You Oats fan boys are blithering idiots and look like fools. Alabama fans are laughing at your dumb asses.
Bama losing big to Zona
- Thread starter Monday Nitro
- Start date
How do you know it’s next level? No one has seen him play yet. You might be really disappointed when he comes back.
Some of you low IQ individuals expect Prime Phil Jackson as coach with Curry at point, MJ at the 2, LeBron at the 3, Bird at the 4 and Shaq at the 5 and if we don’t, we need to fire the coach because he can’t recruit.
You group of miserables make me giggle.
He played for Arizona State last year dumb *** and was a force in the paint. Just because you didn't watch and are misinformed, looking for any reason to be a skeptic doesn't validate your stance.
Dude's been doing this for almost 4 years.
This board has a group of about 5, and this has gone on for years, that are absolutely hypocrites without debate. They rode Calipari to extremes, then when someone’s were right on the money suddenly switched and pretended it never happened. Now they’re doing it again, and while calling out other coaches for things Calipari did many times. It’s not a debate that they are hypocritical to the extreme. If you could read some of it that went on you’d agree. This isn’t a situation where people can differ this is outright illogical nonsense and hypocrisy. I’m fine with some one making logical conversation and differing views. But this is a vast minority here of about 5 that does this over and over and no, they need to be called on it.
Not an Oats fanboy. But he is better than Mark and has been wildly more successful to this point. You’re missing the point. Someone thinking Oats would kill it here is called affirming evidence and common sense.
Are you a fan of his is a totally different conversation. But if you want to make the Pope is better, let’s hear it?
I think it’s past time we are concerned with recruiting. But I still don’t know how much of that is Mark’s fault, and how much is the contracts / Mitch’s fault. But Mark has looked like a very poor coach, I think being objective matters here.Some of you low IQ individuals expect Prime Phil Jackson as coach with Curry at point, MJ at the 2, LeBron at the 3, Bird at the 4 and Shaq at the 5 and if we don’t, we need to fire the coach because he can’t recruit.

Ok. I’ll just say I still don’t want to fire Pope and I have logical reasons for that. My mind can be changed on that if he doesn’t perform. I’d just like it to be clear that there is more than just two “camps”.
Im not really in one or the other. I think right now, he’s failed. Why that is I don’t fully know, but he’s looked bad as a floor coach too. I haven’t seen one team of his look prepared to the level UK teams should, always playing catchup, always winning by late adjustment and never cohesive. Recruiting hasn’t been good, so right now I’d be fine with a change. There is some gray area there, I really want Mark to work. But I can’t make that happen.
I actually agree with most of what you said there, except recruiting—-I have a different view than most there. Here’s what I’ll say about Monday Nitro or Dubya C Dubya. Even if you don’t agree with that guy, he does help combat some of the obvious trolls on the board. The guy hates my guts and when he creates the next account, he will probably attack me again unprovoked—-but I recognize he is an important part of the message board as well. He wants to protect Pope further than I would, but I believe he is just trying to be a good fan, or as far as he views it. I just hope Pope wins a few more here and we can all get along a little. Most of the fans are devastated and want to go back to being proud of the blue and white —- something we can all hope for.
He has no purpose. He's a coach cheer leader. No different than kybassfan. UK could hire a coffee table as coach. And he'd be posting "and some of you wanted "human sentience" as a coach
".
Man we’ve had a lot of experiences with him spanning many user names. I don’t think there’s a point to it other than to support the coach and attack fans when they see a change is needed. There is nothing a coach could do here, even losing or scandal, that would make him want a change. He’d instead just fight your common fan. But like I said we’ve had such a long history with him we’ve just seen it over and over. The longer you interact I think you’ll see it in time.
You may be right. I always try to remember there’s a human behind every keyboard and even though this is the internet, I always like to be mindful of that even if the other side isn’t. So I’m certainly not defending the guy.
The alabama, I mean oats board is that way ---------->
I agree, when I was in high school I dated a girl named Amy. She was a sweet girl, but my real crush was on a chick named Pamela Anderson. I should have asked her out, let's discuss.
I guess expecting to beat P4 teams is expecting an all star team? Hmm who knewSome of you low IQ individuals expect Prime Phil Jackson as coach with Curry at point, MJ at the 2, LeBron at the 3, Bird at the 4 and Shaq at the 5 and if we don’t, we need to fire the coach because he can’t recruit.

It's not that at all. It's the incessant negativity that doesn't even stop for a breather. Messed up stuff.
I think Oats is a very good coach and would certainly support his hiring if the position were available. But for those of you who think he would come in a nanosecond are still living in a bygone era. Social media has made the mob mentality commonplace and Bama may be more inviting. He has made it to a final four at a school which can pay him close to what we have and live at a place that doesn’t have near the pressure. That also applies to his family and some very good players as well.
Do you expect the winningest program of all time to just be happy after 6 straight years of mediocrity
A sane person would say they are not happy every so often, not all day every day. But to each his own.
You think I wasn't happy with the win last night? Go look at the game thread. Strange person
Sorry BarefootBeach, I'll try not to discuss UK basketball on a UK forum. Got it.
Mentioning Oats getting abused by Arizona is not hating on Oats, it’s a fact. Some of you people act like he is a family member, getting your itty bitty feelings hurt. 
And saying either Bama or Arizona would smoke UK isn’t even worth mentioning since we suck at this time.

Even though I’m disappointed in Pope this year, I would agree. Oats is a better overall coach than Pope at this point, but the man love for Oats is hilarious on this board.
That was around 7 of his aliases ago. You have a good memory lol.
That’s not it. It’s the way it’s set up. “Alabama getting beat” as the thread title then here we come defend oats is not how this is going. He’s trying to act as if everyone is wrong and oats is terrible because he’s not going 100-0 at Alabama. It’s disingenuous to say we’re coming to the rescue of Oats. Read back, look at the thread title. We’re simply saying right now Oats has done excellent at Alabama and set himself up for the UK job easily. Mark is not working out right now. So there’s no reason to put oats down at all, he’s done one of the best jobs I’ve ever seen in college basketball. For sure top 15 if not higher. This is Alabama, not Kansas. They don’t even have a good basketball NIL. So why make a thread like this and try to use this as a means to say everyone who would take oats is stupid? That’s ridiculous.Mentioning Oats getting abused by Arizona is not hating on Oats, it’s a fact. Some of you people act like he is a family member, getting your itty bitty feelings hurt.
Oats is FAR better than Mark Pope. I don’t like that anymore than anyone else here, but it’s the truth.
The one guy that would win BIG here and wants the gig is PEARL anyone that doesn’t see this is either a hypocrite or a complate phony look at the landscape of college sports simple
I agree. Pearl would be a home run here imo.
I can’t deny it anymore. I’d be a hypocrite if I said he’s too big of a POS. I believe to be great at this level you just about have to be. I’ve known handlers and college coaches, I’ve been involved in a few recruitments years ago. It’s really dirty, so why is Pearl any different than accepting Calipari? Calipari was just better at getting away with things. He’s slicker.
Pearl needs to be called but if that’s going to happen it would need to be in the next 12-15 months in my opinion.
It almost makes me wonder if it’s why Pearl went out. Doesn’t appear he’s running, so why? Maybe so his son can take over, he can retire in good graces and take some time off. Lobby for the job and take a break, do some TV and wait. He probably already knows if Mark will make it like Calipari and Oats both know and knew. If he doesn’t think so, this would be a way to set yourself up for it. Even when he finally won in Rupp he was talking more to UK fans than Auburn lol.

Now that there are no rules, he’s definitely the obvious hire. And he needs this for his title, I have a heard time Pearl is just handing it up without a championship. Looks like he’s setting himself up for it to me, but, maybe it politics. It’s something.
Pearl would probably do well if he came here tomorrow, but Pope is getting at least 3 years and by then Pearl will be too old. The next UK coach will be someome nobody has even mentioned yet.
Coaches like Pearl are hard to come by. Passion on max, coaching on max
Just no shirt off nonsense. Imma snob. STL cardinals fan; Kentucky. I’m about keeping the hair cut and looking like business. Just don’t like the prestigious organizations acting like the Boston Red Sox. Some disagree. I just like to keep it that way.
There’s nothing wrong with that view. If we beat a good team and Pearl takes his shirt off, I might take off mine at my house lol. Someone in the thread made a good point though — Pearl’s age is going to be a problem, since Pope will probably get time first to try to land his own plane. And I’ll be honest, I’m still really hoping it works with Pope —- I trust his vision. Just gotta see if he can fix this.
The age is for sure an issue. But technically he could go to close to 70 I guess. Calipari is getting closer to it, and he always said he won’t coach past 60.
