Kentucky Bball in Shambles: Hiring a bum from BYU

[GatorJ]

And now at Arkansas!

The impact of Coach Cal's move from Kentucky to Arkansas

John Calipari is headed across the SEC. As his 15-season career in Lexington ends, what does the move mean for both schools?

"Once a coach gets to the point where his athletic director needs to release a statement confirming his return as coach, it's hard to regain the trust of the fan base."

Interesting observation...

I hope not.

Good luck at Arky Calipari.
And by "good luck", I hope you get chiggers.

Donovan to Lexington probably comes off as a sacrilege. So would have SOS to South Carolina 20 years ago. At the end of the day, it always comes down to fit and finish. Donovan will likely be looking for work as it is. I don't want to see him go there, but I won't be shocked if he does.

I'd be pissed if that happened. Unlike South Carolina, Kentucky is our conference rival. It'd be a dick move

I don't see him coming back to college. He is a NBA guy.

What are you going to do....write a strongly worded letter?

Nothing will ever make me hate Billy, not even coaching Kentucky. Too many great memories.

I am probably in the minority here, but I think the idea of college rivalries in both football and basketball are nowhere near what they once were and mean little to nothing anymore. Whether it be the state of college athletics thru realignments or NIL or the transfer portal, I just do not think it plays much importance.

 

[MJMGator]

Billy will tell them to get bent.

 

[bacongator]

Maybe we can get some of their players from the portal.

We'll find out soon enough. His seat has grown very warm in Chicago.

 

[MidwestChomp]

If UK doesn't make a hire this week, it's possible they are waiting until Chicago loses in the playoffs. I wouldn't hate him for doing that. He did get his coaching start there. But, I would be surprised if he did.

For once im gonna agree with you. I will still despise UGA and FSU and um but with all the fcknning transferring going on our hero today may be playing for our hated rival tomorrow. Oh wait, that did happen. And now that the SEC is headed toward obvlivion with more and more members our rivalries will diminish. I hope Billy doesnt go to UK. But SOS went to USCe so who knows.

Well, me personally, I still hate Kentucky as much as I did 10 years ago. **** them

I'm gonna write a strongly worded letter to your mom.
