I agree. But it’s still two games. I was extremely upset in 2019 when Duke absolutely destroyed us. It felt like the end of the world, but that season clearly wasn’t done. Teams can get better with time.
This video really made me question Pope as a serious coach.
- Thread starter UKortho
- Start date
Popes aged 5 years in a year. It aged Cal 40 yrs to where I was worried the man was getting Alzheimer’s. Had Pitino looking like a damn vampire even though he was coaching elsewhere, that’s how bad we was in his head. Now Cals looking healthy again and even Pitino.
This job really takes a strong person to coach here and to be honest idk. Popes gotta be able to recruit and has to get the right guys here. I thought he done a great job last year but injuries killed us. This year so far with how things are going and no recruits for next year has me worried.

Yes! And the coach’s demeanor after the MSU loss is what finally did it for me.
Is anything unredeemable? Looked like he had a different look about the presser last game, and ultimately if he can get this figured out, wouldn’t that be a good thing?
at least it was a strip tease unlike the poles an hour away but yea now he just has to tease us into winning against appropriate opponents. thus far just an epic failure when against the odds.
Yes. For sure. I made this thread right after the game- so somewhat an emotional thread (like 10-15 others). It was just brought back for whatever reason.
But, I have said before that Pooe’s personality is not consistent with current and past elite coach’s. Someone brought up Pearl and painting his chest. BUT- most everyone knows he is a Fing dog who wants to rip your throat out. He recruits players like that. Pope is just the opposite is all. Hope I am wrong. Now, I am going to bump the other 15 threads that were posted within 10 minutes of Pope’s meltdown
Ahhh. Understood. I’ll respond to what you said last first. If you look around, it’s very very obvious that someone who’s a little TOO pro-Pope has created a bunch of new accounts and posting replies to themselves in multiple threads. That kind of thing is just as trollish in my mind as the eight hundred Anons popping up everywhere with only a negative slant. It wouldn’t shock me if any of that had to do with it. Any true fan is gonna be mad at how things went the other night, so that’s understandable.Yes. For sure. I made this thread right after the game- so somewhat an emotional thread (like 10-15 others).

As for Pope’s demeanor, I’m still in a wait and see on that. Plenty of successful coaches have had different types of personalities and there’s reason to believe Pope is a little different than we know anyway. I hope it all turns around and I have my concerns like anyone else. I just hope we don’t all completely give up just yet, cause there’s still pages left to write.
Me too my friend.
Will you consider cooling off and coming to your senses before doing this again next time? If not then it really doesn't wash as an excuse and you have no legitimate complaint if you are called out for it at a future point. If it is indeed a one off as you do seem to be now regretting it it will be excused and forgotten soon enough.Yes. For sure.

Highly doubt it. Hopefully he won’t **** the bed again.
You need to just learn to accept it when someone throws it back it your face then.
Cool, religious intolerance. That’s a new one on here.
But people were mad so it really just shows how much they care. True fans.
I think Pope should throat punch a ref, we need some 5 stars.

I appreciate him being that passionate about the program and I hope he learns from the losses and makes corrections. Get better as the year goes forward is my hope.
You knew this weak attempt to pile on Pope would come up when times were tough.
