After two days of speculation, John Calipari has finally accepted the Kentucky job. He will become the highest paid coach in the country with a contract that will give him around $5 million a year for seven years totalling $35 million.The domino's are already starting to fall. Both Memphis recruits DeMarcus Cousins and Xavier Henry are expected to follow Calipari to Kentucky. Also the nation's top un-signed player John Wall is expected to go to Lexington as well. And with Jodie Meeks and Patrick Patterson expected to return, Kentucky can already contend for a national championship.
Memphis is looking at Missouri coach Mike Anderson and USC coach Tim Floyd as a replacement. Whoever Memphis replaces Calipari with, they are certain to go from an Sweet Sixteen team to a team that can barely compete in the Conference USA after all these loses.
But the deal is done and let the Calipari and Pitino feud live on.
