I personally think Cal is washed. Do we need to be on probation more? Haha.
That's just me though. Cal is a proven coach and a worse cheater than Wade. <-- see what I did there?
My son said sure take him understanding he will leave and you will be sanctioned.

Sat near 4 Kentucky fans in our game against them. To say he is not popular with them is a great understatement.

Wow, where to start. First, I know the recent history of the LSU BB program, but no way would Calipari recruit as well at LSU as he is at Kentucky. Second, someone acted like he would win a NC at LSU. Seriously? He can't win one at Kentucky...1 in 14 years. I'm one who think McMahon will be a failure at LSU. But if anyone thinks Calipari would be the one to take over the LSU program doesn't realize he isn't even a top 10 coach.

Cal’s best asset at this point is the money Kentucky pays in NIL. I doubt LSU would take the money from football or baseball to pay basketball players.

Yes, even though I don’t like him. He usually wins and always makes the tournament.

I think you’re right. Word is though that the AD and boosters are meeting now to determine if it’s possible to poach a current SEC coach who had previous success in the state of Kentucky. It won’t be easy to get him, but there’s a chance!!

No thanks

He’s a good coach no doubt but I think he’s kinda washed. Complacent maybe? He had lots of success earlier in his career and earlier at Kentucky, but recently he’s kinda faltered.
It’s Kentucky- their brand is going to attract the best players. But I always felt like this year especially Kentucky was not a good team, just a group of stellar players. I mean shite dude, coach mcmahon out coached him earlier this year…. yikes
That being said yes I would take him over McMahon in a heartbeat and you’d be dumb not to

Calipari is the Paul Mainieri of college basketball.

That is a pretty solid assement. In hindsight, I feel he has relied too much on the uber-talented one and done freshman. If he could be convinced to bring in half of those kids and while developing (assuming he can/still wants too) 3-4 year type players, he would probably have a lot more sucess in the tourney,
Regardless, he would have the PMAC packed and in the tourney every year. And at his age, he would be good fit for the ~3 year runup to get into the new arena.

frick no. He’s just like Les Miles and Paul Mainieri. He’s at the end of the road and hasn’t won anything important in a long time. I’m surprised he’s still in Lexington tbh. This seems to be every year for Kentucky now lol.

He hasn't done anything in the NIL era. Kentucky doesn't have the deep pockets of alot of schools and they are investing in football. I don't know if he will continually get the players he once did as everyone pays now. It does seem in basketball, NIL and transfers may change it for the better.

Would you take John Calipari?
Absolutely! LSU basketball expectations aren't the same as Kentucky.
It's equates similarly to Kentucky football fans being ecstatic if they had hired a prominent coach from an SEC powerhouse. The powerhouse football program might be tired of a coach that was consistently winning 10 games a year, but falling short of a playoff for several years after previously winning a championship.

Yes it absolutely does and I knew I should have copyrighted that comment when I made it weeks ago.
I even made a more detailed analogy Matt McMahon + Ja Morant = Curley Hallman + Brett Favre = coaches who made their reputations in mid level conferences with players that nobody else even wanted

quote:based on what? He recruited well at umass and Memphis and got them to final 4’s & brought in multiple top 10 recruiting classes. If Wade, Jones, & Brady could get talent to Br and the best recruiter in college basketball can’t? That just a clown take.
but no way would Calipari recruit as well at LSU as he is at Kentucky.
quote:nobody is saying this the majority of fans would just like a coach who can consistently get to the tournament every year and make a run every 3-4 years.
Second, someone acted like he would win a NC at LSU.
quote:lol you’re not getting a top 20 coach to come coach at LSU ever with the resources the basketball team has, this isn’t the football or baseball program. Y’all view Dale Brown as the best thing ever for LSU basketball and how great that era was and Cal is Dale on steroids but he at least has a title and double the final fours.
But if anyone thinks Calipari would be the one to take over the LSU program doesn't realize he isn't even a top 10 coach.
