John Calipari contacted by Texas, per report

Is John Calipari a practical candidate for the Texas Longhorns?

In keeping with 247 Sports activities reporter Travis Branham (by way of KSR), Texas has made contact with Calipari following final week’s firing of Chris Beard. Branham additionally believes Calipari would settle for a proposal to be the Longhorns’ subsequent head coach in the event that they make a aggressive supply.

It’s no secret Calipari has hit a tough patch in his tenure with the Kentucky Wildcats, which is now in its 14th season. After making 4 Remaining Fours and profitable a nationwide championship in a five-year span, Calipari has been unable to get Kentucky again to the Remaining 4 since 2015. He’s additionally didn’t win an NCAA Event recreation for the reason that memorable Candy 16 thriller vs. Houston in 2019.

Personally, I feel lots of issues must go proper for Calipari to finish up leaving for Texas, who can in all probability make a greater rent and never must spend practically as a lot as it’ll value to get Calipari, who’s making over $8 million per yr in Lexington.

One thing to look at for, however I wouldn’t anticipate this to get severe.
