How many believe that Cal has Coached his last at UK ?

Just for grins & giggles, how many of you guys get this feeling that Calipari has Coached his last game at UK ?
Benn on their boards , reading post after post after post from UK fans, they are just roasting him. Many saying they are DONE that they will not support UK basketball anymore until Cal is gone. - -Has a huge buyout but fans think they will reach an agreement to get him out.
Matt Norlander for CBS sports says he actually feels Calipari has Coached his last game at UK. ,How Uk has become an irrelevant in post Season, that Coach has lost contact , constantly getting these elite incoming freshman classes but the culture has changed with the Portal and NIL - -once again Cal is going to be losing most of his freshmen class , Mitchell out of eligibility and such.
Charles Barkley on Cal’s butt pretty good to saying that Cal always gets all these Mcdonalds all Americans and then promptly gets beat by kids that eat at Mcdonalds lmao. - -gotta love that. – Bottom line is - -The fan base is through- - many , many saying they will no longer support the program as long as Cal is there,–Lot of their fan base thinks they ought to bring in Scott Drew from Baylor, mentioned Stevans , Wright , - -They seem to think Cal is done and will move on to the Michigan job taking Howards place - -his welcome has ran out at UK. - -So what do you think ?

@jayballer67 I highly doubt it happens but that has to be frustrating for their fans. The way he recruits just doesn’t work anymore. I like having at least a few players stick around and develop. Hockey line changes every year does nothing against teams that have experience.

We have been fortunate in a way ,Coach has always been able to get good Freshmen once in awhile like this incoming year Flory is like ranked the 10th best according to 247 - -then he has pretty good luck at getting kids around upper 30’- 40 # ranked players - -pretty good players and develop stick like 3 years and even the whole 4. -Now having success with portal to – -Cal still wants to just get the best recruiting class and then they under achieve - -Their fan base is HOT - - and want him gone

If UK’s donor pony up the money, he can be fired tomorrow. His buyout price is 75% of the total value of his deal which would come out to about $33 million. It’s not an obscene number like what Texas A&M paid Jimbo Fisher this past offseason to go away so it’s something that’s doable if UK really want to part ways with Cal.

Ya very doable , everything I read off Rupp didn’t see one positive comment on him .- - Many , Many saying they are done , and want him out- - Talking about Scott Drew. Kind of surprised many think he might move on to Michigan to replace Howard, all I know is they are cooking him on the site, . There are even one’s that have tried to continue to support him these past years and even them have said they can’t do it anymore.

The bigger issue with firing Calipari is who replaces him. Cal isn’t someone you fire on a whim, you only fire him when you already know who is replacing him.

@Texas-Hawk-10 that’s exactly why I don’t think it happens. I did just read an article on the athletic basically calling him out for never owning up to the losses he faced the last few seasons. We very true with gallivanting around saying Talent over experience the last few years. I think his use of timeouts and lack of defensive adjustments was nothing short of laughable. Bill Self ia a coach John Calipari is a recruiter not a coach. He literally has never took a lesser talented team anywhere.

That’s one thing they are really complaining about-- their defense has no clue. I think Cals philosophy is roll the ball out and out score them.
They have three 7 footers, ONE the fans werre all up in arms, cause they had such a cow trying to get him cleared to play - - -finally happened he played a little then he disappeared into obscurity --all I know him by was Z a foreign player. Think they had another 7 footer by the name of Bradshaw - -started he Season hurt finally hit the floor then hardly played him , Don’t think they have enough balls for the ego’s

I will say that having the extra Covid year has hurt his approach from the experience stand. Between this season and next I believe all those guys will be gone.
