Fire Pope Now
- Thread starter MidseasonTweak
- Start date
I posted this same thing a few days ago and there were actually people who thought it was a bad idea. 
Nope. This game will put fire in their azz. Watch and see
I agree. No way Kentucky should ever have to hit a miracle to pull out a one point win against a team like NAU.
And Kentucky would have still lost without one of the worst goal tending non-calls I've ever seen, the kind of call that makes people think refs are crooked.

The "win" means nothing. Fire Mark Pope AND Mark Fox.
Interim needs to be Mo Williams.

The experiment needs to be over. This is absolutely embarrassing at this point
I can honestly say this is the first time in my life I was pulling Against us. Didn’t watch but had to put it on with 2:00 to go after seeing we were still down. Pope is just bad for the program when he has lifetime fans (and yes I am one) pulling for us to lose. We shouldn’t ever be in position to lose games like this, the fact we were I wanted them to finish it off.
He can save his legacy here by resigning, if he cares about any such thing.
That guy was laughing when he typed it, I guarantee it.
Here's a live look-in outside Pope's house:
Who even takes a picture like that? I mean he comes across so fake to me. Probably why players don’t want to play for him.
Money aside. We have got to remove him. We are in serious bad shape. This guy cannot teach winning basketball. He is completely lost.
Please fire him. It would be better for the program, and would probably allow the fans to rally around this team.
Pope will not be fired during the season. Just won't happen. No AD at a school like UK will do that. But, lose to IU, UofL and finish mid pack or worse in the SEC might make it happen. And it should.
he’s a weirdo that has no clue what he’s doing.I hate to say this as well. With seeing the lack of energy, not rebounding and the 6 million dollar man continuously open time after time and guards with shoot first mentality I switched it off with ,"A I hope they loose mind set".
That is a picture my DAD would have laughed at and said, "that sure as h*** is one FRUITY guy". Is this nut case really UK's Basketball coach?
I guess the Kansas beat down wasn’t enough to do that
Would seem like UK would actually be the type of school to fire a coach during the season. Say Louisville and unc are as bad as the Kansas game.
I dont see a small school doing it but UK wouldn't surprise me. UK is the winningest program in college basketball ya know.
I think the pressure has completely got the best of him. He probably can't even sleep. Much less coach. But that's UK.
It was a big loss last night regardless. For those that weren’t already in the know (many of us already were), it was the realization that KY basketball (for the time being) is dead.
Sorry but you can’t fire in mid-late march and start your coaching search in April when you know NOW (in November). It’s needed for the good of the program. If pope stays the boos are only going to get louder and louder at every game. I can only imagine the Louisville game (they beat us by 20 easily).
I agree with that, but I won't cheer for the Cats to lose. Last night finally made me realize that Pope is never going to be the coach we need.
I hoped to wake up to rumors of him being fired. Got to admit, I'm a little disappointed this morning.
Hiring someone like Mark Fox who was a major failure as a HC should've told us Pope had NO clue and wasn't right for the job
I must admit that I have thought the same thing since he got here. Of course, maybe it's just that he is so damn awkward and so incredibly tone deaf.
Hey Hurley and K took a beat to find their footing as a coach as well. Or at least that's what I heard over summer ...... figure Pope needs another year or 2 he'll be great right? Dan Hurley 2.0 right around corner right?
