People say blue blood jobs don’t bring coaches. If Duke or UNC came open the narrative would become completely different.

I remember Tubby's final years when it seemed like we were in the 8-9 game annually, that isn't good enough and it shouldn't be acceptable now.
Way too high unless we start beating someone ranked.
I guess Sweet Sixteen appearances are the new Standard. We aren't everyone's Super Bowl, yet we act like we won the Super Bowl by beating a bad Indiana team. Ran off the best recruiter in the game, so Barney could take back the basketball program and hire Mark "The Yes Man" Pope...Congrats
The sick part is that we will probably have most of these guys back next year. All of them are role players, but they all think they're the best player on the roster.
I think many will leave. They’re not going to stick around for this sh*tshow. Especially the freshmen who might actually become something better. Basically anyone who might actually turn out good for us will probably leave.
But Pope won’t replace them with anyone but more role players.
Embarrassing that I even feel giddy about this seeding. The really sad part is a lot of the fans are okay with this just because he’s a former player and loved by all
When fans quit traveling to away games and eventually to home games, then maybe the powers that be they will notice.
Well, Pope gets auto extensions for making Sweet 16's. Another great contract by Mitch.
I honestly don’t think they care. Look at the football program. That’s where the basketball program is headed or what Mitch Barnhart wants it to go towards. Just enough fans to keep them in the black while the admin pockets the rest.
Your only hope is former players and boosters raises hell enough to force change. Hope we have another 2009/Calipari situation or we’re f*cked.
I’m pretty confident we’ll miss the tourney anyway. Lose Saturday and the Alabama game and our path towards an at-large bid looks mighty improbable. No way we’re going to do well enough in the SEC with just an Indiana win in the pre-conference schedule.
That's a bit of an exaggeration imo. Tubby only finished the season outside the top 20 twice (last two seasons). We were seeded 2,3,5,2,4,1,1,2,8,8 during Tubby's tenure. I wouldn't call twice annually but maybe it works for you.
I'm sure that is what you will be rooting for. Whatever it takes to justify your desire to fire the coach.
He clearly stated Tubby’s final years and the last two years we were an 8 seed. How hard is it to read.
