That Pope tries to maneuver away from questions about this team and big losses and recruiting busts by always talking about his playing days and when they won a championship. That was awesome when he was winning but now that we are the laughing stock of the SEC and 0 recruits not even a 2 star lol but I don't give a crap about his past in the famous words of Al Davis JUST WIN BABY...
On his coaches show I feel like he brings players on the show to shorten the questions from the Fans..
Just interested in what everyone's opinion is.

I’m getting concerned with the verbal attacks on Mark Pope. Our fanbase is bringing up the fact that he is Mormon. What are we doing!!! Lance on Locked on Kentucky called him a goody two shoes. Do we want a coach that cheats? I believe the man can coach. You can’t tell me that at this point in the season these Prima Donna players don’t know the offense and the defense. They look to be deliberately sabotaging the program and their coach, but yet our answer to that is fire the coach. We bring up recruiting. We don’t know everything going on there. JMI might be playing a huge roll there. We been in the top five for a lot of players. It wouldn’t surprise me if Pope steps down after this year. We’ve put a ton of pressure on him. Who in the world would want to coach at Kentucky. We have run off Calipari and probably Pope. I’ve heard many commentators call BBN unrealistic. Relax guys. Give Pope a chance to correct his mistakes. Everybody loved this team preseason.

Is he scared of the Basketball Bennies' insights so he conspired with former players to avoid them OR is he just a fan of the tradition and thinks at least some fans, myself among them, like hearing from players from prior teams? Who's to say which is more plausible? So difficult to know!On his coaches show I feel like he brings players on the show to shorten the questions from the Fans..

SiiscoTTV said:I'm sorry, and I and not meaning to be mean-spirited, but nothing about this team says well-coached. Collin has been coming under screens all year on good shooters. When we played Ole Miss, we tried constantly to force the ball to Malachi on the block and he either turned it over, missed a layup or got his shot blocked. We dribble, dribble, dribble way too much. We badly miss assignments on defense. At some point, the coach needs to take responsibility. Sit them on the bench, rip their ass, run the crap out of them in practice. You just can't keep saying things are beautiful or unacceptable and we will learn from this.I’m getting concerned with the verbal attacks on Mark Pope.

I’ll defend Tubby to the death. It was time for him to move on when he did (and he did everything exactly the right way unlike his predecessor and his 2 immediate successors). 2003-2005 he had elite teams. They didn’t get the job done. But those squads were absolutely one of the best 5 when the regular season ended. That’s typically what we look for.From the opening minute of the introductory press conference, he's absolutely manipulated this fan base. Before I continue, let me say that this isnt unique to him.
