Arkansas Razorbacks basketball coach John Calipari made headlines on social media recently, drawing reactions from fans. On Wednesday, he was present in Maysville for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of a new garden at St. Patrick’s. It is scheduled to have a grand opening on May 12.
In a clip shared on social media, Calipari is meeting up with former POTUS Bill Clinton. The two greeted each other with a warm hug and spent some time at the event.
However, fans online were not kind to this meetup. They took to the comments to troll both Calipari and Clinton.
“So basically an Epstein Files meetup,” one fan commented.
“Was the narcissist trying to sell Bill a used car?” another fan joked.
“Now I know why there was a weird smell in the air today,” this fan wrote.
“Cal is on the list??” another fan said.
“Well, more proof evil draws evil,” one fan commented.
Before joining Arkansas, John Calipari served as the coach of the Kentucky Wildcats from 2009 to 2024. He helped the program win a national championship during the 2011-12 season.
After an upset loss to Oakland in the 2024 NCAA Tournament, Calipari announced his decision to leave Kentucky. In April 2024, he signed a five-year deal with the Razorbacks. During his debut campaign, he helped the team qualify for March Madness. However, they suffered a Sweet 16 loss at the hands of Texas Tech.
This season, John Calipari and Arkansas once again made March Madness as the SEC Tournament champions. However, their quest for a national championship ended following another Sweet 16 loss to the Arizona Wildcats.
Analyst names John Calipari as a potential candidate for UNC head coaching job
The North Carolina Tar Heels parted ways with Hubert Davis after a disappointing first-round exit in this year’s NCAA Tournament. The program is currently on a nationwide search for a suitable replacement.
According to CBS Sports’ Chris Walker, John Calipari is the best person to help UNC achieve success on the court.
“Carolina, you want to win? Go hire John Calipari,” Walker said. “If you want it to become what it used to be, every kid wanted to go there, go hire John Calipari and watch what happens. Forget about all the stuff you think comes with him. You bring that guy here, the world changes. He’s the one guy that transcends everything.”
Hubert Davis spent five seasons with UNC. He put up a 125-54 overall record with four March Madness appearances.
