Pretty average for him, actually.

 

[BLUEHILLS]

When Cal bolts for Austin, would like Chad on search committee.

Wonder who his first call would be?

 

[UnfrozenCatfanLawyer]

Sorry I’m halfcocked on lunch martinis from Applebee’s.

Ah, yes - the Ribletini. Classy.

 

[BristolCat_rivals158386]

Yes, Mark Few is the type of guy who can come in at the last minute and take any player he wants from Cal. We can spend our whole lives recruiting a kid and at the end of the day, if Few wants him, he’ll get him. If Gonzaga wants him, they’ll get him. Don’t ever get that confused. Be appreciative every time they don’t come in and get Cal's guy. Don’t accuse them of cheating when they do.

Was BBdk's lowest moment when he rolled up to the nation drinking a purple frog from a large Speedway styrofoam cup, chain smoking menthols, ragged baggy sleeveless T, and super baggy swim trunks?

It was something he dubbed "The Bullfrog". A 2 liter of Big K's Mountain Dew ripoff with 1/4 of it emptied out. That's so purple kool-aid powder and Seagram's gin could be properly applied to create the optimal crunk buzz

MadDog 20/20 would snobbishly turn its nose up at that concoction.

 

[Ribsandwhitebread]

Maybe Cal is leaving so he can put BRAD on his staff? Obviously he couldnt do that at racist UK.

Shaka to Marquette
Cal and BRAD to Texas
and we obviously have to wait for Tom Banjo to break the news on who Mitch will hire.

 

[BBdK]

Wodie, IIRC, is a Seagram's man.

Bombay Saph in my adult years, for my beloved Negronis.

Beefeater works.

 

[80 Proof]

Be cool if we hired IU's head coach to be an assistant.

 

[BBdK]

False.

 

[krazykats]

I get lost in the Cal snarky posts sometimes, but to be clear 100% of you know Cal isn’t leaving UK for Texas, right?

 

[WayneDougan_rivals170043]

Phil Jackson available if Cal leaves?

 

[Ribsandwhitebread]

I will bet you a bottle of EHT Amaranth that Cal goes to Texas

 

[MaxPowerrr]

I mean it’s whatevs

 

[cricket3]

I’m more worried about Cal fleecing Mitch again than I am him leaving.

You never struck me as a pessimist, man. Let's stay hopeful.

 

[wcc31]

Welp if you’re on the “Cal has to change” train as most are, you couldn’t have asked for a bigger smack to his face to wake him up:

- Embarrassingly bad season
- Mockery from NBA scouts
- Two Top 10 busts - one who was too big of a ***** to even play the season
- Getting dinged by his top recruits by Duke, G-League and Gonzaga
- New Coaching King in the SEC
- Loss of trust from BBN

 

[gobigbluebell]

Gliding like a thoroughbred. SEC Champs baby.

[krazykats]

Your saying he goes? I’m saying he won’t?

Deal.......and I don’t have one but I’ll gladly buy it on secondary if I can’t get a hook up somewhere.

 

[sinker16]

-When is the life insurance industry going to get with the times and start offering more than two choices for gender? It's disgusting honestly

-Starting to feel like the idea behind the kneeling was to use it against the fans later on, so now it's our fault Cal sucks and can't recruit

-Anyone else throwing a perfect game on not ever wearing a mask or just me?

 

[Voinovich.]

Cal can F off off to Austin for all I care... I just worry that Toast will hire the preacher from Southeast Christian off Blankenbaker for the HC position.

------> After all, he hired Billy Clyde didn't he?

 

[RMP82]

The only problem I'd have with Cal leaving right now is that there aren't really any true proven great coaches out there. You have your legends (Cal, Roy, K, Self, Pitino, etc) but they're not realistic. Few is going nowhere. If Cal ever left, you'd have to throw the bank at Stevens or God forbid, Billy D again.

There are plenty of really good up and comers, but do you take a chance on one of them? Sure there is a chance that an Oats, Beard, Mike White, or hell even Mark Pope could kill it here. There is also a chance that they'd get swallowed whole and completely **** the bed. "Kentucky isn't for everyone" doesn't just apply to recruits.

 

[BBdK]

Mike White? Lmao.

These AD’s need to get over themselves and interview Bruce Pearl.

He’d be on my Top 5 realistic list no matter what school it is. Dude would murder at Texas or IU.


-Wetzel doesn’t think much of Barnes

 

[SAECATFAN]

Good with Pearl in Lex tbh.

 

[wcc31]

Actually think there are a lot of good coaches out there right now, just not a no-brainer who will both fit here and definitely come here.

Back in the day, Cal was always hanging there waiting if Mitch grew a sack.

Now- there’s Holtman who I’m not sure at all is good enough.

Beard is good enough but we’ll hate his style of play. Can anyone see Drew here?

Oats possibly. Pope down the line?

 

[RMP82]

I agree that Mike White is **** but Maggie always mentioned on the show that Mitch once had him on a short list a few years ago. I agree 100% on Pearl. I don't think they would ever entertain the idea but he is one guy I think would crush it here. He has the mentality to soak in everything this program has to offer. He just never had the chance to run a major program. Sure it's his own fault, but just like Cal, I have no doubt he was shady as hell at prior stops but he wouldn't need to cheat here. Perfect fit.

 

[IsRichieGonnaStart]

Oats. Dude would cut his arm off to win a title and knows he can win the hardware in Lexington.

 

[tfields01]

Coming off of Cal and a wildly panned, archaic offensive philosophy, I think you have to shake the NBA tree a little first and see what falls out. Can you talk Vogel from being a LeBron bad mood away from unemployed to come lead his alma mater? Can Spo get Riley's blessing after a long run in MIA to try to win in college too? Stevens isn't coming for us if he passed on IU. If one of those names can bring some juice, maybe you try that route. The money would certainly justify the move.

If not, Oats is pretty much the only answer, right? Pearl would be obvious if he was 5 years younger. Holtmann needs a little more success. Pope has promise but Provo to Lex is a BIG move in so many ways. Mitch couldn't be drug kicking and screaming into signing Scott Drew's contract.

I have extreme Cal fatigue, but the next generation isn't exactly getting me charged up.

 

[MaxPowerrr]

Good with Pearl in Lex tbh.

I mean we all are, if we’re being honest with our real selves.

 

[cut_itloosedoubledeuce]

Oats, holtman, musselman, pearl. Big drop off after #3 in my opinion. All have P5 success. None have won a title which is key, gotta have that hunger to get #1.

 

[RandomUser]

If Cal to Texas is the play, what incredible foresight he had to claim Covid and avoid their remaining players and boosters seeing him coach against them firsthand.

GOOOOOO!

 

[wcc31]

Gotta love a fun little coaching rumor to put the turd atop the **** sundae that is this year.

 

[UK_ENGR]

I refuse to put any stock in Cal to Texas rumors until we hear from Rex...

 

[BBdK]

Is Scott Drew EXTRA scary just Bc he LOOKS sleazy?

I don’t understand that one. What he’s done, and is doing, at touching BAYLOR after one of the biggest scandals of all time is nothing short of incredible.

Oh so he has a few questions or marks on his resume? What elite coach doesn’t other than Jay Wright or Mark Few?

Newsflash, but our current coach is #1 on virtually every such list - and has been squeaky clean here.

 

[thabigbluenation]

Oats. Dude would cut his arm off to win a title and knows he can win the hardware in Lexington.

no matter what they say in public, just about any one of these coaches would cut any appendage or limb off you ask to triple or quadruple their current salaries. money talks and these men are married.

"Hey honey, UK called and offered xyz$, but I really like it here and it's a great place to raise our kids. So I said no........"
wife: " YOU DID WHAT" "6 MILLION DOLLAR A YEAR RAISE AND YOU DID WHAT" **** THE STUPID KIDS, YOU BETTER GET MEETCH OR WHATEVER THE **** HIS NAME IS BACK ON ....HERE GIVE ME YOUR STUPID PHONE. LET ME TALK TO HIM."

 

[gobigbluebell]

- and has been squeaky clean here.

yea, that’s sort of the problem.

 

[SAECATFAN]

Kind of hoped we were living in a post-morality driven college basketball world tbh, or at least the pretenses of one.

Except for whores, of course.

 

[PTI Anon1640710541]

I remember when WWW was funneling us recruits. Those were the good ole days.

 

[catlanta33]

If Cal isn't willing to go back to his shadier days, mix up his NBA2K offense and modernize it then just get someone who will so watching the Cayuts isn't such a GD chore like this past season. Winning cures most everything with CBB. If Bruce Pearl is the answer then I can't imagine he's off-limits, or anyone not currently under FBI investigation or a #metoo'er. Are these guys playing school or f'ing basketball? Win or hit the bricks and next man up. Just make it so this past season never, ever happens again.
