Sounds like many may get their wish. Watch this class follow him to Arkansas and turn around and win it all next year.

Wife's Mad. Told me we never talk anymore. And just last nite while watching super bowl told her 2 or 3 times to get me a coke and popcorn. Also told her not to forget to take out trash in the morning. Ain't that something. Also told me I was too indecisive. Can't figure out what to do about that. One nice thing I guess. She called me a pro crastinator. Don't know what a crastinator is but I guess I'm a good one for her to call me a pro. Gonna wait til tomorrow to look that up though. I love her but somrtimes can't help but thinking I should have told uncle Junior to keep his coon hound pup and stevens double barrel and also his youngest daughter.

I will say something that is going to be unpopular………UK’s first call should go to Pitino if the goal is wins before all else.

Part of me hopes he stays and changes some things, but part of me realizes that that Cal just isn't going to change. He is what he is.
I do find this shocking, given the green light from Barnhart. To me, it speaks ill of him that he is, after all, just after mo' money. As if he doesn't have enough already. One the positive side, maybe he is seeking to rebuild yet another program fallen on hard times. But maybe he is just sensing the shift in the fans' attitudes towards him, and realizes it is better to leave on his own terms than be ridden out of town on a rail.
Now, it is late in the game for this crap to hit the fan. Who will we find to replace him? ALL of cal's staff will go with him, and as Trey said, probably the majority, if not all of his players and recruits. It will be a tough few years recovering from that much change.
We live in interesting times.

Just my opinion, I would think it is a done deal since the University has to be informed. It would be a terrible look for a program like UK to grovel to get a coach back and Cal would not have entered negotiations unless he already had two feet out the door.
All I can say is boycott Tyson Foods and eat more Miller Poultry Chicken (that is the company I work for…..LOL)

Not unpopular with me at all. The only thing that hurts him is that he's 71 years old. He probably won't coach too much longer.

PC,
Agree but he is going to coach until he dies on the sideline. LOL.
His family morals may not be the best, but in my opinion he is the best basketball coach of the last 40 years. Coach K and Jim Calhoun could be argued for that position as well as much as I hate to say that.

I don't blame Pitino for leaving UK as much as I do him returning to Louisville. He is still a good coach and always had Cal's # when he was at U&K and Cal was at UMass.

Calhoun and Boeheim were 2 of the biggest all time cheats in college basketball. I'll add Wooden to that list if we go back that far. I do not recognize any of the accomplishments of either of these coaches. I think Coach K and Coach Knight did it the right way. Aside from those who got caught and were punished (rather their programs) I feel all other coaches fall someplace in between.
All that said, I'd take Pitino back in a heartbeat.
