Yes, sir.....And here is how this years/decade version will pan out.......
He's very good in the community as well as getting the players involved there. At UK its what have you done for me lately...
I mean at one point does one have enough $$$? His estimated net worth is $50 million.
If someone wants to pay you a million a year for the rest of your life for doing nothing are you gonna say no thanks? He could always go somewhere else and coach for a couple more years and make up for that amount, but I'd rather get paid to do nothing.
He's also under contract at UK through 2028-29 if he chooses to coach that long and getting paid almost $9 million a year. Texas ain't gonna match that. And he'll be 64 next month. He'd much rather get fired.
What an incredibly stupid fukin contract...He's also under contract at UK through 2028-29 if he chooses to coach that long and getting paid almost $9 million a year. Texas ain't gonna match that. And he'll be 64 next month. He'd much rather get fired.
If Calipari leaves, say for a head coaching job and a new wardrobe of burnt orange, he can do so without paying any sort of penalty. His buyout is precisely $0. But if Kentucky wants to fire him without cause, the school is going to owe him 75% of what remains in base and supplemental pay. Here’s how that breaks down by year:
- If Calipari is fired after 2022-23: $39,750,000 (plus 75% of his remaining pay from the date he is fired to June 29, 2023)
- 2023-24: $33,375,000
- 2024-25: $27,000,000
- 2025-26: $20,250,000
- 2026-27: $13,500,000
- 2027-28: $6,750,000
John Calipari Contract & Buyout Breakdown at Kentucky - Boardroom
As rumors swirl about Coach Cal and Texas, Boardroom takes a look at what exactly is in the John Calipari contract at Kentucky.boardroom.tv
Exactly. And he'd be incredibly stupid to voluntarily opt out of it, but we can still hope.
True, but........................When you are no longer liked/wanted at KENTUCKY, life can be hard. Its stressful enough when they like you.
I have long suspected he'll step down after next season (first year he's eligible to retire and collect his $1 million a year.) Hopefully he's smart enough to see that the game passed him by quite a few years ago. He'll come back next year with his highly touted class and give it one last shot but fall way short again. Then he'll realize he's washed up.
You are not a high level coach though. It is not about the money. They derive their self worth from their work. Why does multi millionaire 70 yr old Saban still work? Because that is what his life is about.
I think you're wrong. That 70yr old couldn't spend half his money if that was his new job.
I can guarantee you neighbor, that won't happen with the majority of fans at this point. I never liked the guy from the git go. His tone while talking down to the fans. His disregard for UK winning while pumping draft night, and his general BS on EVERY subject has always irked me. I didn't like him the night we won the 2012 title. He kept saying "this is all about the kids, not me" that was all BS, this guy is all about Cal. He could win the title this year and next year and I'd want him gone ASAP. But let be real, he aint winning jack anymore.
Why is Alabama paying him $12 million a year then if he'd do it for free? I'm sure he'd also like to provide as much as possible for his family generations after him, as most would if they could.
This is pretty easy to explain really.
I didn't say that. Ego would not permit him to take less than other coaches. However, there is a difference between ego and the desire for money.
Saban has nothing else left to prove. I doubt self worth is what drives him. A lot of people love their jobs and put everything into them, that doesn't necessarily mean they'd take a pay cut to do it.
Sooooooo...you didn't like Cal in...
As UK fans go you are a peach. However, y'all all share a stubbornness gene. You dodged the Buffett because you just don't want to admit you're wrong.
I don't know Warren Buffet personally and haven't asked him why he hasn't cashed out all his investments and just spent every dime until he dies, so I could not tell you his motives. I assume he just likes to make money but you said it's not about the money so it's weird that you referenced someone whose literal occupation and passion is to make money. 🤣
We gives away his money. You have papers and the internet, so you personally knowing him is irrelevant. It is about the work, the money is just a by product.
The work is literally to make money. That is the purpose of what he does.
It was, but it is not now. Do you think Trump ran for Pres. cause he’d get $400k for life?
