If Mark Pope did not play at the University of Kentucky, he would never be considered for the job. The simple fact that he is a former player is the ONLY reason he got the job...which is absolutely reckless behavior. He has no recruiting class to bring with him, never won a game in the tournament, and has yet to really win anything outside of regular seasons games. This was our AD's 3rd choice!? I will certainly support Pope and hope like hell he sees success early on (for his sake). Feel like this is the most vulnerable UK has been in a very long time.
