Twitter Reacts to Louisville and Chris Mack ‘Separation Agreement’
Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sports
Mack is on his way out.
The Louisville Cardinals and head coach Chris Mack are reportedly finalizing a separation agreement for Mack and the Cards to part ways in Mack’s fourth season. The Cardinals sit at 11-9 on the season and have gone through a multitude of turmoil in the ‘21-’22 season.
Now, Mack seems to be on his way out just two seasons after fielding a top-10 team in 2019-20. Earlier today, Mack’s coaches radio show was canceled and reports surfaced that the Board of Trustees and the Athletic Association would be meeting on Wednesday.
After those initial reports, the writing seemed to be on the wall.
Louisville will be searching for a new head coach, their second coaching search in five seasons.
What was your favorite moment of the Chris Mack era at Louisville? Here’s what Twitter had to say about the impending agreement:

Many in the industry believe that Louisville is one of the top seven or eight jobs in college basketball.
Long line for this one. https://t.co/4voR9TC1ov

UofL has called a joint meeting for tomorrow at 4:00 for the Board of Trustees and the UofL Athletic Association. The meeting will address “pending litigation and personnel matters.” Also, the Chris Mack coaches show schedule for tonight has been canceled.

Sure wish he had never left Xavier. What a mess.

Former Louisville star Butch Beard on U of L basketball: “They have run it into the ground. Right now the basketball program is in the Ohio River, right next to the Belle of Louisville. The Belle of Louisville is going to float. The basketball program is getting ready to drown.”

Would love to hear the UofL conspiracy theories about Payne being a Calipari mole within the program if it’s KP https://t.co/thpGnhgWxB

Louisville hires that would worry/annoy Kentucky, or at least its fans, the most: Bruce Pearl, Kenny Payne.
Pearl would get under Cal’s skin. KP is the only human out there who might have the clout and connections to pry DJ Wagner, No. 1 in 2023, from Cal and UK.
Intrigue.

Listen here y’all I’m dead serious… if you’re telling me there’s a chance I see Bruce Pearl at a Kroger in LOUISVILLE…… I won’t be able to not approach.

There aren’t a ton of college basketball hires that were universally praised only to fall flat like Chris Mack at Louisville. Archie Miller comes immediately to mind, but he’s one of only a few. Maybe Shaka at Texas? But I even remember some hesitancy about the fit at that time

Trying to think of the best Chris Mack memories at Louisville:
– Apologizing to Coach Cal for a ‘leaked’ video with Eric Wood
– Upsetting Buster Olney when he blew off a halftime interview
– Having the entire fanbase turn on him in under 4 years

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – The University of Kentucky Police Department welcomed two new K-9’s to its Explosive Detection division.
“Kinder” is a Chocolate Labrador imported from the United Kingdom. She’s just shy of two-years old. She’s trained in Dutch commands. She spent several weeks training at Ventosa Kennels in North Carolina in explosives detection, tracking and article recovery before coming to Lexington.
“Kip” is a English Yellow Labrador imported from the United Kingdom. She approximately a year and eight months old. She is trained in Dutch commands. She spent six weeks at Ventosa Kennels in North Carolina training in explosives detection, tracking and article recovery prior to joining UK Police.
Both dogs are newly nationally certified through the North American Police Work Dog Association (NAPWDA) as Explosives Detection K-9’s.
At the center of author Naima Coster’s novel What’s Mine & Yours are two struggling mothers. Jade is a Black single mother who is trying to provide a better life for her son, and Lacey May is a white mother who is trying to give her daughters the life she never had. Their stories will intertwine over decades, starting with when Lacey May opposes the integration of her daughters’ school – the same school Jade is trying to get her son into. Coster told NPR’s Audie Cornish that fiction gives us a window into other people’s lives but that does not mean we have to condone their actions.

UFC strawweight champion Rose Namajunas and former champ Carla Esparza are expected to meet for a second time at UFC 274 on May 7. Sports Illustrated’s Justin Barrasso was the first to report the news of the match-up being in the works via a tweet, although the promotion themselves have yet to confirm anything regarding the booking. Esparza won the pair’s initial meeting back at The Ultimate Fighter 20 Finale in December 2014, where she defeated Namajunas via a third-round submission due to a rear-naked choke to become the inaugural UFC women’s strawweight champion. The 34-year old Torrance, California native currently is on a five-fight winning streak and is coming off of a second-round TKO victory over Yan Xiaonan at UFC Vegas 27. Namajunas meanwhile is 6-1 in her last seven Octagon outings and will try to build on a split-decision win over former UFC strawweight champion, Zhang Weili, in their rematch back at UFC 268. The best remains #—————- — @RoseNamajunas successfully defended her throne after a 5-RD battle last night at #UFC268! pic.twitter.com/uurQzWSAC6 — UFC (@ufc) November 7, 2021 Fightful has all of your MMA and Boxing needs covered.
