What if I told you Mark Pope is older than Cal was when we hired Cal? He’s not “young”. He’s just INEXPERIENCED. At least for this job. Again, no way in hell he’s even considered for this job had he not played here. And that’s unfortunate.I’m going to give him a fair shot. He wasn’t even on my list of coaches I wanted to get an offer, but he’s who we got and maybe we got a young coach before he hit his stride. Let’s see who he hires as assistants, if the Crafts maintain their pledge, and what kinda guys he recruits before passing judgement.
We either got a hot up and comer before he got hot, or we got a BCG level hire and he and Mitch will be out of here in 2-4 years. Either way, it’ll be fine and supporting him will only help his odds. Pope has done nothing wrong and deserves our support and so I will give it.
Are you still beating your wife? Same type of question.Well, yes or no.
For the most part, they all seem to have one thing in common. Coincidence?13 No votes so far.
They haven't actually posted in the thread.Strangely, they all seem to have one thing in common.
Coach Pope will have a fire in his belly. He hasn't coached at a blue blood and hasn't had the UK brand to recruit with. He will be fine.I believe that is the way it should be. This dude was a former player who won us a Natty. He should be respected and cheered at the very least. He is from a time where players really cared about the front of the jersey.
Many in the threads are pussing out and won't vote, yet they are bashing Pope.They haven't actually posted in the thread.
They need to explain why they don't support the new UK coach before he's done anything.
I didn’t think Cal was old either. Like I told the other poster, age is relative and compared to other top tier programs he’s on the younger end.What if I told you Mark Pope is older than Cal was when we hired Cal? He’s not “young”. He’s just INEXPERIENCED. At least for this job. Again, no way in hell he’s even considered for this job had he not played here. And that’s unfortunate.
All that said, of course BBN will support him. Or at least they will root for the Cats like always. Can I still hope the board comes to their senses and votes no and then turns around and fires Mitch? Because that’s where I’m at currently.
You're either trolling or need to have some introspection.
Kind of like the US Presidency.Pope came up on the radar pretty fast, wasn’t what I was expecting but I’ll give my support. The days of legacy coaches are done. Schools are now having to go for younger candidates.
