Uh this is massively concerning

That clip certainly didn’t help Oweh’s case, but I had already soured on the guy before yesterday’s game.
Brandon Garrison heard you loud and clear lol. In his mind, he was doing just that….very forcefully lol
This guy is such a **** stirrer again it’s a few weeks into the season. Maybe jones should be the coach and show us how it’s done. Guys a typical sports media tool
This laughing on the bench? What a joke you frauds are. Do nothing for UK, trash players, then act like you’re some gatekeeper.
Pope: come on fellas, we are a team, and there’s no I in team. I love you all, let’s just come together and focus on the next play.
Meanwhile Cal: you stupid mfers!!!!!!!
We went from a coach focused on how to change lives and end poverty with no title in vision just his contributions to the nba.
To a coach who played here, loves Kentucky, title in vision with no ideal how to get there. I know I’m overreacting but I just can’t believe how bad of a job Pope is doing. Get it together, get a back bone, reach down and pull a sack out.

You dont have to scream to be a good leader but you have to have a spine , call people out when needed and be willing to hand out harsh penalties. You can do that without breaking stuff and yelling.
You know if he cane out and said he has guys with attitude problems and aren't giving effort and then benched their a** that would get him some breathing room. Go with the guys who play hard and give effort .
You always have to follow the money. Any bad apples on that team IF there are any, are jealous of whatever deal another pllayer(s) got.
For someone to make absolute determenations on Pope, Oweh, etc. in mid November of year 2 after a wildly successful year 1 is pure ignorance. You can't even begin to take that clutter seriously. Complete jackery.
Criticism is warranted on Oweh. Criticism is warranted on Garrison. Last night broke the camel's back for the criticism on Pope. The way he loses consistently is the problem and that warrants criticism.
Criticsm is fine and is totally different than determinations. To say Pope is done here because he's too soft.......definite statements that it's over for him already.....if PURE jackery.
He's 100% fair. I don't get why so many attack MJ for doing what every sports talk show host does.
What is it that makes him different than any other talk show host, college, or pro?
If you had your own show, what would you have been saying during the last 4 years of Cal's tenure? What would you be saying about the state of the program today, after these 2 losses and the issues we have literally seen with our own eyes?
Is Matt supposed to sugar coat what's happening? I'm not listening to a show that does that. Give me the truth, tell me your take and I'll choose what I agree with and disagree with.
If you had your own show, people would say you were a **** stirrer too. You literally cannot win with some people. Nothing he says would ever change your mind. He's stating opinions and facts, that's what sports talk shows are.
As far as sideline demeanor,
Phil Jackson
John Wooden
Jay Wright
Brad Stevens
Dean Smith
That’s just to name a few from the top of my head. Now, some of those guys may be maniacs behind the scenes (Jay Wright certainly was). You can’t judge it based on appearances. Some of those guys I just listed are among the greatest of all time in their professions.
Phil Jackson? I grew up living in Chicagoland and watched the Bulls play a ton. Jackson was psychotic when he got pissed. He was massively intimidating. Same for Dean Smith.
None of the guys on your list are as stoic as Pope. He's in a league all his own in terms of never showing any aggression whatsoever.
We could pick out things from Pope too. My argument isn’t who is or isn’t the most stoic but rather stoicism has no correlation to coaching success. I got your point though and we all just want to see better results.
Well that pisses me off and I’m not even on the team so I can understand the players feeling mad about it. They probably see him everyday and get more and more mad that he’s getting paid for what little he does. They probably feel they’re worth $10M if he’s getting $3M.
Agreed ... not when it seems "automatic"

I’m not big on it but if the guy has proven he can coach then im fine. I absolutely hated the Pope hire when it happened but it was solely due to him not having remotely done enough to get the job. He got it solely because he played here and Barney knew he wouldn’t turn him down. On the flip side I want Jon Sumrall more than anyone in football because he’s won big each place he’s been plus we aren’t getting a huge name in football anyway.
I don’t want to believe it either. I’m thinking, or hoping, the that the actual issue is another player (garrison/lowe/johnson) and Oweh is pissed that it’s allowed to go on.
I don’t know about others but for me personally it goes way beyond the first two weeks of year two. Also, calling last year wildly successful is borderline delusional. Even factoring in having to throw the roster together at the last minute there’s no world in which a double digit loss season and sweet 16 finish is wildly successful at Kentucky.
He could get heated when he had to.
I didn’t say anything about past UK players. Know the facts before you call somebody a fraud
