Pope is Who He Was When He Was Hired

[darkshadesofblue]

Mitch looked at that and decided Pope was the man for the job.

But he’s a KY boy, that’s like 5000+ bonus points right there

The pep rally was goofy and cringe.

I will confess when we beat Duke and Gonzaga I thought maybe I was wrong. By end of the year after so many head scratching losses and repeatedly falling behind big to p4 teams I was more back to where I was originally and certainly am now. You couldn't say that on here though. Popes prayer warriors would attack u.

Mitch Barnhart made this hire kind of like when he hired Billy Gillespie because he beat Louisville in the NCAA tournament. Pope had some impressive wins like Kansas on the road and yeah this guy he's a former cat. This will be an easy hire for me. More like a lazy one.
