It ain’t happening. We are stuck and it’s probably going to be miserable for the next few years. It’s sad. I really did believe in Mark Pope and I genuinely do like the guy.

This is how programs die. With people exactly like Mitch Barnhart.
Hope that the boosters revolt. They will certainly be pocketing their wallets if this is the result of their $20 million.

lol it's funny but seriously we aren't that far from needing a short list of coaches. We need a young up and coming Golden, Dusty May type. Not these safe Pope, Scott Drew types.

Let the boosters, without Mitch Barnhart’s involvement, give Nate Oats an offer he cannot refuse. There’s already rumors from last year that he isn’t happy about the NIL situation at Alabama.

Kidnap him and force him to enjoy a 30 million 3 year contract to coach this team. Arrest the Crafts if they refuse to pony up.
I'm not an insider. I rarely ever have 'insider' information. However, I can state this with 100% certainty. Donovan was fully prepared to accept the UK job. Those in his circle were certain it was his. Then they hired Pope.

This info comes from a d1 coach. Take it for what it's worth.

Donavan coming back to college this many years later, in this environment would not be good. The college landscape is so different now. It would be just like Bill Belichick at UNC.

If that’s the case then Mitch deserves to be fired tonight.
