Uh, No Shit Dude. It Was Your Fault - John Calipari Says The Way His Career Ended At Kentucky Was 'Hard' And 'Sucked'

We got our first look at how reenergized John Calipari is at Arkansas piece. The whole fact he's living like a bum with his son and using earplugs to sleep, whatever. That's irrelevant to me. The relevant part to me is how he sums up his ending at Kentucky. Saying it was hard and how it sucked. No shit, dude! How do you think it was for someone who battled every single person for you? How do you think it was for people who care more about the program and school than you? That was hard and sucked. 

Here's the thing. It was all John Calipari's fault! Look how easy it is to say that. John Calipari was the one who decided to not play his best lineup as much as possible. John Calipari was the one who refused to adapt to what teams were doing and lost to a 15 seed and 14 seed. No shit it sucked dude, you refused to see what everyone else in the world did and was too stubborn to say yeah, I fucked up there. Let me go ahead and play Reed, Rob and Reeves 3 minutes together in a game that I need to win. 

Not to mention all the stuff off the court. The fact he tried to become bigger than the University of Kentucky. The fact he created a divide in the fanbase that turned into a Civil War. He did the whole cocky attitude and it's my way, no one knows it like me, all that other shit. Yeah that's why it sucked! You could have had the entire fanbase behind you with a few simple actions. Instead Calipari turned it into this: 

Everyone knows guys are going to play for coaches. We're not dumb here, but to call it the University of Calipari is fucking insane. I promise you no one feels bad for Calipari trying to come off as a martyr for how hard it was to coach last year. This was all on him.
