We literally had a hall of fame coach and we ran him off for a mediocre mid major coach. I hope you all watched the Arkansas Louisville game and saw the athletes we no longer have. Thanks, Matt Jones!
Are you happy now?

im tired of our fans acting like pope was a good hire
Would you rather lose to Oakland and Saint Peter’s bud and uncw Evansville and fail time and time again . This one will probably be out by year 3 will see . But I would rather pope lose every game here than have cal Back
Calipari was done here at UK. It’s that simple, anything else is BS. Don’t compare Pope and Cal, doesn’t make sense. Compare Pope to another coach that UK could’ve hired but not Cal. He needed to go and that the bottom line.
He wasn’t he got it simply because he played here that’s it . Nobody actually thought this would work expect for retard Mitch. Everyone just got on board because what are we supposed to do Hes already been hired so we had to try it and accept it . Pope don’t deserve to go yet but year 3 will tell us everything. The man can’t recruit I tell you that though
He'd been to final four with several different schools, and earned us a championship in 2012.
what was he thinking against Wisconsin when we had 38 wins that season?
It's something crazy to think you got all that talent and his team was compared to playing NBA teams and yet you lose that game?
Not saying wisconsin was a bad team, but you gotta be crazy good to beat a crazy good 38 win team like cal had years ago.............
Thats just one example. There are probably many others.

This is hilarious. The same people who said, "You ugly fans can't affect hiring decisions lolz" are now saying "you mfers ran off our coach."
Maybe if Calipari had actually put effort in to coach his last 4 years, he wouldn't have been pressured out.
Do think a change of scenery did him well.

I think this is God punishing us for some of our nasty fans. They need to repent so we can move forward.
There's a 3rd option, you know...
There are a lot of illnesses on this board.
The Cal you just watched was NOT The Cal we had at the end. So just stop this lol. Us hiring Pope was a mistake which is obvious now, hopefully we get the next one right, but it was time for Cal to go.
Nice "first" post on here ... I'm sure you're a long time Kentucky fan
Pope might not work out here (still too early to say for sure) but Calipari was terrible his last several years.
If Pope doesn't work out, there are other options. We don't have to be stuck with any coach forever.

Cal hasn't won anything at Arkansas up to this point. Don't crown him just yet.
He's just another Arkansas fan, stopping by to Troll

What? We didn't have a HOF coach from 2020-2024, that guy was a fraud.
The HOF coach you are trying to shove in our faces, left after the 2015 Wisconsin debacle.
Also, at least Pope lost to ranked teams, he didn't lose to teams like UNCW and Richmond at home. He also didn't lose to Saint Peters and freaking Oakland college as a massive favorite.
Let me guess, you're going to try to explain to me how Pope's losses are somehow worse. Don't even try, it won't work.
Coach Cals time here was finished regardless of running him off or not. As someone who spoke to him often and was somewhat close to him in his time here, it had run its course. He didn’t have the same excitement and vigor for the position anymore and anytime that happens and you become complacent it’s time for something new.
If you wish Cal were still here, I cordially invite you to go do intercourse with yourself.
Keep deflecting on the replies… We aren’t in the same talent galaxy as the Arkansas and Louisville rosters. We have become a sad, mediocre program.
The same coach they had a nine and 16 year had an embarrassing loss to Oakland last year and was dominated by mighty Saint Petes. Who's effort the last five years made Pope look like a genius getting us to the sweet 16 not to mention finally beating top 10 rank teams. Pope is having issues and it's not looking good right at this moment but no way it doesn't change the fact that our previous church coach needed to leave..
the OP has 6 posts and joined an hour ago... its another Troll. F*** off trolls,
Left 6 years to late

Cal wasn’t run off. He could have stayed as long as he wanted.
Two things can be true. It was time for Cal to go and Pope is not the guy to replace him.

Would have been tough to fire him just a few years removed from a Final 4, but would have been healthier for him and the program if he left a couple years before he did.
He wasn’t fired. He quit.
Yeah , I’m happy as hell that bastard is gone . End of story.
I'm tired of watching you acting like you're actually a UK fan.
Ellen, you really need to get a side Job and get out of the damn house.
This trolling is getting sad.

You and Anon07 need to go back to putting dildos up yalls rectum..
I feel like it was best for UK and Cal. UK may have just picked the wrong guy after but we'll see. He's not done yet!
You don't seem to have a problem telling others how to coach.
I'm very happy.
Not least because I'm learning my ability to not go all emo when things get rough, which I thought was just pretty decent, is apparently legendary in this day and age.

This is such an odd take for me. So Calipari is a bad coach because he blew a final4 game when he was undefeated.. yet, he got the team to 38 wins? So which is it?
Also, Wisconsin wasnt just "not a bad team", they were putting up some of the best metrics that decade. They were VERY good. Elite even.
Lastly, the Alex Poythres injury really hurt us for the Wisconsin game as we had no answer for Dekker and kaminsky hurt us. I just dont see how you can really dog a coach for losing a Final4 game no matter the talent he had. Which by the way.. turns out wasnt all THAT talented of a team: KAT is a great NBA player, Booker is too (but he was a freshman in a slump), thats about it. What many thought was a star studded team with lottery picks all around.. really wasnt.
