Had to edit that I meant tyson not jbhunt twice but yes! Jerry too! So much influence in such a small place but seems like a perfect storm situation here
Kentucky free of Calipari. Lexington is a perfect place to build a COLLEGE program. Arkansas will never win under Calipari. Stroking his ego on NBA draft day is all that matters.
Thank you and good luck Cal. The conference just keeps getting better! He had to land at an SEC or Big Ten job to have the resources. Arkansas was open and a perfect fit. Go big blue! *BBN*
Muss is where he's wanted to be, back home and the opportunity opened up. He brought us back to relevance in Basketball and we need to give credit where it's due. Left under less that great circumstances but honestly, would it have been any easier if we fired him or he left? Good luck to him, we are in a good spot and looking forward to the future...WPS
@@LDW76-k3h - I do not care about a farewell speech, I do not care that Muss went to USC. There isn't one thing we can do about it, If you don't like him. Then more power to ya', he's not here...time to move on.
Yea. This is the best way forward for all parties. Kentucky fans/boosters want a change of leadership and Cal needed a change in scenery. It is best for both to part ways
@@ghxstrebornummm what? Pitino left to coach the Celtics. Pitino revived UK from probation and never even had a hint of rule violations while at UK. Pitino’s off court endeavors got him kicked out of U of L.
EXACTLY!!!! We want 1 thing in Kentucky and that’s Championships. He couldn’t win with John Wall and Cousins. The Anthony Davis team would’ve won the title with no coach at all.
Why? He has freinds and family here and all three major sports (Baseball,Football and basketball) have been ranked within the top 20 within the last decade. Look around how many schools can say that?? Add to that there is 0 veiwership compition in Arkansas. Hes obviously a guy that like the admiration in Arkasas he will be a god thruought the entire state. Add even further to that check your best cities to live list...yep NW Arkansas is on it.
@@Urawizardarylol. My mom is from Arkansas. What a dump. Straight up one of the worst places in America. Kentucky is not any better culturally but it is dramatically better geographically.
@@mattsch21 I moved back after the Army and living in Utah, California, and Colorado. Kentucky is better geographically? It sounds to me like you've never actually lived in Arkansas.
Billy’s contract with the Bulls is up this year. Everybody is saying Oates and Hurley but Billy was the last coach to go back to back aside from Hurley now and he has Kentucky ties. He would be the first guy I contacted.
Greg McDermott would be great coach if would be interested. Creighton always strong with medium level talent. Also has strength of character with Kentucky reputation would still get great talent.
SEC basketball players are all making more than than probably everyone on campus but the BB coaches and FB coaches, Univesiity president and Ath Dir! Stop with the dumb arguments
Yeah….. the school is,giving them an education, it’s up to them to take advantage of it Schools,shouldn’t pay players, However if the players can get NIL deals, the more the better
@@kylewade8704you do know that students all over universities have full ride scholarships and work for plus get paid by the universities? Why are athletes excluded?
Possibly, but that could turn into a Billie Gillispie situation since he doesn't have a high profile to be given much time. Also he just took the St. Louis job.
@@prodigy513 Did he? I didn’t know that. I think he has a bright future ahead of him and you’re right, it could turn into a Billy G type of situation and that’s always a possibility with any coach who hasn’t proved himself in a power 5 conference honestly. I just really thought he did a great job with those kids this year.
Aww... looks like stacking rosters with 1-n-DUN prospects was a great concept while it lasted but now that college ballers have plenty of other options good ole JC is struggling to win. The game has changed and that cheat code is gone.
Scott drew built that Baylor program back up from the bottom of the bottom. He has a good thing going just like jay wright did and doesn’t have the pressure that a Kentucky job would give. I don’t think he leaves
If you look at his resume and how his "Elite" coaching skills and his 'elite' teams have performed...I'd pass. The game has passed him and his ways by.
Calipara wasn't into coaching Kentucky anymore, look at his last 2 trips to the big dance out in first round. Maybe the Ozarks will be a nice change of pace.
Because he couldn’t handle the pressure. Great recruiter, terrible coach. He got out coached by Oaklands coach and they ran the same zone defense in EVERY GAME THIS SESSON.
Cal has always been concerned with Cal. He came to Kentucky to make his sending players to the NBA more successful. Were KENTUCKY. YOURE expected to WIN 🏆’s. The players who are NBA material will go to the NBA without Cal.
Because most ex players opinion is actually valued whereas a nobody who has never played the sport trying to commentate on it is what we call stupidity
Undoubtedly best recruiter of talent, however, coaching never a strength. Relied on talent but ego over took way he mishandled his use of it as evidenced how quickly young talent excelled in NBA . Good move for Cal as well as Kentucky!
I would love to have Pitino back but he’s got that Louisville Cardinal tattoo lol and his off the court extra curricular activities won’t make him a candidate at Kentucky unfortunately.
Arkansas will be tired of him after a couple years too. Or maybe not. Arkansas is content with having an over .500 record. Mr. Tyson is paying Cal, not Arkansas. lol. Good luck Razorbacks.
If you get your NIL money cutoff and lose all your players it takes away from his credibility and ego! This was planned and yes it was a force out, a SMART way to do it!
11:27 Do you guys actually watch Kentucky play? There’s not been a close game that Kentucky won this year that Cal coached the players to the win. If Cal keeps recruiting freshman and doesn’t adapt to the transfer portal and this NIL era he WILL NOT make the final 4 in the foreseeable future. College basketball is changing and Cal isn’t willing to change with it or else he would’ve stayed at the most winningest program of all time in Kentucky. He ran from the problem instead of facing it head on and resolving it. Where I come from that makes you a coward. And I guarantee he doesn’t come out with a 3 qtr zip. He will be back to those expensive suits next season in Arkansas. Why? Because that’s what he does. He did the same when he left Memphis. Go watch his last coaching game at Memphis and look how he’s dressed then watch his debut at Kentucky.
Scott Drew is 🗑️ his record is top heavy he had little success since Covid season but other than that it’s garbage and that isn’t the hire to make. Mitch has to hit a home run of home runs! He has to hire a really big name or a really insanely talented coach! Both cost big and anything less is probably gonna cost Mitch his job as well!
He got Kenny Brooks from Virginia Tech for the women's basketball team and that was a great hire. So that gives me hope that he might get this right, but we'll see
True Kentucky basketball fans will miss Coach Cal. #1 players coach in my lifetime. To all other band wagon fans u will have to learn to miss him. #bluecareful what u wish for. True blue college basketball fans will miss u coach. Coach Cal made more millionaires then stock market. Im truly blue for my bbn.
I hope I'm wrong and it's good for both sides but I've got a gut feeling BBN will be a little more blue then normal. Until we as fans show more respect for how hard this job is to do in Lexington, I'll be dreaming of #9. Always and 4ever bleeding blue
Hope Calipari is better at Arkansas. He has been a huge loss at UK over the last 9+ years. That was our last Final Four. Nothing since 2015 at Kentucky with the best classes in the nation over and over? Calipari is all about getting players to the NBA, not about winning for your college. UK lost to a 14 and 15 seed, 2 of the last 3 years. Kentucky has won 1 tournament game under Calipari in the last 5 years! Calipari is all about the fans worshipping him. After the Kentucky fans quit worshipping him at Kentucky he is ready to go to Arkansas?? With 5 stars over the last 5 years at UK we have only won 1 game in the NCAA Tournament! Good luck!
That next Kentucky v Arkansas game is gonna be legendary
Arkansas has tyson,Walmart and JB hunt Headquaters for a small town with NO veiwership compitition its a great landing spot to build a program
They also have Tyson,Jerry Jones
Had to edit that I meant tyson not jbhunt twice but yes! Jerry too! So much influence in such a small place but seems like a perfect storm situation here
Also Jerry Jones contributions annually
Kentucky free of Calipari. Lexington is a perfect place to build a COLLEGE program. Arkansas will never win under Calipari. Stroking his ego on NBA draft day is all that matters.
@@shalom8858lol why wish him bad? You sound like a salty hater

cal was totally burnt out. time for something new
Yea. This is the best way forward for all parties. Kentucky fans/boosters want a change of leadership and Cal needed a change in scenery. It is best for both to part ways
They said Rick pitino was too much of a "New Yorker" to fit at Kentucky. Guy could have three-peated 😂
It was Pitinos off the court endeavors that got him kicked out of Kentucky. Then Tubby Smith won a championship with Pitinos team.
@@ghxstrebornummm what? Pitino left to coach the Celtics. Pitino revived UK from probation and never even had a hint of rule violations while at UK.

One factor in the Louisville offer to Scott Drew is that U of L is already paying 2 or 3 former coaches that were let go.

who cares???????? one and done recruiting was his downfall, guess NBA will go to Arkansas
Arkansas has already been spitting talent out to the NBA.
16:15 Oates is a 20 million. Kentucky just saved $34 million with Cal quitting. Kentucky has the boosters and funds to buy out whoever’s contract.
Dam only took him 4 years to release
DId he get his giant buyout or walk away?
@@I.am_Grootwalk away for more money
I wonder if Kentucky fans will complain about him taking recruits to arkansas? Considering kentucky did that to memphis i hope they don't

Thamel gonna sit there and act like he didn't chase down Eric Bledsoes Algebra teacher trying to get Cal out before now 😂

Major win for Arkansas. But they're gonna lose in the first couple rounds
I hope cal lands on his feet. He did a lot for UK but it was time for a change from both sides
No Scott drew please
If his one and done didn’t work at Kentucky how’s it going to work at Arkansas?!!
It’s not. Coach cal only cares about coach cal.
His one and done system doesn't work anymore and UK fans were tired of the outcome
1st, we lost Pitino. Now we're losing Calapari. When will the fans understand this is not what you really want in the end.
