This is so fn stupid. No one should be defending this guy. He's not SEC coach caliber. Well, maybe Vanderbilt.. You don't get blown out on a neutral court and almost lose to a winless directional school at home and deserve to keep your job in your 3rd season.

I loved the guy as a player and respect him as a person. But he is in over his head as a coach of a supposed blue blood. #FOOTBALLVOLLEYBALLSCHOOL

It wasn't about Xs and Os tonight, but about recruiting like every night

The players were totally flat and that's on them

this can't be a serious thread- you whiff on all the talent the visits the school you barely beat high school teams and have one of the largest NIL monies to spend on players and players still don't want to come. Money can't attract them here. These players know Pope is not a coach and refuse to be coached by a rec league coach. These players actually know more about the game than Pope ever will.

If we had lost tonight, I don’t know that Pope could’ve made during the weekend. Any bad loss to some random mid major I think finished for Pope.

This was as good as a loss but I get it. I really wanted NAU to pull it off. We have to hit bottom sadly and force the change. Pope should be beyond embarrassed but I really don’t think he is. He needs to be canned before the next game.

The team looked lost. Many times players are asking each other what to do though we have a full bench of well paid coaches.

We played with no intensity. Defense is atrocious , no defensive stands, hands down, no communication, missed rotation , rebounding is non existing, no press, no zone, nothing…

No point of talking about offense, subs management, game strategy , game preparation, team conditioning, team cohesion , cuase they te non-existent.

MP, please resign, and save yourself from more embarrassment. I know the paycheck is good but I am sure you can work out something out with the AD.

Thanks for the memories as a player, but the head coaching job at UK is not for you.
