John Calipari challenges his haters after signing lifetime deal at Kentucky: 'Why are you mad?'
Kentucky did what it had to in order to keep John Calipari in Lexington this offseason by offering the Wildcat coach a “lifetime” deal that includes the perks of an administrative job once his coaching career comes to an end.
The unprecedented contract given to Calipari hasn’t been without some detractors, however, and during a recent appearance on ESPN’s “Get Up” show, the Kentucky coach called out those hating on his good fortune.
“There are people that, I don’t know if it’s their opinion or their hope, but they get mad and it’s like, ‘Why are you mad? What’s this make you mad about?'” Calipari said. “Our fans are happy, our administration is happy, I’m happy. I guess that’s all it’s about.”

I have a few questionsfor you Cal.
1. Why don’t we have home and home games pre-conference with schools from other major conferences? Other cosches at UK that have won national championships did.
2. Why don’t we play in the pre-season tournaments in Hawaii and other locations? Is the money grabbing games in the Bahamas, with the three officals from Cynthiana calling the games suppose to add to your tesume?
3. Why do you tolerate the word ‘KENTUCKY’ on the front of the jerseys when the players are told to play for the names on the back?
4. When was the last time you mentioning any attempt to over take UCLA as the team who can claim to have the most NCAA BASKETBALL CHAMPUONSHIPS?
Start with those questions.
I have several more.
Sounds like a hater hating lol.
You have stated many times you are a Louisville fan so you should be glad the home and away series with Louisville is in place
I have a question. Why you mad bro? What make u mad bout this? Admin is happy, Coach is happy, Coach wallet is happy, Coach wife was happy while I had her in bed. Are not all Coach fans happy? Doesn’t missing out on SECCG for first time in 6 years make you happy bro?
