Your agenda keeps saying his last 5 years. If you want to talk about his last 5 tournament years, then that means you are talking about 2018-2019 which he went to the Elite Eight and was overtime from going to Final Four. There was not a tournament in 2020. I do not like first round losses either, but I appreciate NCAA championship, NCAA Finalist, NCAA Final Fours, and Elite Eights, which Cal finished 8 out of his 14 years they had a tournament while he was our Coach. Those are facts. We will not find anyone else that will do that.
Grass is greener, huh?

Good point. It has only been 27 years and getting ready to be 28 years after this year. Not 30.
Elaborate how you think this team is better? And honestly, im not sure this is a stance you really want to take: pope's $22mil roster is worse than all but one of Cals rosters.
I don't have an agenda, Cal did great when he was out talenting everyone, but then other coaches who could actually coach caught up in talent and he lost it, he then started getting out coached by teams with lesser talent. We could have kept Cal another 10 years and the results would have been the same. You keep on hanging onto Cal's nut sack if that makes you feel better.
LOL at your last 5 years talking point.
2020 26-5, won the SEC, Top 10 team.
2021 9-16 atrocious.
2022, 26-8, 2nd in the SEC, national player of the year, top 10 team nearly all season.
2023 22-12 3rd in the SEC.
2024 23-10, 2nd the SEC, 2nd in the nation in scoring.
The fact that Matt Jones had you mindless sheep including the covid year in your “last 5 years” talking point that every single one of you repeat shows what frauds you people are. The fact that going 24-12, finishing 6th in the SEC with a sweet 16 appearance had you all crying tears of joy and saying you’re back shows how fake you are.
Cal didn’t give up on the program, you weak minded bandwagon fans did. Thats why you all spend so much energy trashing the program and spreading negative propaganda about the program now. It seems to give you people purpose. Y’all are so weird that you literally hate Cal and act like he committed some crime against humanity.
Look you arrogant prick....I noticed you didnt say one thing about NCAA results. You are bragging about being 2nd and third in the SEC?!?. What about the SEC tourney? Ive never even listened to KSR
You are still butt hurt because you are the fans he was talking about with little basketball IQ. It is funny you say he can not coach. A guy that took 3 different schools to the final four and it will not be long before he takes the 4th. You say he could only coach talented teams. His team was not more talented than the 96 Kentucky team, but somehow he took a UMASS team and put a loss on their record. It will be OK. CAL did not mean to hurt your self-esteem, he was just trying to educate you.
You are the fans that slobbered all over his nuts like he could do no wrong. I was ok with him being an average coach as long as he was winning, but if you think Cal was anything more than an average coach you are in denial. You are also the worst kind of UK fan, you are willing to accept mediocrity. Maybe you should be a fan of a team that is ok with 1st round tournament losses, or the fan of schools that hang sweet sixteen banners. Because that **** don't fly around here.
It is so obvious that you are just mad that he offended you. Now you are trying to get even by talking about his nuts. Sounds like you have some deep inner desires about him that you might want to get therapy help with.
It is funny how so many Cal haters want to counter any positive Cal statements with personal attacks. Seems like there are some insecurities or immaturity out there.
This thread s akin to saying I like my toast burnt and my eggs runny. One has nothing to do with the other. Calipari doesn’t coach here any longer. Mark Pope is the coach. Last year we saw what this team can do when it’s properly constructed. This team is not last years team. Let’s quit peeking in the oven while the cake is baking. It starts over tonight. The Indiana game Saturday is huge. Let’s get these two wins and build.
I am not a Cal hater and I don't counter any positive Cal statements except when delusional people like you try to tell us that Cal's last 5 years were good. That is just insane.
We need to hire a proven coach who is hungry for an NCAA title ??
We did not need to hrie an unproven coach who is hungry for a better job, making promises that he cannot deliver.
It appears the jump from BYU to Kentucky was too big for Mark Pope, unless something changes IMMEDIATELY to prove he belongs here.

To be fair, arky fans were ready to fire Cal last year when they couldn't win a conference game
