Really solid article. Very accurate description of what’s taking place
I agree! he hit the nail on the head
Easy to kick the King when he is down.
Season is far from over.

Tells it like it is. Game has passed him by.
"The same slogans he’s been spitting out since the early 2000s at Memphis have worn thin. And the product looks increasingly stale and unwatchable regardless of what players he puts on the floor. "
Well had to disagree with any of that article.
I would like Cal to turn his notice on Monday morning and walk away.
We can allow the assistant coaches finish the season out.

Hard to disagree with that.
Mitch absolutely 100% needs to be fired for that contract. Absolutely inexcusable.
Finally! Now will local media say the same? Doubtful. Love KSR but it’s tiresome seeing MJ’s continued disappointing game/season tweets then he goes on the radio and says he still wants Cal as our coach.
Thanks ace, that stings but it is on the money. A lot of national media are paying attention to the sorry state of the program.
Mitch Barnhart needs to be fired for that contract. We are joined by the hip to this old steamy pile of dog crap because of it. Should never ever be put in this kind of position. Period.
We need Cutler to unretire. He'd love this ****.
I don't consider MJ to be a real UK fan anyway, just an opportunist. Bet he's loving all those clicks on his site that Cow's generating with his embarassing losses which cause angry UK fans to comment on every article.
Serious question? Do you have some type of disorder or mental illness?
Barring a miracle run, we are an NIT team. This season has been a BIG disappointment. I would like to see a change.
The team is not good, but the media should be embarrassed that they ranked UK #4 pre season with Toppin/Wheeler/CJ as starters.
You swallow,, too?
Wolken has said for years…Calipari will leave every job on bad terms and the fans will hate him.
Disagree there. He's a fan but I guess he's waiting until next season when Cal fails again to finally say it. Problem is, this ain't turning around and it's actually getting worse in real time. The folks with the loudest voices need to finally call it like it is. I think we're at a point where rival fans are even hoping Cal is here for another decade.
Do you keep an excel spreadsheet of how many stupid things you can post on here every day?…..and then try every day to beat it?
If Mitch does so does Eli Capulito. He is the one who ultimately approved it
Very good article and he’s totally right hits it right on the head. What we need is more national media people to write these and keep getting these out there. Eventually Cal and his ego can’t take being told by everyone that he’s past his prime and maybe we can get into the buyout stage sooner rather than later!
I know you’re a weird sunshine troll, but John Calipari has never been the king of anything, he never won, and never will win a 2nd title, he will be remembered as one of the worst national title winning coaches of his era, as the guy who did the least with the most talent.
Like we were with IU and Tom Crean.
Neither here nor there but it was the Board of Trustees that approved that contract.
That is a scathing article filled with a lot of uncomfortable truths.
Let’s see what happens, will Mitch pull every favor he can to fire Cal, will Mitch force Cal’s friends off the coaching staff and hire a real assistant coach to revamp the offense, or will Mitch continue to allow his program to be held hostage by a used car salesman and allow the program to become Indiana-esque in degradation ?
Hell maybe Mitch will be fired, he absolutely has lost control of his flagship program, 20 years of being a good AD or not, that’s pretty damn unforgivable.

You’re right….I thought I would stop at Eli but the bottom line is that Cal is not solely Mitches fault
The Board of Trustees trusted their athletic director, and their athletic director burned their *** 6 ways from Sunday.
Might be time for them to vote on Barnhart’s job.
That was really well written and spot on.
You can say he hates him, but people that talk about emotions and try to turn attention away from the facts are not acting in good faith either.
Regardless of his personal feeling about Cal the things he wrote in this article are mostly very true, obfuscating about his personal feeling rather than challenging the claims of the article is deflection.
Think won’t change because Cal refuses to change. It would hurt his pride that the UK fans and others were right.
He runs the same offense and defense every season and isn’t willing to change.

And here I had come to believe that journalism was dead.
It's amazing how many of the so called 'villains' of the past in the media I wind up agreeing with their assessment of Calipari these days. Didn't want to hear it early on when Kentucky was winning but hard to argue with anything with the current state of Kentucky Basketball these days.
