Hahahaha! Very small percentage are against Cal. This board is like .0001 percent of the fan base. This is where the grumpy old men go to congregate and act like know it all tough guys. 😂
Who are the people that matter most? The big money boosters. If I were one of them and I was pissing away 100's of thousands of dollars if not millions on what has been going on with UK basketball the past 5-6 years, I would not be a happy camper.

I love how this thread starts as "Sources say..." and then provides NO source, tweet, or reference to anything.
Sources say is a podcast, most prob knew that. They are full of **** and just some fans talking and trying to throw ish at the wall and see what stick's.

I don't mind the Cal criticism really, he deserves a big portion of it. But there are some who only post 87 times a day (Cat Phight) when we lose, seems obvious to me.

He sets up shop when things go bad and literally spends his entire day here and then vanishes when we win. I think it's Son of Saul. but that's just me.

Well, he wasn’t in the game thread that I can recall.

I don't know about that particular poster. But I don't usually post much during, even though I read the in-game. It's just the same thing that's posted 25 times until the next significant thing happens. I read along to make sure what I'm seeing is what others are seeing.

Ah, would've helped if the title to this thread said "Source Say Podcast Reports.." or something then. Appreciate the clarification, though.

We can only hope! The fan base is almost completely against him! So, it makes sense.
That’s one of the most ridiculous posts I’ve ever heard. You’re one of the fair weather fans that just want to ***** and whine and constantly bash Cal. You’re no fan. You’re an embarrassment to the BBN.

Uhhhhh, because I talk to many UK fans that aren’t in this board. Not that hard to understand.
I love how you perceivably think you are the only one who talks to people not on this board, quite funny actually. I have many friends, and to my knowledge none of them post or even read here and all of them are ready for cal to go and all concede that he really is a bad basketball coach,

Umm, no. I work in Lexington and meet new UK fans almost every day. I can't remember the last time I talked to someone still on the Cal bandwagon. You are the one in the minority.

I could see it. This season is still on the side of "disappointment" (although today was a good step forward).. and next year is giant crop of 1AD and seniors graduating. It would make sense for him to hang it up.

One thing to keep an eye on is recruiting for the 2024 class. If we don't start signing some/hearing buzz, that could be a big sign.. and if he struggles to sign recruits, that could also send him packing.

He had to know the heat is on and he only has a few years left. Next year might be his chance to go out on top or near the top. End on a good note

Next year is Cal’s last as head coach.
Sources say the end of the world is going to be on a Saturday. What Saturday is anyones guess. Sources say I’m getting laid tomorrow night. What sources say these things? Not telling, but they’re saying it. Believe me I should know they’re saying to it me.

I can tell you I know at least 50 UK fans and every single one, yes every single one wants Cal gone.
You only know 50 UK fans? You need to get out more. Next home game stand outside the arena and introduce yourself to everyone walking in for the game. After you introduce yourself ask each person if they would like to see Cal go. Better yet, do the same thing after the game. This will need to be done after a lose or a win to be fair. Come on back and post after you do this and let us know the results. You’ll have plenty of new friends and a more believable sampling of people for your initial post.

If you think guys like Joe Kraft are okay with the Cal situation you're dreamin'. Guys like him do not get wealthy by throwing good money after bad. If Cal is retiring, it's not because we are pressing him. It's the whales.

As an example my Mom and Dad were friends with a self made millionaire couple. Built up a international business from scratch. So 1 year they go to Hawaii together. The millionaire brings his 1 child home a souvenir. A shot glass. He bought at the airport. It wasn't gold encrusted. It was painted in some factory in Hong Kong.

I do not need to sample any further because 10's of thousands of UK fans cam tell you the same thing.

I accidentally heard from a source one time but it ended up incorrect. That was my last chance at a source.

So is it fair to say Cal isn't going to get a Taj Majal practice facility?

If there's anyone who could leave with little lead time, its Cal. The way he forms teams doesn't worry anyone that he should stick around to see guy's graduate.

Not completely true. Listen to other Cat fans. I used to never hear people go after Triple C like they are now. My UK friends despise him, people you overhear at work, in restaurants and bars. I hear a lot of die hard UK fans that want him gone. There are still some below average IQ fans that support him but those of us that have measurable brain function want him gone yesterday.
I guess all the people on here never talk to other UK fans outside the message boards! The people who say he’s well loved are the only ones with friends everybody!

Folks can think or believe what they like but it is much more difficult to find a Cal supporter than a Cal detractor. I would put it somewhere 70/30 to 75/25 anti Cal in the world of Cat fans.
That’s pretty close I think. On the bright side for me, if this is true only less than two years until I can stomach to watch a UK basketball game again. That’s just a Ryder Cup.

I still watch but I don't care like I once did and that is on Cal not me(no matter how old I am)
Glad most still can watch, really. I’m the minority and realize it. I just don’t like being angry after watching what’s supposed to be entertaining. And after watching for over 50 years, the product sucks. (I’m old also).

Imagine being someone that has watched Cal coach the last 6 years, and watched all that has happened in that time, and actually wanting him to stay here.

I’d say Cal supporters are actually becoming the minority.

How do you know how people not on this board feel. Short answer is you dont.
uh, they post every day about how much the basketball team and Cal suck... it's kinda obvious
Cal needs to go, but the constant whining and bitching are ridiculous... he could win the next two titles and it still would not be enough for many here.

I might be wrong in this generalization, but I suspect most of those people are young and they don't recall any other coach or the winning that took place long before Calipari showed up. To them, Calipari and Kentucky basketball are synonymous. They can't conceive of a new coach, so they refuse to accept the possibility. They can't fully accept that you don't need number 1 recruiting classes to win championships.

He could go 9-17, lose the all-time wins lead to Kansas, and then lose in the first round to a team with Peacocks as the mascot, and it still would not be enough for many here to question his coaching ability.
Oh wait, those things did happen.
