$33m buyout for Calipari if they fired him. He owes them nothing for leaving.Kind of like Mike White.
We were thinking about firing you anyway, so thanks for not making us pay a buyout.

It is amazing. Think of how much they saved. Or how lucky Oregon is to bot have to pay a cent to be rid of Original Taggart and Moron Mario vs how much we have and will have to pay to flush our turds.$33m buyout for Calipari if they fired him. He owes them nothing for leaving.
so is this actually a done deal? nothing has been formally announced. I heard this morning on the sports radio that there may be an issue b/c his contract stipulates he's not allowed to communicate with other schools about potential employment. i realize he hasnt, his agent has, but the word on the street is KY thinks they may have a leg to stand on in this situation. personally I'd encourage him to walk. the fan base wanted him gone, its clear his lost his mojo, and its obvious he doesnt want to be there anymore. why hold him hostage when you can release him scott free and look like the good guy? either way KY sucks at life
What was Calipari's deal, lost his edge recruiting and gave up?
The problem is that high school recruiting is only half the battle now. He can’t rely on recruiting services anymore.What was Calipari's deal, lost his edge recruiting and gave up?
Calipari, 65, signed a five-year deal that will see the veteran coach earn $7 million per season, the university said in a press release. The deal includes a $1 million signing bonus, $500,000 retention bonuses each year, and one-time bonuses based on how far the Razorbacks advance in the NCAA tournament.
This reminds me of the mullen hire, a guy that showed warts but hired anyway. Warts get bigger.
Not only that. A few years back, duke started reeling in the top tier guys and the g league ignite started taking a few of the elite guys. So landing those 1 and done lottery picks became pretty scarce for him .And like you said, at that point, you have to really be able to evaluate the transfer portal and he obviously wasn't as good at that.The problem is that high school recruiting is only half the battle now.

You have to have an eye for talent and fit from the transfer portal.
Cal realized too late that some vets can help and they had two 4 or 5 year guys this year along with all those frosh. Problem is Cal is a shyt game coach. He made his mark with good talent and playing tough D and owning the boards like he did at UMass and Memphis. when he went away from that and tried to join the we are a great offense, he showed he sux. And you cannot win with just the best frosh anymore. His teams losses recently in the tourney were to smaller schools but with veteran players and probably a better coach.Not only that.

The problem with Kentucky is that if you go 5 minutes out of Louisville, Lexington or Frankfort, you’re in…Said he never felt completely comfortable in Kentucky. Was really looking for more of true southern state.
that is the part that Durty likes.The problem with Kentucky is that if you go 5 minutes out of Louisville, Lexington or Frankfort, you’re in…
Hurley, Jay Wright, Oats, and now Scott Drew said nope. BD said he's committed to Chicago and seems like the owners like him enough to keep him around.
This is turning into Tennessee football type search.
Golden's name is getting floated on the next tier, but I doubt they hire a young newbie.
