Are you seriously that cretinous? [laughing]
The whole point of being a troll is to either be clever or funny...you are neither of those.
You suck as a troll...I would suggest starting over.
BTW...how's the CovingtonCat account going?
Anyway...here's a new avatar to make you feel better about yourself

Thank you for the info, my guess very few people want that Gig, Cal would run to it imo
I believe very few want the job because of salary cal issues and the internal makeup of the team, just my opinion. Cal, with the heat hes feeling and the college games new climate, I think would run
They took Westbrook, so they are capable of very dumb decisions
Heard something similar this afternoon from a UK booster. All he said was the interest is mutual but nothing was imminent. His opinion was it would be to coach for maybe a season or two before he would move into the Front office but said he’d be surprised if Cal took it.
FWIW…this guy has been right about a couple things. Marrow staying at UK and he told me about the Elzy extension a week before it was announced. So he is connected

...naw, I just bash Calipari. You're soon to be the Laker's newest fan bAss. Start loadin' up on that Laker's gear. You'll surely look good sportin' your new threads ... representin' for Cal.
Why would Davis want a coach that only got him the 4th most shots on the team ?
So he's leaving a 50 million dollar lifetime contract to go get fired from the Lakers in 2 years? Yeah, seems logical.
He was K. Brooks puppet this year. Boston year before.
Yeah…from what I gathered, there’s enough smoke, but he’s thinking Cal stays but the rumor isn’t empty, that’s for sure
There are three (3) reasons Mussleman will not be at UK: Jerry Jones, the JB Hunt and the Walton families. There is far more NIL money at ARK than there will ever be at KY, unfortunately.
They needed someone to hog the ball while 'bron was busy complaining to the refs.They took Westbrook, so they are capable of very dumb decisions
That’s a problem Calipari certainly won't fix.
Can you imagine the look on 'Bron's face when Cal tells him to sit on the ball at the 3 minute mark with a 3 point lead in an attempt to salt the game away?
perhaps Cal's interest is driven by the need to have his name out there as a viable NBA coaching job candidate
Unlikely to happen but his next college coaching gig would certainly be a step down. Cal isn't landing another blueblood job in his lifetime.

And that's actually what would happen. Not only that, but Bron would publically call him out as the fraud he is too.
The last thing Cal should do, is take an NBA gig. The NBA "can't hide you"
To be honest, I was testing how much you know.
Now to Cal.
I would not be happy or sad if he left.
But I'm pretty sure as a 70 year old that
championships are hard to come by.
And the coach to please this fanbase is not out there.
The Cats have won 6 in my lifetime; so that's 1 every 11-12 years.
I live in a real world.
Bring in the next coach and I will support him, but I darn sure won't allow
him or her to dictate my happiness and as one fan said, rob me of my joy.
That’s cool and all, but there are two facts that you didn't bring up that are very important with regards to Calipari:
1) he has had ten times the talent than any other coach, not named K, in the history of college basketball.
He brags about all the huge NBA contracts that UK players have, who else can say that?
2) he's taken UK to 10 NCAAT appearances, won 1 title and out of the 9 other appearances, 8 of those losses were to underdogs.
Yup, UK has only won 8 titles in it's history, but no other UK coach had the huge talent advantages Cal has had.
I don't want to hear the youth excuse, if that's an excuse, then my question is, why are you doing it that way?
Heck, the 22 team was the most experienced team in the history of the program, but they choked harder than any of Cal's freshmen oriented teams.
You can't have that much top end NBA talent come through your program and only have 1 title in 12 years, that's an awful record.
for years people have said the coach to please the fansbase is not out there
The issue with Cal is by his own admission, this isn't a job that you can do for more than a decade unless you are at the top of your game. Cal hasn't been at the top for quite some time, and while he had flashes in the post 2015 time frame, UK clearly isn't on that trajectory any longer.
We may flop in hiring the next coach, but our history suggests that we will get the coach to please the fanbase until he no longer does, and then we'll get another coach.
Hanging on to a coach because he is good while admitting its probable his best days are behind him isn't an approach to sustained success and getting the next championship, its an approach based on fear that leads to failure.
We've had Rupp, Hall, Sutton, Pitino, Tubby, BCG and Cal.
7 coaches, 5 of them with championships.
that's a 70% hit rate on championships by coaching hires.
Hall took over in 72, won his championship in 78
Pitino took over in 89, won his in 96
Tubby won his in year 1
Cal took over in 2010, won his in 2012
See a pattern here with a coach staying too long at Kentucky?

Good point, but it's still predicated on assumption.
Hard to win 6 in a row.
I appreciate your point and very tactfully written.
Never implied that.
Read my post.
I get your point.
For example, Pat Riley left the Lakers once his motivation fell on deaf ears.
I'm not against a new coach, I just don't have unrealistic expectations.
The roster is actually perfect for Cal and resembles a lot of our teams under him. Starting five of:
Westbrick
Monk
Wenyen
Lebron
AD
Then a bunch of mediocre dudes who can’t shoot and a plethora of bigs off the bench. Match made in heaven.

maybe the expectation should be that 5 out of 7 times we hire a new coach within the first 6 years we get a national championship
Our problem seems to be, with the exception of BCG of hanging on to coaches too long.
Pitino had it right - the pinnacle is winning the championship at Kentucky. Take the notoriety and capitalize on it, let the next guy come in .

And actually brags about it like it was some kind of accomplishment!
Yeah, it's hard to win 6 in a row, but when you have consistent top ent NBA talent, you have a huge advantage, but bad coaching errors cost UK far too many games. The biggest two were the 2010 Wva loss and the 2015 wiscy loss. Those were coaching errors.
Jay Wright, K, Roy Williams and both coaches at UConn, have done better than Cal, with less talent, they just decided that winning college games means more.
When you lose 8 out of 9 to underdogs, you go 9-16 and follow that up with a loss to a 15 seed, YOU'RE THE PROBLEM.
Again, Cal has had a leg up on every coach that has ever walked the UK sidelines, the talent advantage is huge and in my opinion, he should have at least 3 titles and probably 4 with the talent he has had. Only having 1, is really telling.

Not if all the referee bias is true.
Should have is a pair of shoes that I would have to walk in in order to determine it's legitmacy.
Referee bias? You're not one of those are you?
I'll give you the 2017 uNC loss, Higgins hosed us right in front of everyone, but Cal screwed the pooch in 2010 and 2015. Those were the worst two.
He also stunk it up in 2018 and 2019. You have more talent, size and depth, you have to win those games, but he turned them into rock fights and lost.
