At least now we know this guy is FOS Ohio St. just hired a coach.
I feel ya, but I'm not in line with Drew...that is the issue. If it was Tommy Lloyd or Dan Hurley, totally different story. If I getting Scott Drew and none of this core, give me Reed and Cal for one more year and just re-evaluate. JMHO. I don't trust Cal but I trust Mitch less and I'm focused on the future.
This decision is critical. I know we haven't done **** in 5 years but Cal is so polarizing we are still a hot topic.
A bunch of fanboys acting like they have sources, and then going off the vibe Tucker and others had yesterday
I’m fine with Scott drew especially if he brings edgecomb with him
That guy Joe Adam’s said Ohio St. reached out to Cal…. Buddy didn’t do his research I guess because Ohio St. hired a coach 6 days ago….. 
I remember OP saying at one time he had access to practices? or was loosely connected to the program. It wasn't a flex, matter of fact it was annoying to me because he was taking up for Cal.
fwiw, and I know my opinion ain't worth jack, I believe him

I know Michigan is atleast interested but hasn’t reached outThat guy Joe Adam’s said Ohio St. reached out to Cal…. Buddy didn’t do his research I guess because Ohio St. hired a coach 6 days ago…..
it would be a pipe dream but in a way , if Cal headed up the NIL and supporting recruiting, he'd still be doing all that players first horseshit while doing the heavy lifting for a coach
I mean I can't imagine that being an option but I'd love Cal for taking that position

Personally I don't think Cal coaches anywhere else. I think he ends his career here, whether it be this year or a few years down the road. I'm truly hoping they reach an agreement on the buyout and we can close this chapter and move on to the next.
Same, I could also see him wanting to prove a point and go to Michigan to prove he still has it. But it’s time for both sides to move on, Kentucky needs to get a new coach in place so they can begin attacking the portal
He is 65, not old, but I'm certain he realizes the odds are against him kickstarting his career after tanking against Oakland and St. Peter with uber talented teams. If its not working at Ky its sure as hell ain't working in Michigan.
I"m sure he is a confident guy, but he wouldn't be human if he didn't do some serious self reflection in the past 48 hours about whether he still has it or not, and it has to be clear to him that he doesn't have the answers right now
I've always thought he'd leave and go do something else besides coach. Most likely he'll take a break and then come back to TV like Jay Wright. But he'll need a good long break, otherwise he might be laughed out of the interview when he tries to get a TV gig.
I wouldn’t read too much into the after season meeting. I believe Barney does this with all the head coaches after a season is over. But I do hope there is more to this one. I would like to get interested in UK basketball again.
I don't even think Drew comes here. He's stated before basically preaching the word of Jesus is more important to him than basketball, he just uses basketball as a medium to do that. That flies at a private baptist school like Baylor. It's not going to fly at UK.
win a national championship and you can kneel during the national anthem, don't see why praying wouldn't work either
I didn't even say that. I said the talks between Cal and UK began today on a buyout and I don't know the time frame but I'm 90% sure they will come to an agreement in the very near future. Practically word for word what my initial post said. Never did a say an agreement is already made.
The initial talks were about 2 things, money and a role in the organization. Personally I believe a firm decision will be made within the next 24 hours and probably announced publicly early next week. Cal doesn't want the buyout and to walk away, he wants to remain part of Kentucky Basketball. I think he is being a glutton for punishment. but I believe we need a change and a new coach so if that's what it takes count me in.
Because he wouldn't want to leave a school whose religious values aligns with his. But either way, he can mandate his team pray with him at Baylor. He cannot do that at a public university.
he's not much of a Christian if he's mandating people pray with him
Well, you lead off the thread with "buyout is imminent". That pretty much means it's happening, at least according to you.
That was basically an insurance gig. In case a medical thing happened while BBN still loved him, but he couldn't coach. There was an interview recently where Cal himself described that scenario and that role.
His coaching philosophy is called J.O.Y. Jesus, others, yourself, in that order. I just don't think a guy like that is leaving his private baptist university to go to a place where basketball results are infinitely more important than his religion will ever be.
well, he probably needs some insurance now.
Seriously while there is a serious stain now, 3 years from now of Cal doing the shaking hands and kissing babies routine, he'd be beloved - either because his replacement its good and UK is winning again or his replacement sucks and everyone wishes he was back
I"m not saying he is or isn't, I'm just saying him being religious would be fine at UK. Hell, this program would put up with a lot if he is was winning - and proselytizing on campus in the state of KY is pretty far down the list of egregious offenses as a coach
(it would be funny as hell though if he called a player a selfish motherf'er on camera during a game though)
fwiw, I don't want Scott Drew - he and many other coaches would be a bland as rice cakes in this program
It is imminent, that doesnt mean its a done deal yet. Part of any negotiation is an agreement that both parties are okay with. Cal holds the cards currently unfortunately, due to the lifetime contract.
Not a fan of Torre's.. mostly over the top click bait... and for goodness sakes, get a better backdrop for your videos
that must have been one I missed on here.
I use fast paste on other message boards as a joke and people don't know what to think about it
well I do know what they think, they think I'm an idiot but its still funny to me
Please don’t let Mitch be in a room alone with Cal.
