Will Mark Pope Walk Away On His Own Accord?

I haven't lost all hope yet, but we're getting damn close. But I would love to rub it in to some. But if that happens, I'm sure they will turn true blue again
Well, I’m easy to win back. You have an elite defensive roster —- start using it and stop overthinking. Play common sense basketball and stop embarrassing us. Finish the year as an excellent defensive team and an okay offensive one. At least run stuff well enough that we can tell what you are doing, Pope.I haven't lost all hope yet, but we're getting damn close. But I would love to rub it in to some.

When you walk away with $20,000,000+, why would give a s.hit. Pope is a rich man, no matter what he does now.
Any body but Pope, I would say don't really give s.hit, getting that kind of money, but it's hurting him worse then any fan on here.
Now think about that, $20,000,000+, and feeling like s.hit, that's just not right is it

Better than $75,000 breaking your back in a factory and feeling like ****. The man has it made
My point exactly, I was an underground coalminer for 35 years
Hard to feel real sorry for Pope.
I worked graveyard or midnight as you Kentuckians called it for 27 years, so I could coach basketball.

I wish he was the smartest coach in the room but he's been outcoached many times and is stubborn to a fault.
The way I see it he’s got three choices.
1.) Figure this **** out and win some games.
2.) Walk away and keep his good will with the fan base.
3.) Cash checks until he is run out of town and has destroyed every drop of good will he had with the fans while destroying the program he claims to love.

He himself knows he can’t go 9-16 and have the fans support after hand picking the current team. Even Pitinos team the first year of probation was better than that with mostly Kentucky boys. If he truly understands the assignment, he should walk away if he were to go 9-16 or worse.
Smartest Person not coach. And only book smart at that. Rhodes scholar.
He probably has next to zero common sense.
Intelligence comes in many forms. Stupidity does too. I have an uncle that can build various types of machines by assembling parts and taught himself. He can barely read, learned everything himself through guess and check. Average person may not see it —- but I see someone like that and know he’s a hundred times more intelligent than a lot of people who spend all their time learning something someone else studied or experimented with. No second-hand information — he’s self-taught —- I’d never consider myself 10% as intelligent as my uncle. Conversely, Pope may be intelligent in many ways —- it doesn’t prevent him from being just as stupid as me in others.

I have a sneaking suspicion he's going to break his hand one of these games, and is going to shock a player or two when he lays into their *** and tells them to fix their **** or move along. He obviously loves UK, and I have faith.
Where in my post says I thought it would happen? lmao
I simply said, "I don't think he will either".
Some people just post and don't think I swear
Thanks. I was not over excited when he was hired because he was not proven commodity with results to justify the hiring. But since he got the job, my job as a as Kentucky fun is to cheer for him and the team succes.
I have been saying when he gave that introduction speech that he added too much pressure on himself by bringing the title talk. He double it down this year. So the expectations are to the roof.
when he got hired I said that the first 3 years would be construction of a system and Pope learning And the title talk should be made after year 3…..
but in a sense Pope made his own bed …
I still hope that he will win number 9 and multiple titles for Kentucky , I just don t see it happing this year or next.
This right here is the biggest problem of them all!
Some of you folks are living in the past. Money trumps love of program for everyone nowadays. Nobody with a fat contract is gonna just walk away from all that dough.
Hell, getting fired with a bloated buyout has become the new coaching dream. It’s like winning the lottery.
Would you throw away a winning lottery ticket?

He was the master marketer for a program. Always in the spot light and creating buzz. Seemed like after every rough patch we'd have a commitment announcement to ease our pain. Now we only have misery.
I don’t see what his briefs in Christ have to do with quitting but ok.
I don’t think he will quit before year 3. He is a competitor and I don’t know of any coach that would quit after 1 bad year unless they know deep down it can’t be fixed and he has some sort of stress and anxiety overload daily. But I think will believe he can learn from this and fix it for at least the following year.
