I hear if UK drops out of the tourney in the first two rounds Calipari will be canned (even with his buyout).

I pray if that happens we make a major run at him.

The buyout is over 20M. He isn't going anywhere.

$33M this year, drops to $27M after next season ... and he's already talking about changing things up, maybe adding an upperclassman or two in order to have a couple of guys who are a little more battle-tested to go along with their annual crop of super-freshmen.

JasonB is right. He's going nowhere.

Anyone else seen this? This would never happen, right?

Half the folx up here are glad he is gone and the other half is pissed that he left on his own.

Sounds like USC fans.

While there might be several people feeling sympathy for Lanier, I don't think there are many (if any) SMU fans upset about our coaching change. I do wonder what guarantees Lanier had on what was reportedly a year deal here and whether SMU's BMDs will be paying his salary at Rice the next couple of years?

He sure is. Got to wonder what SMU did to him to p*ss him off as I have never seen his name featured in SMU Magazine ever - thus he is likely not a big-time SMU donor.

He sent his son to Harvard and Stanford - but perhaps should have not . . .

Baylor fans panicking that Drew may be off to UK. Sweet karma if SMU firing Lanier led to Baylor losing its admittedly HOF level coach.
