John Calipari (official thread of impending probation)

[Jake]

At least Cal has a ring and has actually beaten his rival.

Dumb comparison.

Calipari loses with a roster of blue chip players.

Harbrau loses with a roster of primarily 3* "harbrau guys"

So basically...yeah, nothing alike, except they’re both too good for Tennessee Clay.

 

[Jaxbuck]

They are both white guys with last names that are hard to spell

They are both easy as fuck to hate

Calipari is better looking than Harbaugh' sister




That's all I've got

Cal isn’t exactly the bastion of success, but he is still multiple classes above Harbaugh as a coach.

 

[MaxBuck]

Harbaugh and Calipari both warrant scrutiny, but not by an asswipe like Clay Travis.

It's like when they compare Harbaugh to Cooper

not all underachievers are the same

Take away the Rain Man schtick/Twitter and Jimmy's probably jobless given his actual performance the last 4 years.

Strong words coming from you considering your ill feelings towards Coach Cooper.

Cal has actual won something though and has gotten his teams to a NC multiple times. Calipari is more like the Les Miles of college basketball.

I don't really have too much of a problem with Cal other than the talent he squanders. He seems like a coach who's aware of the farce of "amateurism" in a sport that makes billions and barely tries to hide it, unlike Coach K who comes off like a sanctimonious prick.

 

[DZ83CK]

Calipari is a big-time cheat, but high major NCAA athletics is a morally bankrupt business. I couldn't care less how much he wins.

 

[OHSportsFan]

Ok, NOW I want a Cal/Harbaugh comparison. TTUN get that lifetime contract printed...

 

[Steve19]

The future promises to be gloriously exciting!

The lifetime contract signing reminds me of Jim Valvano at NC State. He had a great autobiography title about his contract with NC State: "they gave me a lifetime contract, then they declared me dead" ... of course that book was published a couple of years before he died from cancer. A lifetime contract has a way of being only so long as the NCAA allows it to be.

Haven't really been paying attention, but just saw after today's loss to Louisville, UK is 1-6.

Hate to see it.
