First time no post season since probation 30 years ago. Disgraceful.
So when does enough = enough?

- Start date
Never will be to cal fans. we could lose every game we play and they’d still say “who you gonna harr”. It’s just people who were scarred by BCG and Tubby’s last few years and as a result, are scared of the unknown.
It' because of covid,tough schedule,refs,mean UK fans.
Just give him one more year to get it right. 
If you ask me, this is a bunch of years of not being good. At least KY good.

Who are you replacing him with?
I mean you all knew we sucked two months ago. Whatever your position was then it’s going to be your position now.
Do you think BCG would have won more games then Cal with this team or Tubby? I think they would, better coaching.
If you have another season like this, then you have to move on.
But the last 10 years of being the top program in America gives him some leeway.

Without Cal the program would fall apart.You have to remember Cal built this program.
You're such a predictable joke
ME!! I can coach more than nine wins with this team and for a lot less money. There is your answer. NEXT!
Sure be hard to find someone to go 9-16, lose to UofL, lose to UNC, lose to Ole Miss, lose to UGA and lose in the 1st rd of the SECT.
Where on earth could one find such a coach?

I would and could have coached this team to 9 wins for a fraction of the price.
Anyone buddy. He just turned out the worse season in UK history by far. I’ll take a high school coach with some upside over this. Next question.
That buyout and Mitch the “AD of the year” gives him plenty of leeway. He could stink for 2 more years or more if he chooses to play hardball and not take a reduced buyout.
what would it matter...……….any high school coach would be better than this group
At least Tubby and Billy made a post season tournament.
Cal needs to answer that question, because with a lifetime contract, he is the ONLY ONE that can do anything about it. Hopefully, as HORRIBLE as this season has been, he is sick and tired of rebuilding EVERY year!!!
This was an embarrassment, number 1 recruiting class, #1 transfer and 9 wins. Doesn’t add up?
That doesn't mean what you think it does sparky
I feel like some of you are blaming Coach Cal, which myself and many others find unfair. The man did everything he could this year, hell, he's a victim more so than us. These guys just didn't deliver, he provided the packages and the routes, they just got lost along the way...
Short of an NBA team wanting Calipari, he's not leaving. Now, that doesn't change the fact that he's created a monster with this system and I don't mean that in a good way. This season was inevitable. We've had years where the teams lost a lot and were not good (2013, 2018) but this season is worse case scenario and there's nothing that's going to fix it under Cal. This will be an issue for quite some time.
Yes. That 2008 team was so bad; beyond bad yet went 18-13 and got into the tournament with Porter, Harris, Stevenson as three of their five starters.
That’s a lazy chickenshit argument.
I’m not sure you’re comprehending the OP’s point.
1 bad year and they come out of the woodwork...Everyone that wants Cal gone be careful we could get another Billy G...Who could we get?.. Billy D and Stevens are not coming..so tell me who ....I think many want him gone over the kneeling. any reasonable fan knows Cal has earned a pass this year..
It couldn't get any worse than 9-16.
It could be a lot worse than the last 11 years..Kentucky and Cal are #1 in NCAAT wins. the past 11 years
Bad year? In blueblood terms, this was a train wreck that crashed into a hospital, burned it to the ground and poisoned the surrounding population.

When is enough enough?
This year is enough. Losing record in the SEC. Losing record overrall. Losr in the first game of the SECT. Miss the NCAAT. That's enough for me. I don't care what happened years ago with Cal. This Cal is lost and has no answers or solutions.
He's all talk. #1 recruiting class. Top transfer and he absolutley stunk it up this year. He can go somewhere else and sell his elixir.
I'll say it and I don't care who likes it. He doesn't deserve another year. He's had 12 years. It's not working anymore. He's not gonna change. He doesn't think he needs to change. He needs to go and I don't care what everybody else thinks (national media). His last 6 years have been nothing great. It's time to move on.

It ain't one bad year. He has earned no free pass. He gets paid to produce. The last 6 years he is winning at a 73% pace. That is only above Sutton and BCG. The Cal that came to UK left after his title and HOF.
The last 6 years is plenty of enough data to see that Cal has declined in recruiting and winning.
I don't want Stevens or Donovan. Never have. Never have even considered them. Cal lost his drive and fire.
Also, a bad year 24-10 or along those lines. This wasn't a bad year. It was an hisorically bad year. 100 years bad year. Stop drinking the kool aid and see what is right in front of you.
Totally. Billy D and Brad Stevens aren’t available so that means no coach!
A slew of coaches could replicate John Calipari’s last 6 seasons (including worst in program history). A SLEW of them. Stop living in 2009-2015. Those seasons aren’t happening anymore. Those players aren’t coming here anymore and solid veterans aren’t sticking around like those years. These are facts.
Getting a coach who runs an actual offense and doesn’t have players quit mid season and transfer every year would he nice. Not having to get An entirely brand new team of 2nd tier 5 stars/4 stars and obscure transfers every year ya know?
Last 6 years could EASILY be replicated and could maybe even be fun again.
You’ll be saying this exact same thing next year when we end the season outside of the top 25/in the NIT or maybe a 12 seed.
For these results? Plenty. I’ll take Rick Pitino at half the cost right now. But I know, you keep looking at Cal’s overall body of work and it’s impressive at Kentucky. Even with 0 final fours in 5 years now despite bringing in at least a top 2 recruiting class every year in that time. Still pretty impressive when you take in UK’s bad luck in ‘17 and being a possession or two away in ‘19.
But it’s trending downward from admittedly a very high mountain but that high mountain got him the salary and essentially a lifetime contract so basically, Cal has to have his feet held to the fire for this disastrous season. It’s the only way to reverse some course here. Cal has to feel real pressure most logical fans know he’s going to be the head coach here next season but we can also recognize that this season was unacceptable, real change needs to happen in Lexington for Kentucky to return to contention.
Frank? is that you?
