I am so sick and tired of all of the negative surrounding this program. I blame most of it on NIL, practice facilities, Calipari and Barnhart. We should be second to none in facilities. I shouldn’t even have to say that. This black cloud hanging over the program has done nothing but bring negative energy. I hate this NIL trash. It has ruined college athletics. And if my AD and basketball coach can’t make things work then I want them both gone.

Mitch should have called Cal's bluff on UCLA inquiry a few years ago. "Well John , if you're not happy here in Lexington or you feel you're not being more than fairly compensated then you're more than welcome to explore other opportunities".
I agree but back then calipari was on a roll and no one saw this coming. And if he left Mitch would have never made it.
I tell all my employees, even the great ones, that they should always be looking out for their own best interest. If they see a better job somewhere else, I'll help them get it. Granted, it's relatively easy for me to find good replacements, but trying to hold on to great talent that wants to go elsewhere is a fool's errand.
He could have kept him with a raise and no lifetime contract. That's the issue most of us have with it. We could have made it through say 2023 in 2019 and everyone would have been ok with it.
Sadly that’s the way it is at all big time programs. You think sabens boss has any control over him
Let Saban start producing unacceptable results for Bama football and he'd be replaced.Nobody is irreplaceable.
