As a Kentucky fan here thank you for the fond memories you brought to the University. I wish you well at Arkansas i will always support you. I am always a wildcat fan but still and forever a Cal guy!
I think Coach Cal going to Arkansas was a much needed move. He himself, UK fans, administration, boosters, local media all need a big reset. With each program moving in different directions, I hope he has success there. Cal is a great person and the memories he gave to Uk fans his first 10 yrs were the best. But the last 5 yrs have been awful and he needed to go. So good luck at Arkansas except when they play UK.
"YOU NEVER EVER EVER BLAME THE PLAYERS, THE COACH TAKES THE BLAME, YOU NEVER THROW A PLAYER UNDER THE BUS" How many times has Cal thrown a UK player under the bus??? Many times... i can't believe he had the nerve to say that garbage
What an awesome time to be a Razorback. Grand slam hire with the basketball Coach...Baseball team ranked #1 in the country...Football team on the rise...hopefully. Thx for being a Hog Coach Cal and awesome job Hunter for making it happen...WPS!!!🐗🐗🐗
Exactly like the Kentucky fans that now are looking so sad at the new basketball coach they have to live with that will never be as good as the new Arkansas Basketball coach is.😂
I would have never in my life thought I would listen to a John Calipari press conference and be moved in a positive way. I hate to admit how much Calipari has drawn me in with this. He seems to understand the assignment and comes across as quite motivated. Very ready for what he will bring to the table.
He's a used car salesman. He's fantastic to listen to and very persuasive. Kentucky fans know it all too well. He'll keep his same formula, you'll have a lot of fun watching a talented young team but end up disappointed in the end. The college game of recent does not favor the Calipari formula. He's no doubt a hall of famer and maybe he will have success in Arkansas but from what he has shown in the last 5 years is that he no longer is ahead of the college curve.
He's an incredile communicator. I wish as a UK fan his weaknesses werent so glaring in a few areas. Sycophant coaching staffs, hard headed. Roster building for winning as apposed to collecting talent. But I see some relief and excitement in his posture and think he'll do great at Arkansas if he stays healthy and motivated.
HY got some balls, taking the heat over this last week and keeping his nose to the grindstone. Thank you Hunter, we appreciate your work. Now its up to Cal. Where do we go from here?
Did you see the smurk cal did when they ask how confident you can but team together. Man cal got something cooking you see his players enter the portal, and decommitted. Arkansas about to run the tables
Hey everyone, I am a Kentucky guy and I congratulate you on hiring a new coach, but you had better learn to take 98% of what this man says with a grain of salt. I actually laughed out loud and yelled, "Are you serious?!?!?!?" when I listened to him say that a coach takes responsibility and never throws his players under the bus. When we lost to Oakland in the first round of this year's tournament that is exactly what he did. He never took one ounce of responsibility for that loss. He blamed the freshmen that HE recruited and brought into the program. Here is a direct quote from following the game: "“We made some critical mistakes at critical times again today. I mean we had our chances. As good as they (Oakland) played and as many shots as they made, we still had our chances. And both on defense and offense. And when you have a really young team and you look at where did the mistakes come from, they were freshmen.” He has yet to say that HE could have done anything differently. After losing in the first game of the SEC tournament instead of getting our guys in a gym to get ready for the NCAA tourney, he took them BOWLING! He refused to play a zone defense, even saying once, "I can't coach a zone". He was here for 15 seasons and played the same offense and defense for the entire time as the game of basketball was continually changing which has led to U.K. having the worst 4 years in their history his last four seasons as coach. In 2019 we were 9-16 and 8-9 in the SEC! He also said this....."Everyone thought the goal was to win championships, that is not my goal, my goal is to get my players drafted". Now, he had some good years here, there's no denying that, but after he signed a lifetime contract in 2019 it's been downhill ever since. I know you're excited, and I hope things change with him, but the majority of U.K. fans were jumping with joy when he left. Arkansas is a great program and I always enjoy watching them play, but don't expect any miracles because there won't be any. I sincerely wish you good luck, honestly I do! But, there are many of us very glad to see Calipari wearing red. Can't wait to play you guys, I hope it is a hard fought battle, but of course I hope the Cats win!! 😎
Loved what i heard at the presser. The guy clearly oozes charisma. But at the same time it's difficult to argue with any of your mostly well written and well reasoned post based on its merit. Although I will say you completely butchered his quote about Re: Goals of winning championships vs draft pick. What he actually said was his "top goal was getting 8 drafted, not winning a title". It's not as if someone is limited to having only one goal so this was overblown to begin with at least IMO. And i swear this isn't revisionist history but I even recall thinking at the time that it was a brilliant 4D chess move on his part. Are the fans going to want to hear that? No. But you know who will? Literally every current and future recruiting target. Anyhow I'm excited to see how this all unfolds. Certainly should add some extra intrigue to the already exciting UK v UA annual matchup. Go Hogs!
@@JFred2 First off, here is the entire quote, but there's more: ""Last year we started the season with a goal. You may think that goal was to win the national title and win all the games. It was to get eight players drafted ... "The mission statement for me would be to be a vehicle to help others reach their dreams, to be the stone that creates the ripple in their lives that goes on and on and on. Now, in our state, they want my mission to be WIN NATIONAL TITLES! WIN NATIONAL TITLES! But my mission is bigger than that." Now, that isn't how we view things in Kentucky. He was paid $8.5 mil per year to win championships. If he happens to have players who get into the NBA that's all well and good, but he wasn't hired to be an NBA recruiter, he was hired to win basketball games. When he was hired he did a press conference very similar to the one he just did in Arkansas and he said the total opposite. He said his goal was to add banners to the Rupp Arena wall. Not a word was said about getting his players drafted. That's what I meant, you can never know what the man will say next except he will say what he thinks people want to hear. Give this a listen. ruclips.net/video/Zw1utfzLijY/видео.html
@@wrightwrjr I hate the RUclips couch fans and the dumb entitled thinking of the school they cheer for is supposed to get championships. 11 is the number of the most in NCAA 8 comes next. In a win or lose tournament anyone can win. How about go by wins and losses. Too bad now Kentucky has a nobody from BYU that will drag UK to the bottom of the SEC
Social media is great for the fans? But you don't care about response? That's exactly why fans at Kentucky went sour on you Cal but you'll do great at Arkansas.
When I was at UA as a freshman in 1973, Barnhill Fieldhouse was nothing more than a huge tin box. The Bud Walton gives millions to UA for a new court. Now they say they need a new fieldhouse? Ok, go for it if it's needed. They're gonna give it to you, Mr. Calipari. Now win for us Razorbacks!!
Gosh lot of sour grapes. No appreciation for the accolades he has brought on your program in the past no simple Than You Arkansas saves you 30 million not hard to see why he took a cut in pay Took an old horse that was locked in the barn for a long time He sure was happy out in the new pasture He deserves a chance to adjust. You guys need to study the word humility
Cal "You never throw a player under the bus" Every loss this year was the player's fault in Cal post-game press conferences. Did he single them out, no. It was always passive-aggressive but you'll see!
@@TaylorDatruth UK didn't get shafted. They've wanted him gone for multiple years but didn't wanna pay him $30+ Million. He gave UK the out without having to pay him shit, if anything Cal shafted himself. Not to mention he left for a program that isn't even close to Kentucky's prestige. Arkansas will never be on Kentucky's level even if Cal brings National Championships.
@@sliimeY2K baahhhhhahaa thats funny. Good joke. Keep living in the past. While ur there remember that L u took to Nolan Richardson. Past 4 years Arkansas has been to the elite 8 or sweet 16. Ur shit program can't do that because it trying to live off past glory. We being arkansas is the new Kentucky. Nobody cares about KY jelly University or their queered out fans. Ur irrelevant now
@@sliimeY2K For this being such a non-issue for you UK fans, y'all sure are swarming the Hog forums over this hire. And just in case you're confused, you know YOU have nothing to do with UK's basketball legacy, right? You just happen to be a UK fan, so lets cut out the cringe bravado.
Coaching wise, he's not.....and he's right. It's not close. Tubby was a better coach, just couldn't recruit. As an X's and O's guy--Pitino, Rupp and Tubby have a huge edge. Yes, he can recruit--That's about it.
I guess you and I both will found out what they are going to do,. But Cal has said he isn't changing anything. Looks like you are about to get what we have had for the last 11 years.. good luck.
BBN coping and seething in the comments. I'm pretty sure both BBN and Calipari were ready for a divorce. Both sides won here, unless UK fumbles the new hire lol. Have to get a new recruiting class too looks like.
Also, Cal has had nothing but nice things to say about Kentucky and the fans. Every time someone has asked him over the last few days. So you UK fans could show some of the same class and just wish him well. *shrugs*
Exactly!!! Imagine being a Kentucky basketball coach and you finally get your chance to step up to being an Arkansas Razorback coach 👊 Kinda like going from Fuba to Nike 😂 Definitely with out doubt a much better job and environment to be a basketball coach in✌️👽
@@donaldallen1276 You done lost your mind. We have more people at our press conference than yall have at 3 games combined unless yall play Kentucky. There was 6 minute walk of people standing in line who didn’t get to come in to our press conference today 😂 that’s what a fast walking pace half mile line. We will see yall around January.
From a UK fan to a razor back fan, I hate to say it and I’m not being a hater or whatever but if Cal doesn’t change yall are in for a lot of let downs,one and dones don’t win championships anymore and he’s stuck recruiting one and dones,I mean he’s had some of the top recruits year after year and can’t do anything with em,but you guys are in better shape with him than you were but I’m telling ya,you’re gonna get your feelings hurt,and nothing but love for coach Cal And damn,yall acting like children 😂😂
Cal is a bust. Loaded teams year after year that have "underperformed & been failures" those are Cals words not mine. He's gonna do the same thing and go after the same type of players at Arkansas that he did at Kentucky. Maybe Arkansas fans will get lucky and Cal will actually have some successful teams but i wouldn't hold my breathe. Except to have a new team every year that gets knocked out in 1st or 2nd round of ncaa tournaments
Cal will always be remembered as a Great Kentucky coach, no matter where he goes and what he does. But let’s not forget that he has the three worst losses in Kentucky basketball history, the worst season in Kentucky basketball history in 2021, and the only coach to ever lose three home games back to back. He can beat a top 25 ranked team This week and lose to a mid major by 15 at home the next week. His antics and sarcasm grows old quickly
It's hilarious seeing kentucky fans trash talk how bad a coach Calipari is when he is the winningest active coach in men's college basketball, with a career record of 855-263. In the hall of fame #2 winningest coach in Kentucky history. Had kentucky recruiting at #2 only behind Duke.. Come on y'all.
There's a standard at UK that Arkansas fans will never understand. The only positive about Calipari is that he is the best recruiter in the business. That's it! He is not a coach, Rupp, Hall, Pitino, and Smith are way ahead of Cal in coaching ability!
I understand what you are saying, If I was an Arkansas fan I would love this move, but there is no denying that 1 national championship in 16 years at KY is very underwhelming. I am from Memphis and when Cal coached the Memphis Tigers the fan base absolutely loved him, no doubt we were heartbroken when he left for KY, I thought he would retire at KY with 3 or 4 national championships in 20 + years He is a great recruiter, he takes a lot of pride in getting guys to the NBA, but he has come up short with winning championships, thats why he is very popular with former players but not very popular with universities he has worked for or the fans of those universities. He is in the Basketball HOF so my opinion doesn’t mean much but just my personal opinion, he is a very good coach but he needs to win 1 more with Arkansas if he wants to be considered great.
@@jayhawgs9036 Coach ego couldn't handle the heat being turned up when he wasn't producing. He was told he could stay another year... he quit, that's on him. He was highly compensated... so there's no pity for the quiter.
Everybody knows they went after Beard first. Maybe they didn't know Cal was interested or the would've approached him first. You don't actually 'offer' the job unless someone will accept but they definitely talked to Beard first

Old Cal got out of UKy while the getting was good.
Fans ran him out.
@@jayhawgs9036 it was time his seat was getting hot
To be fair UK is a sinking ship, we all would’ve abandoned it too
@@jayhawgs9036 Coach ego couldn't handle the heat being turned up when he wasn't producing. He was told he could stay another year... he quit, that's on him. He was highly compensated... so there's no pity for the quiter.
Everybody knows they went after Beard first. Maybe they didn't know Cal was interested or the would've approached him first. You don't actually 'offer' the job unless someone will accept but they definitely talked to Beard first
One of the most overrated coaches in college basketball history
Overrated... But he has a natty.... Your obviously clueless about what worthless means.
Cope harder goof
He left one of the most overrated jobs in college basketball.....its a win win for both.....WPS🐗
@@jayhawgs9036 No coach has ever had more talent and done less with it.
