It is a win win

Kentucky wins and Arkansas wins if Cal leaves for Arkansas

This is a 100% best for both parties. Kentucky wants him gone but he’s still a top coach/brand in the game. He can immediately rebuild the roster. Kentucky can go get beard or oats or whoever they want.

How would y'all grade the hire if it's Cal? Assuming salary in the 5 - 5.5 mil range


A- for me

I’d go with a solid A

Everything considered…solid A hire

Apparently Kentucky boards are saying it’s a done deal

Hard to give lower than A- when you hire a coach that's won a natty.

I know the shine's worn off but this is better than anyone could have expected once hiring Beard fell apart.

I could see a B+ for where he is now and going forward.

Doesn’t Cal have friends with deep pockets in Arkansas? I think he knows his way around.

there was no way I would possibly believe this last night. It was mentioned on discord, trilly, and a phone call from a friend in the know.

No Way In......

Really?


nahhh! Not buying it, but sure hope it is true. Nahh!

We'll find out how much was Cal and how much was Kentucky soon.

I'm skeptical but I'll support the hire.

Kentucky couldn't afford to fire him even if the wanted.

They've ran off every coach since Adolph retired for not winning a NC every other year.

As sleezy as he seems, he must be clean or they would have found it to fire him and avoid the buyout.

Can’t imagine Cal would come without a massive NIL pool promised to him.

Hunts and now Tyson’s involved. I think the money will be fine.
