Are we really going to have to suffer through a 3rd year with Pope?

Anyone who has been watching basketball for a time should be able to tell "he just doesn't have it". It's going to be another long year. I miss Kentucky basketball..

Better be careful. All five Pope Pumpers will be all over you when they see what you said about their boy.

That word actually expressing what Kentucky hoops is becoming under Pope - a complete yawn fest.

no instead we're going to fire all the assistants and sign new ones who will be on a multi year contract we would have to buy out if we fire Pope next year, so we wont do it then either

The problem is if he has like 12 law season next year did year one and gets to a sweet 16 I don’t think they’re gonna fire him. I think that we’re in a hole with this guy because all he has to do is be average if he’s average then maybe he can stay in that job for 5-6-7 years consistently average meaning win a game guess sweet 16. Even in a year four maybe get an elite eight you know where a rough regular season this is the problem with Pope he’s not a bad coach. It seems bad for Kentucky because of his results if he were coaching at most football schools. It. If he’s coaching in Utah or out west, he’s got a shot. If he switches over the women’s basketball, he hasn’t even better shot. He’s never gonna meet the standard UK basketball he will constantly consistently 12 losses tough schedule maybe sweet 16 if you’re at BYU UK man he doesn’t get it. The guy is freaking tone deaf to the in the farthest degree two side and you know Hakeem is.

Back to back 20 win seasons and ncaa tournament appearances. That is success in anyones book. If a coach can do that year after year you hold on to them for dear life.

Yeah, I mean, if he goes to the Sweet 16 his contract gets extended a year. So we’d be looking at extending his contract and firing him at the same time. 😂 Only Mitch.
