As Kentucky limps toward March, it's obvious the John Calipari era needs to end | Opinion

Ranked No. 4 in the preseason, Kentucky is danger of missing the NCAA Tournament in John Calipari's 14th season.

Article is pretty spot on.

And brutal. Wow

After nearly 14 seasons, he’s low on energy, out of ideas and coaching a team that has underperformed so profoundly any other Kentucky coach would be fired by the end of the month.

Calipari, ever the salesman, had his talking points in order after the loss to Georgia.

That’s unacceptable. That’s fireable. And yet, Calipari is almost certainly not going to be fired because it would cost $40 million to do so.

Tough to build strong teams to make deep tourney runs with so much roster turnover. I just wish we were still playing them. Always felt like we faired well against them.

The long knives are out! This opinion writer did not mince words. That said, $40 Mil is still $40 Mil. Enjoy your mess, UK

maybe we can start a gofundme page and send a care basket......
They made their deal with their devil. Now let them figure out how to get out of the mess.

good time to be a couch salesman in KY.

Maybe the Care Basket can be shipped on a couch... with the Butane Lighters in the basket. hahahaha

That makes me real sad... okay, I'm over it! Looking fore the next Buckyville meltdown.

Nba draft is right around the corner uk fans…

 

[ThreeToMakeTwo]

Keep him at all costs. Why do i want uk to improve?

 

[HoosierJimbo89]

Calipari's past 3 seasons don't look like the rest, and he is 64 years old. I don't know if UK fans will give a coach 3 mediocre seasons, even one with Calipari's record.

$40 million buyout - LOL!!!!

Only thing more enjoyable than watching UK miserable would be watching Purdoo miserable.

If I was Cal I might consider a negotiated reduction in that buyout. If the university is unwilling to finance the divorce at that price some of those inbred hillbillies that don't have that kind of patience may just decide to take matters into their own hands. Cal might prefer a little less to avoid being "hidestrapped to a railcar and sent up the Monon".

Comatose Cal needs to go. Any program can buy a team now. Cal is no longer needed.

Depends on your perspective. I live in Southern Indiana and work In Louisville. The situation with UK is priceless!

 

[RegionHoosiers]

$40 million buyout - LOL!!!!

That's more than Tom Allen's!

 

[hookyIU1990]

Why not both?

 

[rocketo]

Why not both?

Don’t get me wrong. I thoroughly enjoy watching UK suck!

And I believe that was before their loss to UGA. God bless them sweeties.

Greatest night in UK History

you might be right.....but i don't think so. his recruits are prolly questioning their decision based on the current product on the floor. NIL might handcuff them in for next year. but they could get some of that at another location. may depend on how they finish. UK has absolutely no patience with a teetering, underachieving bball program.
