March 7, 201214 yr They aren't paying him Phil Jackson money. Why would they pay Cal over 4 Mil when he failed miserably in the NBA already? Just out of curiosity, what did Pete Carroll make during his 1st stint in the NFL & what is he making currently? Apples & oranges, but it's the closest modern-era comparison I can think of.
March 7, 201214 yr Clearly he was talking about Coaching at the air port. Not once did he ever say I want to be Coaching here at Memphis. Geeze RP talk about grasping for something that just isn't there.....
March 7, 201214 yr Author Just out of curiosity, what did Pete Carroll make during his 1st stint in the NFL & what is he making currently? Apples & oranges, but it's the closest modern-era comparison I can think of. I'm talking about the $4 Mil UK is currently paying him. Point was I don't see NBA teams making him a crazy offer he couldn't turn down like $10 Mil a year. He didn't work out in the NBA once I doubt people are going to be knocking down the door throwing crazy offers at him. My point is I don't think money will be much of a factor unless someone goes insane and offers him Phil Jackson like numbers.

March 7, 201214 yr He's not going anywhere until he wins a championship at Kentucky, and I strongly believe that.

March 7, 201214 yr How sick is this....Coach Cal is 94-13 at UK....That's an .879 winning percentage.....They make the Elite Eight this year and he'll have won 100 games in his first three seasons at UK. Impressive stuff.

March 7, 201214 yr Author The $31.65 million deal making John Calipari the highest-paid coach in college basketball is packed with perks beyond his annual salary, including membership to the country club of his choice, two cars and incentives for reaching the NCAA Sweet Sixteen and Final Four and winning a national title. Calipari agreed to leave Memphis and Tuesday night signed the eight-year contract to join the nation's all-time winningest basketball program. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=4034862 Including $3 million in retention bonuses he'll get for staying with Kentucky through March 31, 2016, Calipari is in line to receive an average of $4 million a year over the eight years. The deal also gives Calipari: • Two "late model, quality automobiles," plus mileage. • Membership in a country club of his choice, including monthly dues and initiation fees. • 20 prime "lower-level" season tickets to UK home games. • Eight tickets for each UK home football game. • Hundreds of thousands of dollars in incentives for reaching certain milestones, such as a 75 percent graduation rate or better ($50,000), winning the Southeastern Conference ($50,000), winning the SEC tournament ($50,000), making the NCAA tournament round of 16 ($100,000), making the Final Four ($175,000), or winning the national title ($375,000). • The right to income from conducting basketball camps using UK facilities.
March 7, 201214 yr No chance in hell the University of Kentucky is paying him 4 mil a year. Before Hammer posted that info it was just reported in the last day or so that Cal is the highest paid coach in college basketball at 4 million/season.
March 7, 201214 yr They aren't paying him Phil Jackson money. Why would they pay Cal over 4 Mil when he failed miserably in the NBA already? That's what I was thinking. I'm having a hard time believing he could pull in significantly more than what he is pulling in at UK.We're all talking about these Nets, right? I'd say knee-jerk reactions are kinda their thing. Especially when your owner is a crazy Russian billionaire.
March 7, 201214 yr No chance in hell the University of Kentucky is paying him 4 mil a year. Once again, uninformed. Keep hatin' Bench.
