What on earth are you talking about? You keep acting like you're transcribing an interview, but clearly there is no interview yet...
“The first step is knowing what that assignment is... It's one standard and it never changes. If you hang banners you're successful. If you don't you won't.” 
Well that was a bunch of nothing lol. Called us the cougars on accident lol
That may have been the single most disappointing nothing burger of an interview I've ever seen.
Edit: to no fault of Pope's. Interviewer asked nothing of substance.

you must have inside info, he said he's a big Swifty fanHEY SCOTTIE. YOUR INTERVIEW IS REAL GOOD AND ALL, AND IMMA LET YOU FINISH, BUT MARK POPE HAS THE MOST SPORTS FANS OF ALL TIME. OF ALL TIME.
Great personality. He should kill it in living rooms. Extremely likeable
Agree completely. Love hearing him talk. Has such a confidence about him but not arrogant and just an engaging personality.
Coach Pope came on right after Scottie Scheffler. I thought he did a very good job with the interview. Positive, enthusiastic, no bad-mouthing CCC ... just looking at going forward to hang National Championship banners ! Couldn't have been much better, from my standpoint !
Way to go, Coach Pope ! ! !
Go 'Cats ! ! !

I'm happy to tell you things that may or may not be accurate and/or come to pass... For a fee.
Um, Wintergreen. He's not a girl.
What you should have taken from that interview is that he's an un-hateable person. This will just chap the a$$es of rival fans because their "Kentucky hate" will be fueled by PURE jealousy going forward. They can't blame it on anything else.
That went exactly as well as a 2:30 SportsCenter interview could ever hope to go
This is absolute b.s. ! Not more than 30 seconds about Taylor Swift !
If this were a Duke new coach interview, they'd have made a full day celebration of it.
Back in the day some of my buddies and I hung out with Pope a few times because he befriended our 6’6” friend and used to treat him like his mini-me. I can confirm the ultracool personality you see on TV is if anything toned down from what Mark is in real life. It’s no kind of act at all.
Five years of habit plus jet lag plus little to no sleep = minor slip up
You could tell that is one tired dude. He's been working almost 24/7 for a week now. He did great though!
I liked how he answered the question about Cal. I think that was asked to try to get him to give a negative soundbite, but that won’t work on Positive Pope.
Right. Who the hell dips Skoal mint? I’d bet 1 in every 10,000 dippers at best
Just a general introduction to the viewing public. UK bball is alive and refreshed.
