Pope

Still trying to figure out his offense compared to Calipari looks worse to me

It’s because these players are way less talented.

 

[loublue22_rivals308424]

he forgot to sign guys who can shoot, an honest mistake

 

[Pensacola_Cat]

11 minutes without a field goal. Wow.

 

[true-blue1]

NO HELP DEFENSE!!!!!!!!!

Pope's offense is fine. It's not being ran very well by these players. And I'm sure he's trying to fix that.

Cal needed to go.

Pope didn’t need to come.

How long are we stuck with this guy?

 

[BlueandWhite13]

Going 11 minutes at home with no FG and no team play is it for me. I think im done with Pope. This is ridiculous

 

[JakeKx]

Yet another **** loss against an inferior team.

this experiment has ran its course quick.

 

[Catlogic1552]

Pope isn’t the one. Obvious.

 

[Aike]

Pope is in over his head. I’ve seen enough. It’s his dream job, but he isn’t up for it.

Ur kidding right? It's every game

Should've let Will Stein draw up some plays. Would've worked better.

A real shame we put on a horsesh*t performance with Stein's homecoming and introduction.

Yeah this sucks so bad Pope definitely aint it. He doesn't command the respect from these players. He needs a bunch of a certain type of player and those types of players only get you so far. He does not have that edge that is needed.

Dude. Why are you stuck on his nutsack? You Mormon or something?

It's almost like he's responsible for that, right?

 

[kywildcat1021979]

22 million and 0-3 against anyone who has a ranking by their name…. We definitely have a major problem in Lexington!

You know what I don't want to hear in the post game? I don't want to hear how freaking beautiful these kids are, or how beautiful the game was, or how we need to figure out this space. Just please, for the love of all that is wholly, don't freaking say that ******** right now.

His offense with this team gets you spanked by UL and MSU. His adjusted offense taking less 3's gets you beat at home to a crap UNC team. He has no answers for the players he recruited here.

 

[dBradish]

Pope couldn't afford to lose his 2nd season only 8 games in, but that's just what he did. With our upcoming schedule, the season is effectively over at this point. After Cal, all coaches have a short leash - time for UK to start coach shopping.

 

[blackcat714]

get rid of Barnfart and hire Bruce Pearl

 

[TTTblue24]

I hate to say it, but pope needed about 5 yrs somewhere else before coming here. I know he works hard and wants to will it to happen but this is bad. He picked guys that are soft and cannot shoot, athletes yes but gotta have basketball players out there with them. Chandler has brought it all season, Aberdeen tries but again he’s just an athlete. We may be looking at an 8 seed come ncaa time, but I can’t get over how we don’t block out and get killed on the boards.

 

[Kjuk24]

Less talent more experience.

 

[Catlogic1552]

Pope is coaching to the precise record he had at BYU and before.
That’s failing here.

 

[Anon1759768907]

It’s because these players are way less talented.

he chose to recruit 3 stars

 

[wkucat88]

Can't wait to hear his Kamala Harris worthy word salad excuse.

Well he brought a group of players that cannot dribble, cannot create their own shot, cannot shoot and have little to no heart. Pope thinks 10 guys like him is what is needed but he forgot he had some damn good players around him on that 96 team.

Based on his lack of signings for next year I’d say as fans it is time to be very concerned.

Yeah man. I hate saying it, but he’s lost. I just don’t think he has the ability right now. Maybe he could get there with more experience, but I doubt it. It’s just not in there; that specific trait you need to be a coach at a place like Kentucky. Of course, if he stays too long, he’ll likely reduce us to a program he can handle. That’s what is at risk.

 

[Crazy4Blue]

Pope, if you want to keep your job you better throw Quaintence. Lowe and Mo out there! We need tough players not sissies. Quaintence is the only legit excuse. The other 2 plays or out the door.

About as accurate of a post as I’ve ever seen on here

Stein is the same as pope. A guy from out west. No real resume to run our program, no sec connections, recruiting will be tough etc.

Hey now, I was sad before, and now you've made sense and left me less optimistic about football.

Everyone is saying this is a homerun hire. Wait, Pitino said the same thing about Pope. fml
