John Calipari is the most talked about person in the state of Kentucky on Monday. He is also the most talked about person in college basketball on the day of the national championship.
That did not stop him from going for a casual stroll!
A shockingly fast timeline of events saw internet gossip become reality on Sunday night. Barring a catastrophic final-hour snag, Calipari will be officially introduced as the new head basketball coach at the University of Arkansas in coming days. It is expected that the 65-year-old is going to sign a five-year contract worth approximately $8 million per year that is largely subsidized by frozen meat.
His decision to leave one of the best jobs in the country for another SEC school created a seismic shift in the sport. The college basketball world completely imploded when the news went from rumor to real.
However, a formal announcement has yet to drop. There is so much speculation and wonder surrounding Calipari’s departure from Kentucky. All kinds of questions remain unanswered.
John Calipari is living his best life!
Even though he will be considered a villain in Lexington because of how this all played out, nothing was going to stop Calipari from living his best life on Monday afternoon. He went on a hilariously audacious walk down a very busy street as if the chaos did not exist. It was like nothing was abnormal.
Calipari declined to comment about his decision to coach the Razorbacks instead of the Wildcats and never broke stride. The local news captured an incredible video of the legendary coach walking away while pushing a dog stroller with his small white dog following closely behind.
For Calipari to leave his house on a day like today is bold. To take a casual walk is even more so.
To go even one step further and decline to answer questions about the biggest story in sports because he was on a walk is unbelievably funny. You can’t help but respect the audacity!
