Cause he knows this teams not any good and he has no answers.
Pope being disrespectful to….
- Thread starter Vek96
- Start date
Pretty much the exact opposite. Gritty as all heck honestly. He did a lot of the dirty work on a team that didn’t have many guys that did that sort of thing.
Pitino should call Pope tell him he’s being a pu$$y and hang up
Pope reminds me of the SNL Walter Mondale interview skit atm.
"Walt, you know your campaign is tanking right now?"
"I know"
"And that you have a very low chance to win?"
"I know"
"And that people are really not liking you?"
"I know."
"Then what are you doing"
"I don't know."
I always podcast the postgames on the treadmill the next morning. Makes me forget how much I hate cardio. Did it get addressed on today’s postgame show?
I think Matt is still out on vacation. Not sure if he did the postgame or not. His dad has been going through some health stuff so he's been very quiet on SM and been away from the postgame shows a bit here and there..
Has he succumbed to the pressure of the UK job ???
Pope after a big win :
"In a lot of ways, it's just a beautiful thing to interact with these young human beings and their full emotive force. Their passion has an enlightening quality that amplifies all we do for each other when attempting to edify this program. I, for one, think our young men were conscious first, while still being present, in this game, and that's important. It was good to get a win."

A lot of female mentality answers in that discussion with Leach. Not judging, but this isnt UK Basketball!
Not sure. I just know he was out most of this week. I was too pissed to listen to any postgame much.
I'm not a player, lol. Maybe you meant something that I'm not reading correctly? I was talking about when signing up here he should have known what he was getting into.
Cal went to the Elite Eight and the Final Four his first and second year.. Cal knew the assignment.. Pope... I dont think so
Oats has absolutely no respect for Pope. He’s now 4-0 against him. He’s going to get Caleb Holt. One has a killer mentality. The other just crosses his arms
Pope can walk away having made around 12 million dollars from Kentucky, which is at least 7 million dollars after taxes. That's generational wealth for his children and his wife. He can always rest in the fact that he gave it his best.
It's time for a Pope and Kentucky to part ways.

Pope is running a head of what Payne did at Louisville but it’s not going to be good enough at Kentucky. When we lose more often than not it’s by big margins except for North Carolina*. I’m afraid it’s going to get worse, you have got to know when you’re not getting the job done. Last years team is better than this years has been.
Basically it’s I have no idea what to do, no answers on how to win, and I’m in over my head.
Tom is a pro. He probably gets it more than we do. I am just so thankful i look at "college sports" as what it is now, an uneven field of here today gone tomorrow amature players who go to highest bidder and no allegiance. So why should I have any?
He beats his dog and pulls the wings off of butterflies as well. The inevitable 90 Mark Pope sucks in every way imaginable threads after every loss are so tiresome.Wouldn't it be nice to actually discuss what went wrong and what went right and what we might do to fix this on a few threads rather than A we are doomed, the seasons over or B MARK POPE SUCKSlet me count the ways after every loss.
Pope is to UK exactly what Matt Doherty was to UNC. Both won national titles as players and were given the coaching job without the resume to support it.
lol, WE can't do anything to fix this. is this a serious post?
Exactly. Even at a lower level he didn’t win anything. No conference championships. NIT or CBI finals and no tourney wins. And that was after 9 years as a head coach.
It’s okay to take a chance on a guy based off potential if they’re young like Golden or Scheyer. But Pope was 51. It was a reach and a panic hire by an AD that just isn’t a basketball guy.
So do we discuss KY basketball or just chant Pope SUCKS ad infinitum
He failed medical school? I hadn't heard that before, I assumed he got drafted into the NBA and had to drop out of medical school.
He dropped out to get into coaching so yeah failed wasn’t the right word but to me it’s strange to go the whole med school thing just the throw that all away especially at that time not knowing where basketball coaching could take you. Regardless, communication is a big quality in being a coach and he seems deficient in it.
And may I add announcers claiming his team doesn’t play hard on national tv. That has to sting as a coach.
It’s true tho. That’s the biggest thing I just can’t get past. Took my family to the Gonzaga game to show them what BBN really is. Game started and there was literally no effort the whole game. None.
I’m not exaggerating. I somehow picked the worst loss of my lifetime to take my family to. Fans didn’t have one moment to cheer for. No exaggeration. Five minutes in and we hadn’t scored a point.
all this stuff on every thread boils down to POPE AINT CUT OUT FOR THIS JOB.
Mitch threw him in the fire and he’s burning.
