Wyobraska Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I know it isn't easy for coaches but you have to wonder if a year or two off would be better for Calipari? Take a break, rethink his approach, and recharge. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgaucho Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 @CPslograd, how you feeling about Cal Poly's and Fresno's hire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BacksThePack Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Cal didn't like the bitching from the fans so he bounced to a similar level of recruiting type school where he can get paid just as much with half of the pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's just fewer of them. Quote It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UofMTigers Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Cal to Arkansas feels like Pastner to GTech but with a lot more money involved. UK wanted him gone...UPigg wanted to make a splash hire so mission accomplished but I still say Cal's best days are behind him. I think he will bring Arkansas some gaudy W/L record along with a couple Sweet 16/Elite Eights but falling short of a FF or Title. (EDIT: and UPigg will pay an absolute fortune for it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alum93 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Nolan Richardson won a national title at Arkansas. No reason Calipari can't do the same. And as always, the money that runs thru the SEC is absolutely insane... $8M a year to coach college basketball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyo 1 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I can’t wait to see the video of the first time Coach Cal calls the hogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebels2k3 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Apparently, Matt Jones is reporting Calipari is trying to find a way to stay. Had a feeling this was a power play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he gets paid really well for all of the shit he is going to have to put up with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's been an unwritten rule that BYU head coaches have to be temple-recommend holding members of the CoJCoLDS. That unwritten rule was publicly disclaimed when Diljeet Taylor was (deservedly) hired as BYU's head coach for the women's cross country team. Unfortunately, I think they'll stick to the unwritten rule for the two highest-profile coaches (football and men's basketball) which is severely limiting. A few names I've seen thrown around that might meet that threshold are Mark Madsen (currently head coach at Cal, former head coach at UVU) and Chris Burgess (current assistant coach at Utah, former assistant at BYU). I'm hoping they expand the search to include candidates that can respect BYU's mission while not necessarily being members of the CoJCoLDS. That's probably still a somewhat shallow talent pool, but can hopefully provide some really good options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ph90702 Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Not surprised that Barret Perry is being mentioned at BYU. Ultimately, I think it will go to someone else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
