Honestly, being real, I could see it happening, the media would instantly attack the UK fan base, he would take his recruits with him and likely go on a big roll again like he did when he first arrived at UK. It's our luck and likely our fate.
Cal at Texas
- Thread starter philstat
- Start date
Imagine him coming back to Rupp the 1st time they're in the SEC.
It would suck…for a year.
I think I’d take the trade at this point. I want my hope back.

Hard to argue with that, though not sure UK has the magic at the moment to lure a big time replacement.
UK always has the magic. The day UK doesn’t have the magic is the day college basketball as we know it is officially dead.
And if that day ever comes, I won’t even miss it because it will just be the inmates running the asylum at that point. We’re already halfway there.
I would boo louder than I booed Rick at any point.
Kentucky still is the best coaching job in the country. Just because Cal is failing doesn’t mean another big time coach doesn’t want the job. Trust me there are plenty that would leave top ranked programs and come to Kentucky
Don't understand why they would want him, recruiting maybe
It's be amazing for UK if he left w/o having to buy him out.
1. Shepp ain't going with him anywhere
2. But even if the rest leave...do you really think he's going to do great things there? Wagner and Edwards are great. But Dillingham is not a great team player IMO. Bradshaw is a long good player...but he's not a scorer.
3. Who is the bulk for them to anchor the paint?
4. Cal is still going to do his stupid iso ball, no zone defense, drive into a packed lane, no inbounds play, 2 fouls and you sit first half nonsene etc...

Hell cal could not even get Wall, Cousins, Bledsoe, and Patterson to a final 4. He can take all of next years recruits with him as long as he goes. Please go now cal, and let Orlando finish out this year as coach!!
It would be the best move for him. His style was imaginative 15 years ago but it has not changed and has been figured out. He would need to reinvent himself and Texas would give him a great opportunity to do that. He has shown no willingness to try here and nothing says to me that he wants to or has the ablity to. He has not shown me anything other than an ability to recruit since 2015

If cal leaves for Texas then why do UK fans get attacked? I mean the fans getting attacked for mediocre results is BS. How many year ms are fans supposed to just sit back and accept mediocre results without starting to make some noise. It’s not like national pundits aren’t also attacking cal and his antiquated philosophies at this stage. Make as much noise as needed so cal knows he.is no longer welcome here so he does leave for elsewhere. I’ll help the SOB pack and I hate packing up for a move.
Agree with everything but "a big roll." He isn't going to do anything with elite talent until he modernizes his offense.
Anybody hiring him now would be doing it 'hoping' a change of scenery will reinvigorate him. It wouldn't be for what he's been showing in recent years.
I don't see letting the potential incoming class hold us hostage.
Yeah. I mean, assuming he's still here, I expect that next year he gets to fully recapture his old formula he's been chasing with the roster etc and will win some games...but only to get shown again the formula doesn't work anymore.
We can't hide you anymore cal! You are done here! You are and will continue to fail, because you have your priorities in the wrong place. You have hijacked the greatest college basketball program of all time to use it as your platform to train individual players to get to the NBA instead of coaching. Please take your mission and go now! You are not wanted here! For all that support you and your mission over the well being of our program please go with cal you are not wanted or needed here either!!
