They’re supposed to meet tomorrow to hash it all out. Nobody knows at this point exactly what Barnhart will put in writing, so I doubt it’ll be all that vague.
Thanks Belle.
I'm not trying to be a jackass. just questioning the specifics.

The man is under contract where I'm sure performance enhancers are specified, i.e. meet a certain W/L record get a $$ bonus, win the SEC get a $$ bonus, make the NCAA tourney more $$, advance in the tourney more $$.

I seriously doubt a coach of Cal's caliber has a contract that includes a termination clause for poor performance resulting in termination "for cause" rendering the buyout null and void. A Coach like Calipari carries all the leverage in contract negotiations with very favorable terms.

You’re fine. We’re all asking the same questions at this point. If he isn’t fired, what does that look like? What will be the benchmarks of a new contract that doesn’t frick us running if he underperforms again? Does Cal even agree to it? I believe you’re correct in that there isn’t those trigger clauses in his current contract.

It’s also worth noting if Barnhart fricks this up, his arse is also on the line. He wasn’t exactly wearing a crown of roses with Kentucky fans before this issue.
