A solid portion of the Kentucky fanbase has called for John Calipari’s job. But what about Mitch Barnhart? Calipari’s struggles have been commented on all the way up to a national stage and are certainly real. But the case can be made that Barnhart is also not the most beloved figure in the UK athletic department — and not just to the UK fanbase.
The Athletic’s Kyle Tucker shared information regarding the poor relationship between Barnhart and Calipari, which bares the question of should Barnhart being on the hot seat. Fans have been quick to go at Calipari for his lack of success on the basketball court over the last few years.
