He’s Not Made For This Stage

And yet some wonder why elite recruits aren’t coming here.
Traded Cal word salad for an entirely different kind.
Oh my dear lord. Just play the best players and stop trying to be a therapist.
I’d rather listen to Cal. Took me 10 years to get tired of Cal speak and only 1 for Pope speak.
And some still prefer him over the guy who took Alabama to a Final Four?
How did this dude last more that 2 minutes in a Rick Pitino practice?
I wonder what his 1996 teammates honestly think of his coaching.
He was the backup behind McCarty. Probably kept his mouth shut and his head down.
We all know. If you have eyes and ears you know.
What on earth is that even supposed to mean?! If that’s how he’s trying to get through to this team, it’s no wonder they’re having trouble getting it.
Idk about delusional but you can tell he’s a different guy this year. Pressure. Some handle it. Some don’t.
Therapy talking his way to the unemployment line. Big time feminine energy out of this goofball.
I'm sure the players like Pope as a person. Seems like a genuine good guy. BUT, you know our player roll their eyes when he says stuff like that in a team meeting.
Pope is about to take his 9th team in 11 years to double-digit losses.
Think about that.
This is the guy we have leading our program.
At Kentucky.

Pope: This is how to say everything and nothing simultaneously
And next year will be his 10th in 12 because for some reason we’re bringing his butt back for a 3rd year of being a lame duck because screw Kentucky, right?
You can only use the come to Jesus stuff so many times before the players start getting fatigued.
Therapy is great and all but STFU and winning is even better.
every time pope talks it becomes more and more cringe. recruits dont take pope seriously....but lets all continue to blame the JMI deal.
He's talking about taking a look at yourselves, but he's pussyfooting around things. Pitino would have just said "you ******* suck, get your heads out of your asses".
Chronic positivity becomes a negative that psychobabble magnifies.
I am wondering the same. Surely Pope wasn't like this then. My gosh he has been neutered.
I think he's getting all of these pearls here
Man I miss the old Rupp Rafters. On3 is lame

I’ve heard my dad say “There’s a fine line between a genius and an idiot.” Now I’m wondering which side of the line that statement falls on.
Virgin mint juleps at Keeneland just won’t seal the deal
A lot of vague words to mean anything, but nothing about basketball. I understand if he's trying to fix any mental issues. This should have been fixed immediately after that UofL game.
Cal had the bacon on his salad and Pope doesn't.
Dr Phil coaching at UK.........This..............is..............not..........good
The Pattern.
Rupp = Great
Hall = Good
Sutton = Drunk
Pitino = Great
Tubby = Good
Gillespie = Drunk
Cal = Great (till 2016)
Cal = Good (2017-till end of tenure)
Pope = Drunk on Positivity/Analytics
So by this retconned Coaching Pattern.
Our next coach "Should be a great one."

Pope sounds like a counselor at a hippie commune.
That tweet makes me think we're in trouble.
Yeah, pretty telling and scary.
Not hard to see why we have an identity crisis.
It’s our fault. the fruit cake fans that love Kentucky because of a standard but are called crazies for not wanting to lower the standard.Not hard to see why we have an identity crisis.
Donovan would have left the Bulls for us. Mitch Farthart did this blue blood dirty and now we are paying the price.
