For everyone wanting a new coach

[CatPhight_rivals65113]

We don't have a coach, we have a has-been overweight lazy recruiter who mismanages a NBA developmental squad and talks down the the fan base to change the subject from his ineptitude...

Keep digging that hole.

You'll excuse me if I don't take lip from whichever 20 timed banned troll you are.

At least do us all a favor and make a decent username. You *** clowns get banned so frequently so fast you run out of material.

What a loser

Did you order the Code Red?

no one is going to tolerate 4 more years of this, not even Mitch and his contract

it goes on much longer without Cal turning this around and Mitch starts taking the heat instead of Cal

Mitch is already getting the heat. His comments on Cal's last radio show hints at it and I've heard privately of some people questioning Mitch on it.

He didn't get lucky, we paid him. Just like everyone else paid their top recruits. Don't act so naive.

What a weird take... anyways I guess our boosters are the ones to blame instead of Coach Cal? Clearly we are not throwing $$$ at the good recruits anymore.

Anthony Davis isn't walking through that door. Cal got lucky

He’s been to a lot of final fours and title games for a guy who is only lucky.

he needs to step his game up but it’s not like 12 was a complete fluke.

Gotta love Mitch B’s contracts

Just guessing here, but in most contracts there is a bit of negotiation between the parties.

The Calipari Memphis team that missed its free throws was the most machine-like juggernaut I'd seen since the great UCLA teams. UK 96** had more pro talent, but his Memphis team was like Mike Tyson.

**John Wallace of Syracuse almost beat UK96 single-handedly.

I'll soon login here to see people saying, I remember when we used to land the top recruits under Calipari... and I'm going to laugh at the never ending cycle of complaints...lol.

People are already saying this because it is reality. What rock have you been living under?

The one with Sharpe, Livingston, and Wallace.

Right now Covid can be attributed to lower revenue, ticket sales, etc

Next year that umbrella will be lifted. Mitch can't cover one more bad year for Cal. I think both of them are hoping he has a great season and an exit strategy after that.

Nailed it. Player retention has killed him.

And his defenders say it happens everywhere, and that’s true to a degree, but not at the level it happens here. And one thing that’s been pretty consistent from champion to champion is that they all return multiple starters from the previous season.

I don’t think people understand how much it sets us back when we invest all that time into a kid like ty ty washington for him to leave before he’s been here long enough to be a great college player.

This is the area that a lot of people either ignore or they’re too blinded by ********. He doesn’t care about player retention. He privately encourages them to leave, sometimes even when they don’t want to. He won his title in 2012, really couldn’t give a crap if he ever won another. He played Harrison’s in 2015 when obviously Ulis and Booker were the better players. Blah blah blah I could go on all day. He’s not going to change. He may lie and say he has or he will, but he won’t. You saw it this past year with Brooks getting undeserved minutes, holding back the development of a couple of younger guys and costing us. The man spews out his garbage and some on here lick it up like gravy. We will not win anything here until we have a coach who wants to win titles. You’re a fool if you think he cares about cutting down nets.

Player retention has been terrible under Cal. He does not want to develop a bench or take the time to develop players. He just wants to bring a new batch of 5 stars in, show them how the NBA runs things, push them out the door to the NBA and push the rest of the guys off to transfer. Otherwise he gets exposed as a fraud who can't develop long term players. Brooks is a fine example. He looks exactly the same now as he did as a Fr. EJ Montgomery never developed. Hagans never developed. The list goes on.

Just wait 4 more years.... I believe Calipari's lifetime contract states that if he retires after the 2025-26 season he can retire and cash in on a guaranteed Consultant/Representative role with UK for the rest of his life. You gotta think this is what Cal is looking at. Lets face it as long as that is looming and he's getting paid soo much now, he's not going anywhere AND with his buyout soo high we ain't going to fire him. So you can only hope for the retirement which I think will come shortly after that date is reached.

With that said, most of yall aren't going to be satisfied with the next coach either.... I'll soon login here to see people saying, I remember when we used to land the top recruits under Calipari... and I'm going to laugh at the never ending cycle of complaints...lol.

Correct on last paragraph especially

Keep on sopping up that gravy. You will get your annual Spring dose of disappointment
