It’s probably been said before, but Kentucky has never hired a coach who previously won a national championship.

Mad Dog and Stephen A just had their top five college basketball destinations for coaches.  
 

Lexington wasn’t on either one of them. 

They have obviously been to Lexington. ?

I could see this happening, but I'm not sure how much different from Cal that really is?

I have had a 48 hour constant headache refreshing Twitter/X to see if anything new has happened.

Addicted!!!  

Go Big Blue!!!!!!

Mad Dog’s reasoning.  
 

No coach wants to come home to his 8 year-old kid crying because his classmates told him that his dad sucks because he lost to LSU. 

I did not have Scott Drew trolling BBN on my bingo card...

Sounds like this will either be over, or really ramp up in the next 24 hours.

For those that subscribe to The Athletic. There is a really good article on there now about Calipari and more of what happened over the weekend to why he left. 
 

The biggest thing I took from the article is him privately admitting he regretted not taking the UCLA job after the 2019 season. Saying that was the time to leave the program. Which makes sense, because that would have been 10 years, and he even admitted when he first got the job that the max life span for a UK coach is 10 years. If he left after that 2019 season, many people would have been upset with him like they were with Pitino. However, at the same time the love affair with him would have been the same as with Pitino in regards to people not getting over the Pitino years. He would have left while still loved, and not giving fans a chance to turn.

Someone saw this and tracked him down.

I'm not sure I believe that, but that's a good way to scare him off. LOL

Cal couldn’t have done any better at UCLA the last five seasons as he produced here! Would love to have Pitino back right now and many others feel the same.

Drew is probably using this for more money.  I don't know if I would come to UK and I am a fan.  Fans have made it very unattractive, in my opinion.

I cannot stand the guy. But if Cal like snake oil salesman is your cup of tea, bottoms up.
