“I’m going to describe somebody and you tell me who I’m describing: NCAA baggage, college titles, fired at the pro level, terrific with the media, maybe the best recruiter ever at the college level, speed-talker, handsome – that’s Pete Carroll, you thought it was John Calipari. There’s a thin line between who we wildly respect and who we’re cynical on.”
After ESPN aired its newest ’30 for 30’ episode titled, ‘One and Not Done’, Colin Cowherd lauded the documentary for painting the normally villainous Kentucky coach in a brighter light.
Cowherd pointed out that paradox in how fans view sports figures and mentioned how we love Pete Carroll, but hate John Calipari when they two have essentially had the same career.
