The Hire of the Decade

In 2009 coach John Calipari was hired as the University of Kentucky’s new head basketball coach. He took over as head coach knowing that it would be probably the toughest head coaching job he possibly could have gotten himself into. As a Kentucky basketball fan this was an extremely important moment considering how much pride Kentucky fans take in their basketball team. Calipari knew what he was doing when he signed his eight year contract with Kentucky making 31.65 million and calling his new job a “dream job”. This salary is a big deal considering John Calipari is the highest paid college coach in the country and seems to be at Kentucky with a fire under him to win us some basketball games.
