Whether he takes another job or retires, there will come a day when John Calipari is no longer the head coach at Kentucky and on that day, I'm willing to bet it will be then and only then that a certain segment of the fanbase will realize how good they had it.

– Only $5M for western Kentucky (2021)

Everybody is piling on John Calipari right now but the fact that he *still* has the most NCAA Tournament wins of any coach since 2010 despite missing the tournament twice and not winning a game since 2019 really speaks to how absurd the first half of his Kentucky run really was.

There was a distinct segment of Kentucky fans that couldn't forgive John Calipari for *only* winning one national title.

If you get rid of John Calipari, you lose your No. 2 recruiting class and virtually every player on the roster. But if you hire the right coach who can attract NIL dollars, it's never been easier to rebuild an entire roster in one offseason.

When this all started, Kentucky fans wanted to flex by buying the 2-time defending national champions' coach. When it was over, they flexed by filling up Rupp Arena to welcome home one of their own.

The bottom line is this: If John Calipari wins a title in 2010, 2011, or 2014, he has so much more rope with Kentucky fans. If he goes 40-0 in 2015, he’s a god. Some fans will never forgive him for leaving at least one title on the table until he wins another one.

It's one thing when you say you don't care about the SEC Tournament and you go win it anyway. It's another when you say you don't care about the SEC Tournament and you've lost 5 of your last 6 games in an event a large number of Kentucky fans plan their vacation around.

When Davion Mintz declared for the draft on May 3, Kentucky needed him back just to have one capable point guard on its roster. By the time he announced his return Thursday, it now gives UK one of the best backcourts in all of college basketball. That's a heck of an offseason.

So, John Calipari raised $30 million in private funds for a new practice facility and Mitch Barnhart blocked it. Barnhart doesn't talk to Cal. He doesn't talk to the fans. By all accounts, he's been slow to move on NIL and stubborn to cater to the average fan.
