Old news about the most hated man in Memphis.
It took Kentucky’s affirmative action hire a decade to destroy one of college basketballs most storied programs. Perhaps the one in the White House will be able to break that record...on a “national” scale!

I think in two or three years he will realize he made a huge mistake. Say he does win a championship at Kentucky. He will be no different from the 3 other coaches who each won 1. Had he won one at Memphis he would have established a lasting legacy by winning the school’s first championship and doing it with a school not from a major conference. If Kentucky is not in the Final Four by his third season the fans there will be calling for him to be fired.

Top booster, Fred Smith (FedEx) is saying that Calipari is dead to him.
We don't mind him taking another job, it was the way that he went about it.
