won’t leave until forced out. That will be after our early exit next year.
I love our players this year, but he’s too nonchalant about preparing for on court success

I won’t watch next year, and I suggest y’all don’t either.
Coach Cal about to find out the same thing that Joe B Hall found out..... You ain't good enough. Recruit all you want you ain't good enough.
Step down or be put into the retirement Cal. Just like Joe B Hall and Coach Rupp. We don't play no games around here buddy. Would rather lose or win with somebody else at this point

Well he can coach that recruiting class all he wants. ain't none of us going to be watching.
Money and viewership is what talks ticket sales is what talks. **** talking is what is heard and it's heard loud and clear. Kentucky fans know how to get rid of a coach and we'll have him gone by the end of the year if we want it.
He will retire in March. I bet anything in the world on it. Coach Cal is in his last season at Kentucky you put your ******* *** on that. Recruiting class be damned. I ain't watching him embarrass Big Blue again. We don't get embarrassed around here we do the embarrassing and you Coach Cal about to get embarrassed. We're going to force you to retire or quit or walk away. Watch *******

Sawnee, you nailed it. If Calipari could actually coach, he would have a few titles with the talent that has come through UKBB under his watch.
Cal makes more history, for the first time in November the Cats have 2 losses by 9 points or more.
Perhaps I treated Grady too harshly. TyTy was also leagues better than anyone we have now.
Morg/grom's fixing to get banned again. Have some kids, man. It will give you something else to be emotionally attached to. It doesn't make watching the losses suck less, but it makes not watching them a lot easier. We aren't going to get any better at Football or Basketball anytime soon, so you might as well find somewhere else to find your joy. I'm in the acceptance stage. We've got an AD that would rather watch the revenue sports circle the drain than deal with a risky coaching hire. The biggest disappointment is that I'll have a hard time convincing my daughters to share my fandom.
We're 0 - 2. And after we blast UNF we'll still be 0 - 2 in games that matter.
Zero and two.
Zero and two.

The recruiting is great and all but I want someone who can actually coach the college game. This crap has become borderline unwatchable. I really felt like this team could be special, but man has this start to the season been a swift kick in the junk.
There’s nothing for Calipari here. His recruiting classes don’t matter we’re losing our prestige. This is death by 1,000 cuts. We keep up like this for another 2 or 3 years and nobody will consider us elite in the least.
Rival fans that used to give me hell say very little now. It’s not even fun to rub UK’s face in losing today. It’s turned into low lying fruit.
He’s gotta go recruits don’t mean anything. There’s too many guys who could do better than this and be respectable if not. He’s neither.
Will you be the last one standing Bass. I think so.
Naw. He’s from Memphis. Had butt hurt ever since Cal left there.
Calipari has this year and next year. His time left here is limited. I think the normies are finally onto his bs
You can’t support the program and support a coach who’s hurting the program.
Yep, there it is in a nutshell.
So many Kentucky fans still caught up in the Cult of Personality that is John Calipari.
No Offense no defense this team is running in circles I spend 3 and half years in the military many years ago and seen many good leaders Cal is not a leader he has no leadership qualities something a coach has to have he needs to go.
You are probably right...but the fans may have a say in how quickly that takes place. Empty seats and tv viewership will have a say in this matter too.
Antiqua had a terrible run as head coach at South Florida. He did not leave on good terms. Maybe he could do a little better at UK but he can not coach X and O's. It may be more of Calipari than a change.
^^^^^This
The days of blindly following a sinking program are over with. That may have been the norm 50 years ago but coaches made less than $50,000 in those days and worried about a parking place next to the gym. With salaries is the stratosphere fans demand much more today.
Not many fans will fork out a $100 bucks or more a game to watch the product Calipari puts on the floor. Keep going in the direction we are going and Kentucky will no longer be a team TV networks want on Prime Time. Rupp will certainly have empty seats. That will get the AD's attention.
Grady was great in the games with Tyty and Wheeler out because they ran a ton of ball screens instead of him running back and forth to either side with poor screening.
The program chose the coach. KY chose the coach. The Wildcats chose the coach, not some Mempiss fan with an obvious grudge.
I agree. Does that still make me a cultist?
If this is how you believe then why did you make a whole thread about firing him NOW? Did you need attention or something? You are wasting your time and I’m convinced now that you know it.
I get equally excited about my kids sporting events as I do for my Cats. I’m just glad there’s no message board for youth
basketball/baseball/football lol. The emotional investment some of these posters put into these games is astonishing.
Hey @Gromcat - i'm here to eat my crow from the Cal Cult thread. Maybe not as far as fire Cal (yet), but last night was completely unacceptable for a "coach" so highly touted as CC.
Please serve it with something pleasant to drink so I can wash down the aftertaste.

If Cal had a conscience he would have stepped down after last season.
He calculates his self worth by how his teams are doing. Not worth the attention he jumps up and down looking for.
You are right on this. It is going to be hard to watch for this season and next. He won't be fired.
It’s strange. Cal came in as beloved as any coach could be, I’m guessing but I will say he will be disliked more than Billy Clyde when he’s gone. He is destroying the program I remember. Hopefully Mr. Mitch gives another extension beyond whatever the heck he has now.
