John Calipari has been to four Final Fours in his seven complete seasons as Kentucky Basketball’s Head Coach.

Winning at Kentucky is no option. There isn’t any way that a team who loses games, and especially loses games in chunks can avoid the fan backlash. It’s inevitable that fans are going to fling out the “Fire Calipari” slogans after just 5 losses. Im not 100 percent on this, but one could assume that there hasn’t been anyone trying to fire Duke Head Coach Mike Krzyzewski. That’s even after the Grayson Allen debacle as well as their string of bad losses.

You don’t get rid of a coach like John Calipari. Whether or not you like the One-and-Done situation, its happening all over college basketball. Calipari just so happens to be the poster boy. This team may be John’s biggest challenge yet. With so many recruits and the talent level, this team has definitely under performed. In order for these Cats to turn this thing around, they must trust in the process. Coach Cal knows how to win with youth and this season shouldn’t be any different.
