First they need to have a discussion with pope. He needs to go and I feel he will walk away if we have former players be direct with him. Simultaneous though we need to build the heat to get rid of not only Barnhart but his assistants as well. Just like when you fire a coach the new coach brings in who they want. We need the former players and fans to fight this fight to remove Mitch Barnhart. There needs to be a concerted campaign to put him out to pasture in Kansas or wherever he came from. This has to happen. There is too much pride in UK sports to allow Mitch Barnhart to make it in his image. He needs to be gone fast and it will likely require the president too: the BOT should move to clean house.

if everyone continues to kiss Barney’s asss that’s a non starter. The guy believes uk athletics belongs to him. The fact that the swim coach was sexually abusing his players, raping one under Barney’s nose should have taken him out. There is no doubt he would have caught wind of what was happening. It will all come out in court and when he’s still at the helm UK will be raked over the coals.

I’m sickened that Kentuckians have been duped into accepting this trash AD for a quarter century. Do you all hear that! 25 years! Barney is aiming to break the record for longest all time serving AD. That’s why he won’t leave. It makes me sick that UK fans would run a bill curry out of town but leave this awful AD in place. Where is Matt to stand up to build an army for the fans to take Uk athletics back? We need two strong Kentuckians one to run the school and the other the athletics department. We should never hire alum unless they are the best in the business to coach at UK but the AD and prez should be Kentuckians. If pope doesn’t walk away from this job I’m gonna consider him complicit with Barney and imo he is against bbn.
Everyone thought cal would be the civil war. Nope it’s going to get this corrupt AD out of Lexington. He has too much power for too long and thinks he is above reproach. Kentuckians need to put the pressure on this guy. He needs to know he’s not wanted in Lex. Email the university the governor. If you have money take out billboards. Get the media to cover this movement. You see Barney in public let him know how much damage he’s done and he needs to go. This man is not a Kentuckian. This is an outsider who has used his job to consolidate power for him the prez and the yes men who follow him. Kentuckians initially liked him bc he made money. The man has made his $$$$ off UK doing what suits his interests not what suits bbns. That is the problem with hiring a guy who is a non fan in the AD. There is zero trust when things go side ways. This guy has no accountability. He does what he wants and we accept it. Come on BBN !!!quit complaining about JMI and let’s work to clean house !!

He was tipped off about Lars relationship with a player at Toledo in June 2012. He ignored it.

Pretty close. But I did change my mind, and posts, after the last season.

I don't get the mob mentality. No wonder coaches are avoiding us. Recruits don't want to go into a situation where the head coach might not be there.

Yeah I know man. You have some people who complain about people who call out the BS. It’s ok. It doesn’t change that Barney needs to go. No sugar coating anything but an AD who hires mark pope for his storied basketball program instead of a nate Oates is against Uk. This guy is not only sponging from the university. He is working against it! He is not bringing in the best coaches. And I don’t want to hear “boo hoo nate Oates wouldn’t come”. That’s horse hockey. If you put together a strong group to hire and strongly pursue him you’ll land him. Instead you go for Scott Drew. He knew it was a terrible fit. Good for him and thanks to God. And then mark pope. This is not an ad serious about winning folks! These zombie like fans tell us we have to accept this. No we don’t! The pressure that’s on pope making him look like he’s sleep deprived needs to go where the accountability belongs. To Mitch Barnhart. He’s gotta go!

Nobody wants to play in Boston because of the racist fans. Nobody wants to manage the yankees because the expectations. Nobody would ever coach the Dallas Cowboys.

Nate Oats was made aware that he was a top target for the Kentucky job and removed his name from consideration. Put down the torch and Research a little. Nobody who is already successful at a top program wants to deal with the pressure this angry mob brings.

Oh goody. The self righteous Woody appears. I was born in Cynthiana and have always been a Cat fan. I did grow up in Ohio and i am a Buckeye football fan. But always a Kentucky basketball fan, like I was raised. Save your usual malarkey. You opinion means less than nothing to me.

Oh goody? Hahahaha idc where you were born I just know you have no business lecturing UK fans when you are apart of one of the toughest fan bases in sports. You never have anything good to say. Most of you Ohio guys don’t. Go to their board and raise hell cry baby

Believing that Nate wouldn't leave Alabama for Kentucky is all I need to know about you. The only reason he isn't here is that we have an actual idiot for AD who won't even give someone a call if they held a BBQ after the quiet period or if they played a player who was being investigated for something. But thank god we got the Mormon guy that played here.

How an Ohio state fan can try to lecture Kentucky basketball fans is hilarious. They were ready to fire one of the best coaches in college football because of losing to Michigan last year. They raise all kinds of hell when they lose games up there too. Kentucky fans aren’t half as bad as they are

as a fan of both i can speak on this, im also more intense with uk bball than osu fb, but 100% without a DOUBT uk bball fans are worse, ive seen the writing on the wall under pope the second he got hired and i didnt like it, so when i come on here and say stuff its not to drag anyone down, i just want to get back to the top again, running oht the best players, with the best coach, best athletes, best everything, i hate hearing our fanbases making excuses for mediocrity
