Do you miss Cal?

[Farsight Clone]

Simple question.

 

[Shaudylo]

No he had to go .

And if Pope keeps it up so will he

 

[theBlues]

It was time for Cal to go. Barnhart making a bad hire to replace Cal doesn't change that fact.

 

[ScrewDuke1]

Hell no. This is bad...but we just gonna act like Cal was good in his final years?

 

[UKWildcats1987]

No.

We needed a change but hired the wrong guy. Mitch is an idiot.

 

[Seth_C]

I’d rather lose to Gonzaga and North Carolina than Farley Dickinson or whatever so nah.

 

[chattanogawildcat]

Big NO

 

[Pygmy Sasquatch]

Yeah. Like a STD.

 

[BigRedMachineBigBlueNation]

No. Losing to garbage teams was infuriating but it was the way he treated the fans that finally broke the camel’s back. It was a bad marriage: He didn’t want to be here, we didn’t want him here, but that contract kept us in the “marriage” longer than it would have lasted naturally

 

[JSquad0070]

I wanted him gone. 100%. But would I rather have Cal or Pope? I’m taking Cal. Utterly horrible hire by Barnhart. He needs to go yesterday.

 

[BleedBlue_22]

No, we’re too stubborn of a fanbase.

 

[TommyMansky]

Fans didn’t hire the coach but fans also were too good for Scott Drew.

I’m convinced Mitch was only going to interview coaches he deemed morally good enough after the swimming coach scandal made him look bad. He was also tired of Cal not listening to him and preferred a yes man.

 

[wildcatdon]

Screw Cal

 

[bbnkat02]

We're gonna do this ish all year aren't we?

I don't have enough Valium for this.

 

[AFKY_Blue_RedsBengals]

Cal had to go. Right now he's laughing his *** off at the entire state of Kentucky. The problem is Barnhart. Mitch just ****** up another hire when the opportunity was there to make it right. Time to fire his *** for the horse **** contracts he keeps handing out left and right.

 

[Boisgreat]

Is it baseball season yet?

 

[Tri-Countycat]

I’m gonna have to switch to benchmark bourbon to afford this season

 

[JAC71]

He got too content here and was time for a change… I also do not have any ill will towards him and thankful for the great times

 

[xmayor]

Yes and I'm fine with saying it. Would have sent the AD packing before Cal.

 

[TheBlueMist]

Can you please move on? She doesn't love you any more. Sure the passion was great early on, but there is no love left. She's with another guy now and only thinks about you to enjoy some schadenfreude from time to time. Look, there are other women out there. You're still a catch! Go out there and find someone who will love you for you and what you bring now, now for what once was.

(Not directed at the OP, but pointed at the constant pining for a washed up coach.)

 

[MegaBlue05]

Nope.

I love Cal for what he did here his first 10 years, but his back half was not much better—and sometimes worse—than what we're seeing now.

I was ready for him to leave and don't want him to come back to coach. I don't, however, hate the man like many seem to.

 

[MegaBlue05]

I’m gonna have to switch to benchmark bourbon to afford this season

I bought one bottle of that stuff. That was enough.

 

[Catlogic1552]

It was Cal that decided it was time to go, both through action and results. So that wasn’t going to work any longer.
But this is obviously a disaster and won’t take another five years to see the writing on the wall.

 

[One2Three]

Cal should’ve retired and remained with the program. Hell, I’d take him as an AD right now. But as our coach? The man was well past his prime.

 

[Mike-D]

23 trolls. Cal had 1 NCAA tournament win in 4 seasons.

 

[BleedBlue_22]

Go look at the Arkansas board… We are the laughing stock of their fanbase.

 

[BlueSince92]

No. Not remotely.

How many of these threads do we have to have every single hour, Brad?

 

[3 Putts]

About as much as that boil I had on my balls a couple of years ago. I’ll suffer through this until Mitch is forced to hire a real coach.

 

[ORCAT]

No, his time had run its course at UK. He's doing well at Arkansas right now but it won't lasts there either. We need someone new with a proven background that wants to make his mark at the highest level, which is still Kentucky, believe it or not. I was hoping Pope might be the guy with his energy and love for the school but he is failing badly right now. Just maybe too nice of a guy and has lost respect of his players. I don't know who is the answer for what we need but it appears now that Pope isn't that guy.

 

[bbnkat02]

Go look at the Arkansas board… We are the laughing stock of their fanbase.

Who gives a flying rat's behind. Screw them.

 

[Forkman]

No he had to go .

And if Pope keeps it up so will he

How many hires do we have to make that don't work out in the future before the fan base accepts it's not the coach?

You think all these sources you go to for info on the program are going to come out and tell you the glory days aren't coming back? Their careers are only justified by your engagement in this program. Stop expecting honestly from them. You aren't ever getting it.

 

[fisherscatfan]

No.

 

[UKortho]

Simple question.

He had to go. But man, so does Pope

 

[buc puppet]

Cal should still be here. The fact that he’s not is his own fault. He had driven a wedge between himself and everyone that mattered. It’s what led to him losing

I was sitting at my desk at home around 10 pm that night we found out pope was gonna be the guy. I felt sick to my stomach. I was immediately more mad at Cal in that moment than ever before. Our grass would not get greener and I knew it. I thought we would hire Pearl or oats or Drew and I was gonna be ok with that. So my final
Feelings about cal would depend on who we hired as his replacement. Guys like Cal they always get the last laugh and good guys really do finish last

 

[BlueSince92]

This

 

[Drogon]

Simple question. Simple answer(with emphasis) **** NO!

 

[Tim0808]

He is making a lot of Arkansas fans Happy Coaching Basketball. I heard the BYU fans are pretty pumped about it too.

 

[Tim0808]

23 trolls. Cal had 1 NCAA tournament win in 4 seasons.

It had to be a Tough draw during those 4 years.

 

[Bigbluegoo]

Simple question.

Of course not. Only a retard would miss that underachieving, stubborn, washed coach.

 

[BleedBlue_22]

I don’t miss Cal, but I miss his players. We don’t have any of the caliber of players he had in his rosters. This is such a soft roster.
