Talk about a fall from grace.

I’ve completely blanked on his tenure at UK and Texas Tech. Was he fired after two years at UK simply for on court performance?

Yep pretty much. He missed the NCAAT once which they hadn’t done in forever and that was it. It’s been a long time but I feel like him getting replaced by Calipari was the world’s worst kept secret.

A combination of missing the tournament, he wasn't well liked by the AD, and UK had a chance to hire Cal.

I may completely have made this up, but weren’t there also some rumblings about him having a drinking problem when he was at UK?

A&M people said he had a problem there and then I think it got worse at UK.
