i wish that were the case. but that contract means he can go the next several season without winning a game and not be fired. He can’t be fired for poor performance.
Will this Cal hate ever abate?

I do. I hope he stays. One of the nicest, most decent human beings I’ve ever seen. I just think there’s a lot of red tape on his situation. Don’t get me wrong … I’d like to have both of them but I just don’t see it.
I hate what he's done to the program. The level of apathy is unheard of in our fanbase. It's absolutely rampant now.
No. Although depending on who the new coach would be ppl will probably come around again.
Ppl on here love pitino again...although if he had the 1st 7 seasons he had at uofl here coming back plus with all the scandal ppl would want him gone.

Don’t question it. It’s right there for us to see. Has to be right, right?
Rephrase: if he can win in the post season.
It would be much harder to win at a level in general considering he's won almost 80% of his games here
I think he means while cal is still at UK. The hate will exist for all eternity if cal doesn’t move on soon. There will be massive resentment and it will make the pitino disgust look like love if cal doesn’t go soon
It kinda is tho...noticed if you simply disagree with a point in one thread you're automatically called a cal lover?
Yeah I understand what he meant. But Cal will move on, and in my opinion, soon. History repeats itself. It’s actually repeating itself now if you think about it.
The Green Bay sweep, you lead the Green Bay sweep!! Lol
No different than being called a Cal hater if you talk about what Cal has done wrong.Look at the title of this thread.
He’s got two options:
1. Leave
2. Win a title
I can’t see #2 happening. But he’ll get next year at least to prove himself.
There’s still hope he’ll retire this off season
It's not hate. It's simply a growing, and perhaps now matured, awareness that the University of Kentucky basketball coach is incompetent, and that there is no possibility of a reversal of the downward spiral as long as Calipari is the coach. Such a high level of disappointment breeds a similarly high level of frustration, which leads to the many and varied types of posts that the Calipariphiles love to lump together as "hate." And of course, Calipari's arrogance and total lack of self-awareness doesn't help. But you're right, katwest ... it's not "hate."
It reminds me of the old story about President Harry Truman. People would often yell out spontaneously, during his speeches, "Give 'em hell, Harry." When asked about that, Truman said, "I'm not giving them hell. I'm just telling them the truth, and they think it's hell."
There is.There’s still hope he’ll retire this off season
Haven't you seen Predator vrs Alien? All UK fans need to watch that movie. Tipton is Predator. Cal is the Alien. We are the humans!
Tipton doesn't really hate UK. He just hates the fact that we have always cheated and bent the rules, etc.
Calipari or any coach or player is not worth my time to hate. Most of us just want him to change or move on. He made some changes and it worked well most of the season but then he panicked and pulled back and UT cost uk big time.
He isnt winning another title here so I say what's the point. We have had some solid coaches stuck on 1 title here although pitino may have won a 2nd at uk if he stayed another few years. The problem is mitch and the Richie rich mofos aren't gonna get rid of him so best hope is he leaves on his own or moves to admit role after 2 more seasons. If this board survived 2 years of coach g they can deal with 2 more years of calipari.

There’s a lot of people saying they don’t hate and yet there’s a lot of hate on this board. In reality the two are not mutually exclusive
With some of our nutcase fans, probably not. Those are the fans when he wins another Natty, will say he should have won 3 or 4. Those fans will never be satisfied with Cal, or any Coach for that matter.
I think Bill better go back to hiding is his bungalow .. I mean crying because " AFTER 12 DAYS" this board is still upset .. SMH .
Serious question, so why aren't you over posting "constructive" threads on say... tonight's Micky-D game? Instead you're over here instigating your "fellow UK fans" (wink wink). You don't seem to have a problem 'bashing' your UK brethren with whom you disagree on certain issues, on a daily basis. In other words, it's OK to be critical (i.e. 'bash') fans but not an employee of the University?
Yeah it’s beginning to feel like the last days of tubby albeit more damage to the program
Winning cures everything and losing spoils all.
Possibly minus those whose primary lens is regressive politics in the most ardent corners of that map.

You're mad at the dude because he doesn't show outward happiness about going to the final 4 or winning a title?
That's funny.
Who cares..........so long as goes to final 4s and wins
Probably a major overstatement. We went from the toilet with Eddie to the throne with Pitino. Then, we went to the bathroom with Tubby but fell into the toilet with Billy. Then, we went back to the throne with Cal but, more recently, we are in the outhouse. We will be fine one way or the other.
He doesn't put UK first. He's said that over and over. It's not a debate on that point.
We didn’t even have a great season, though. We won absolutely nothing. It was very very average by uk standard
A major overstatement? The first non probationary losing season since the 20s? Losing to a 15 seed? This is actually worse than the Eddie Sutton days. Atleast then there was a reason. We have a coach now who is grossly overpaid, hasn’t won a tournament game since he got this stupid contract and got the contract after losing. At least UK could wipe their hands of Sutton and move on fast. According to some here and they say it with glee “Cals not going anywhere until he wants to”. That means the program is being held hostage by a guy who cannot win. Hasn’t beat a P5 team in the ncaa since when? 2017 against UCLA? This is the most perilous time in UK basketball history. The bottom has fallen out and everyone acts like oh well we can’t do anything. Why Barnhart isn’t already gone is a head scratcher and honestly the university president should resign for strapping the school with such a high non academic cost.
Stop. There are few, if any, “Cal fans”. Everyone on this board is a UK fan that has different views on what direction is best for the program. For the people wanting to fire Cal, and I’ve asked this in at least 4 threads without getting a response, who are you replacing him with. Unless you can confirm a better, realistic, replacement this just continues to be an annoying whining session from the anti-Cal contingent.
