Never should have been offered but with Eli and Mitch making secret deals it’s obvious UK athletics are screwed.

Our new AD will have his strings pulled by 8itch Barnhart. You don't get a cushy 1m pre-retirement job to not have massive influence.
We will likely hire a middling D2 HC with a good heart and a 8:30 PM bedtime.
The refs arent costing us this game. Some of t
He is totally one dimensional. I dont understand how he has no other game with his athleticism. Its obvious there is no coaching or player development going on in practice.
Vital practically said that Pope sucks.
He is right.
He is right.
We probably win the first game. But I’m sure Pope will blame fatigue if he loses Thursday.
You mean they don’t run the picket fence with your big 20 feet out holding the ball with his back to the basket posing no threat while the guards play duck duck goose?
Who genuinely returns to this program next year if Pope is HC? I don’t see Chandler staying, he goes to BYU if I had a guess. JJ and BG are (hopefully) gone. Moreno maybe? But he’s doing pretty decent draft stock wise. Jelly probably goes pro elsewhere. Mo definitely doesn’t stay unless we overpay.
I’d seen more than enough 2 months ago. I really was so hopeful Pope could do it here. He can’t and this is awful.
This really has to end. Kentucky basketball can’t afford to do this Again next year, it will be a bloodbath.

It's how we lose and how we play consistently. If we improved as a team on the court. If Pope was smart and made changes to actually coach some guys, maybe more would be more willing to give pope a 3rd year. Those people have toxic positivity lol
Yep. Had a Tennessee guy I know tell me months ago y’all just hired Butch Jones.
Another 1-2 years apparently. He’s embarrassing us way more than Cal or Tubby or even BCG ever did.
I just don’t see this team having a run at either the SEC OR NCAA. Just too up and down and constantly poor effort
Next year? In the words of BTO—You ain’t seen nothing yet!
30 + point beat down. Change is a comin. I hope.
Golden said he wanted to embarrass us. Whelp. He’s a mans of his word.
What has Mark Pope shown from year 1 to year 2 that would make UK think year 3 and beyond will be successful?
Issue is, he’s your only shot at winning game like this. Chandler going off is it. If you’re not going to do that then it’s scrapped before it starts. You need a red hot guy and Chandler is the only guy capable of that. It’s Cinderella time, fire away and pray.
If anyone on here has connections. Now’s the time.
You will need to deduct a million of it to pay Mitch's new "job"
Losing is one thing, getting embarrassed at home on senior night is another. Pope is a good guy but I don’t see how he can continue as coach.
really....a coach and team that is a bit better than .500 you dont think will perform well in the post season?
That is evidence enough that the Pope is super smart is b/s.
I would hope we could do better than Oats
It’s time for BBN to call for his job. Injuries don’t get you blowout back to back.
I'm usually the first to to jump on the the refs but this has nothing to do with refs and everything to do with once again coming out once again unprepared, uninspired (except Oweh), and out coached. I'm so tired of collecting data in the first half just to get our teeth kicked in. I'm pretty much over this experiment.
Kentucky basketball used to be fun to watch. This year has been frustrating and painful to watch. I’ll be glad when this is over. Pope will resign if he really cares.
