Oh I know. The constant crying is hilarious.
Congratulations to him. It’s a blessing all the way around. His wife has been battling cancer and this move gets them home near family. Sometimes you have to look beyond the hire. Nobody bleeds blue like John Pelphrey. Best to him.
Pope doing what he can to stack up support for him in case the season doesn’t go as planned. I think this just draws out more questions about what mark pope is trying to do. Pelfrey doesn’t do much for our program other than another attempt to remind fans of better times.
program is a joke. if this is the best hire you can make that speaks volumes to where we are at. cant even hire a recruits father or something.
Gotta love the Unforgettables.
They were like super heroes when I was a kid in Lexington.

Anybody heard what accent he’s going to use this time? The New York one or the Kentucky one?
But but I thought we already had enough staff members? You said it. Not me.
Assistants yea. He’s a developmental guy. Not a bench assistant. I also think we are going to be very good this year. Projections having Alex Wilkins as a 5-8 ppg scorer are hilarious.

Pelphrey is head coach in waiting, upon the 2047 retirement of Mark Pope.
absolutely not a good hire on paper.
And everyone thought we were hiring Reese Alton’s father and now there’s talk that he’s an LSU lean.
Some of ya’ll think Pope is so desperate to remain the Kentucky coach that he’ll drag us all down to hell before relinquishing the job gracefully. And the sad thing is I’m not sure you’re wrong.
That’s always been the rumored destination along with Wichita state. He wants to start day 1. It’s why Houston moved on from him.
What does a Director of Player Development actually do ?? What are his primary, if not essential, duties and responsibilities ?? I really do not know.
When things go sideways midseason, he’ll become the interim coach. That’s a good thing about the move. We have our midseason replacement for Pope if we need it.
Can we at least let Pelphry fail before claiming this a horrible hire? I get how negative many are, but damn folks, at least let things get going before jumping off the proverbial bridge.
I have to agree on the nostalgia hires. Need to simmer it down
So who was on your list of player developoment coaches? Lots of great young ones out there that will run circles around JP?
I have no idea what JP’s role will be or what he is directly responsible for, but to act like you know he is going to be bad at it shows you’re just pessimistic about Pope no matter what. That’s fine, but stop acting like you know this is a bad hire when you probably have no idea how good JP is at this job or what his qualifications for it are.
You can't make a strong hire when your entire brand is nerdy and weak. Once again go get em tiger. Reach for the stars! UK is a joke right now. But wait I have to watch the ten loss season this year before I can be negative about the first two and a half years of evidence.
Yep , they changed my mind and fooled me with the Mark Pope press conference dog and pony show. I'm not buying another one.
The nostalgia act that no one asked for nor gives a f about.
Does it really matter? What has John P done to justify his hire? This is the same as Calipari brining on Bruiser Flint. Just a buddy hire: he doesn’t elevate us in any way. Just more nostalgic bait to try and distract from his shortcomings. I really hope we are awesome, but this decision shows why we haven’t been imho. Under qualified in every area for an elite program. We should be spending millions to bring in UConn’s assistant Murray. He’s a real future coaching hire and would be a real boon for recruiting and coaching.
That dude had deer in the headlights look at his introduction. Maybe it was the Makers.The Mark Pope press conference reminded me way too much of this:
Idk man I still take Billy G and UKs resources over Pope and UKs resources..... Billy landed some studs back then. At least one I think lol. Give him 22 million and his team treats Popes team exactly like Georgia does I would bet everything on it.The Mark Pope press conference reminded me way too much of this:

man UK needs something fresh. Somebody that's got that fire and with the times of NIL.Give Me Nate Oats all day or Jai Lucas.
Patrick Patterson, with early help from Tubby.
Dude ran Patterson until he bled through his shoes. Beginning of the end for Otis.
Patrick Patterson bleeding through his shoes absolutely destroys anything Pope related lol. Really am only kidding.
