I really can’t stand this guy. He is obviously slimy and so condescending each time he is interviewed.
John Calipari

Yeah, I have disliked him since his days at UMass. He can recruit like a mofo though.
Did you hear the announcer’s comment at the end of the game. “Undermanned” Kentucky team. Yes, Washington is out, but excuse me if I don’t weep for a team that has 4 and 5* players lining the bench
Slimy and condescending? No he isn't. I read somewhere he loves the Lord!
Huh, just like Alford.
The biggest dbag in college basketball, but all the analyst schmucks eat it up. Wish nothing but him and Kentucky the worst.
He should take a pay cut because he's being outdone by CoachK. Duke is using Calipari Playbook to get the best 5 one and dones and reload with new team every year.
Loved it when the old temple coach came into Callipari's press conference and wanted to kick his ass. Funny stuff right there
Every school that slimeball Calipari has coached at has gone on probation and had to vacate wins because of what went on while he was there. He is never directly implicated but slime trails do not lie. He is a cheater and he uses booster bag men to do it.
Calipari says his job is to prepare kids for the NBA. Recruits buy that and enlist in his NBA boot camp for a year or two. If Kentucky wins along the ways it's a bonus...
Haters! I love Coach Cal. He’s a great interview, fun, enthusiastic and the kids he’s gotten have been great kids for the most part, a lot better than some of the scumbags Duke has gotten in the past. Jealousy is a wicked drug.
He cheats.....Pretty good at it, too.
I’m happy to be on record that I wouldn’t. Although the early highs would be fun, I would follow the NBA more if my college team churned over players year after year. Can they even say to have enjoyed Anthony Davis, for example?
Iowa can certainly remember their heros.
Plus, being expected to be at the top all the time brings in a lot of anger and disappointment, one can look to “fans” of Iowa wrestling right now. If not on top, anger abounds.
He’s a cheater, plain and simple.
I actually have no idea if he directly/indirectly pays players, but he has his schtick down pat and basically says “look at what I have been able to produce in pro talent and draft picks” and those who have future in the sport of basketball eat it up. I can’t hate on that.
Ferentz has a story to tell in terms of preparing kids for a future in the game of football, he just doesn’t sell it as well. I wish he could/would.
Does that make me slimy? Yeah, probably. I like a mix of sizzle and steak. You eat with your eyes first.

I always liked Denny (crum) when he was at Louisville.
38-2 (16-0) & NCAA champs. Yes I'm quite sure they enjoyed Anthony Davis.
He's a good coach, as well. I realize he brings in talent more than ever now at Kentucky, but he is basically molding a new crop every year and they seem to always do well. Great coaching is also needed with the talent.
This is the most surprising hire ever in any sport.
Agreed. They must have backed up the Brinks truck for him and for NIL. That's crazy!
Until Fran goes to Kentucky…
His days are done. Now, everyone gets to do what he did before but legally. So you need to have a coach that can both deal with the recruiting aspect that is more difficult but also be able to coach. Calipari has only been able to utilize one of those aspects his entire career and it's paid off with one title and brand new teams every year that gets bounced in the first round.
This is a bad move by Arkansas IMO. I'm also wondering if Kentucky will be getting in trouble soon because that's another fabulous aspect of having Calipari as your coach. If you can't win at UK, it won't be any easier at Arkansas. Money was never a problem at UK.

This can mean only one thing. Fran to Kentucky!!!!
Arkansas is going to become a perennial powerhouse. They have had good basketball in the past and have good recruiting grounds close by. Add to that big NIL and Calipari and they're going to be competing for championships within a couple years.
