Who will replace Calipari at Kentucky?
Mark Pope has been named the next head coach of the Kentucky Wildcats. Since John Calipari signed a lifetime deal with Kentucky in 2019, it seems unlikely that he would leave the school until he makes the decision to retire. After a losing season in 2021, an ouster in the first round at the hands of Saint Peter’s last month, and zero Final Fours since 2015, Big Blue Nation is beginning to become restless with its head man.
- Additionally, Calipari is 63 years old as well.
- There are no actual restrictions on who Kentucky may recruit in the event that John Calipari decides to leave Kentucky in the future, regardless of whether that time comes sooner or later.
- It is without a doubt the most renowned program in the sport, and it possesses boundless resources in addition to a devoted following.
They have also not demonstrated a need to “remain in the family,” as Duke, North Carolina, and Villanova did during their transitions to new coaches and administrators. On the other hand, there isn’t a clear front-runner contender as there was in 2009 when John Calipari was running for the job.
- The majority of the sport’s most promising young coaches, including Chris Beard, Eric Musselman, and Nate Oats, are currently employed by high-profile institutions that are ready to spend whatever it takes to keep them on staff.
- Additionally, it seems as though all three are content with where they are at the moment.
Mark Pope is as good of a bet as any other in this respect since the coaching environment of the sport is expected to undergo significant upheaval over the next several years, and it is likely that we will see someone emerge during this time. In his only three seasons as head coach of BYU, Pope has led the Cougars to three consecutive 20-win seasons, as well as an appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 2021 (the Cougars would have easily made it, and been a threat, in the 2020 tournament as well).
- Pope played college basketball for the University of Kentucky.
- He is now directing the team through its transition into the Big 12 conference, which will take place following the current season, during which he will be frequently challenged against the best competition.
- There is a possibility that the transfer, in conjunction with his Mormon beliefs, will make it more attractive for him to remain in Provo.
However, we are in Kentucky. Pope will at the very least be in the running if he maintains his status as one of the game’s most promising young coaches.
Who will replace Jai Lucas?
Turner has taken over for Jai Lucas, who departed the University of Kentucky on April 29 to join first-year head coach Jon Scheyer’s staff at Duke. Along with assistant coaches Orlando Antigua and Chin Coleman, the addition of Turner will enable the Wildcats to continue to have one of the best staffs in the country from top to bottom.
