The Goat Pen

just got an email from ON3 saying Arkansas is expected to announce Calipari as their head coach tomorrow

I have to believe the contract is going to be for at least 6 years and will be >$48m

shiiiiiit

its HAPPENING!

THANK GOD THAT SUMBITCH IS GONE.

Lol

UK fans are going to throw out some big names

Oats will be one of them but he has an $18m buyout.

Hurley will be one. He'll listen then use it to get a $1.5m a year raise from UConn.

I'd happily take Donovan even though he may be washed as a college coach

I don't want Scott Drew

We could end up with a Chris Beard if Barnhart fucks this up

LOL

Every UK fan should send Johnny Tyson a letter of appreciation…who knew buying all those chicken nuggets would pay off for Wildcat fans…

Kentucky fans are always the happiest when they get to search for a new coach.

Bruce Pearl wants the UK job (is the rumor, anyway).

Truer words have never been spoken, sardis.

Why don't you (and it seems other Kentucky fans also) want Scott Drew?

Hurley. Just give him a box at Paycor & he'll be good.

Kentucky would eat him alive

He's the honda accord of coaches.

whoever put up Tyson money , yes we are thankful

but that kid that hit 10 3 pointers from Oakland had as much to do with Cal leaving as Tyson.

He isn't going to Arkansas because he wants to. He's going because they can pay him.

I can't argue

The bigger issue here is just how badly does Calipari fuck over UK when he leaves?

trashed offices? walking away from debts? NCAA investigation?

We danced with the devil, now its time to pay the band.

Fascinating. That's who I would hire 10/10 times, assuming all the Big Blue Pipedream guys like Hurley, etc say no. I see more UK fans on X saying good things about Buzz Williams though, than Scott Drew. UK fans would hate Buzz Williams. I can only assume they want him because all they know about him is hes had some success and they really love that he has a folksy nickname and jumps and dances around in flashy three piece suits, or whatever. I can't imagine UK fans liking his personality and how he runs the program and deals with the media on a day to day, year to year basis.

If only there was a coach out there experienced with putting the pieces of a shattered program back together and then winning a national championship there. Probably doesnt exist.

man, don't even

fans were begging him to "come home" 2 days ago at Keeneland before this news broke

looks like Bama is out. That $10m+ buyout was keeping UK at bay

Can’t imagine Oats wanting to go to Kentucky unless it doubles his salary (and he’s currently top 5 in contract $$). It’s like going to Alabama football. The expectation is you win every game.

Alabama basketball will make you a hero for sweet 16’s and Elite Eights. Oats gets to another FF and he’ll have a statue.

Tyson and Jerry Jones will keep Cal awash in NIL money…and salary…
