Coach John Calipari is the new head coach for the Arkansas razor back. So we already recorded the full show. We went to top golf had a great time video coming out soon. Hank did great. And we're sitting there at top golf and we see the news start to trickle in me and big cat didn't see the news right away. Hand up. We apologize for that. But we were we're playing excellent at top golf. Yeah, beating at Topgolf. So we see the news and we're like, this can't be true. And then in a matter of seconds, it is true. Cal is going to Arkansas. Tyson Foods comes and saves the day for Arkansas. The chicken man. The chicken man. So I have a ton of thoughts. I mean, I don't know where we want to start. I it let's start this. I love college sports for these type of moments because we have the domino meme. SMU goes to the ACC is able to get Andy N. N field from USC. Musk goes from Arkansas to USC and then Cal goes from Kentucky to Arkansas. So SMU going to ACC started this entire thing. And now Kentucky is looking for a new coach in what 15 years? Yeah, and it's crazy. It is wild. So the first I heard of this, I was just shocked that cow was allowed to negotiate with other schools. Like they did him a favor by not firing him two weeks ago. Correct.

And they had that big meeting.

And after that meeting was over, Mitch, the AD was like, Cal's our coach, we're gonna roll with him. And then apparently in his contract, he has a clause where he's allowed to negotiate with other schools as long as he tells Kentucky about it. It's like, it's an open marriage contract. It's Will Smith and Jada Pinkett. And he, it's crazy that he did, that he basically did

that you can't fire me, I quit.

Yeah.

And so I was listening to Matt Jones at a Twitter space and he explained it that Cal and his group were somehow shocked by the hate that Kentucky had had in the last like two months for Cal and how this season ended. He said that it surprised them and they didn't see that coming. And that's where the tide carnage shifted. And then you throw in the fact that Arkansas is giving him a ton of money and basically giving him a new lease where, yeah, next year, he would have been the Kentucky head coach, but if they go out in the first round again, he's fired. So he gets a whole new contract. He gets years to build Arkansas. It's a huge win for Arkansas. And I think it's actually a huge win for Kentucky. I agree. Kentucky fans like they wanted him gone two weeks ago. Not only that, but it's a huge win for Kentucky for a couple of things. One, you don't have to pay him any money. So the part of the deal is that if Cal goes, there's no buyout for Arkansas to pay Kentucky, but there's also no money that Kentucky has to pay Cal. So you're free and clear that too. All the boosters that had turned on Cal are going to be all the way back in and ready to write big checks for whatever coach they want. And three, this is the part that like I think most Kentucky fans know, but the outside world doesn't, and they try to

roast Kentucky and be like, oh, Kentucky's cooked. Kentucky is one billion times bigger than Coach Cow. It's Kentucky basketball. Yeah. If one eight national titles, seven of them are without Coach Cow. That's what I was saying earlier. Like if you were to just list the best jobs in college basketball, Kentucky is right up there. one like Duke Jake brought up Duke and I was like I don't think so because with Duke it's like

that's coach K. Yeah it's a prestigious job right. in college basketball. Kentucky is right up there, maybe number one. Like Duke, Jake brought up Duke,

and I was like, I don't think so,

because with Duke it's like, that's Coach K. Yeah, it's a prestigious job. Right. But in terms of like the system around the coach, Kentucky's as good as it gets. So do you think that in that meeting where he didn't get fired? Any possibility that they came to an understanding like, Hey, we don't want to pay your buyout, you want to leave.

I'm going to say that I'm keeping you around as coach.

You go off, you want to leave.

I'm going to say that I'm keeping you around as coach.

You go off, you try to find a new job.

That way we're all happy. No, I think this probably surprised the fuck out of them. You think so? Yeah. I think this surprised the fuck out of them, I think because I think this wouldn't, this wouldn't have happened if, if must doesn't leave from Arkansas.
