Slice was also offered an assistant position by Cal several years ago…he turned it down and Kenny Payne got the job.

Slice said today that the reason he decided to take the job was he wants to help his buddy Calipari get into the Hall of Fame.

Probably helps that Pitt has fallen off a bit as well.

And Barbee was an assistant with Cal, as we all know, and arguably one of the best recruiters he ever worked with.

I never said Slice wouldn't have gotten a spot or wasn't in Cal's wheelhouse, but you acting like it's a stretch that people considered Barbee for a spot on Cal's staff when he was fired from Auburn because there was a good chance UK would be looking at two openings instead of one is hilarious.
