I guess I still don't understand why Mark being a Mormon is a big hurdle for any school looking to hire him. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, and religion. I believe that came about because of President Kennedy. He was Catholic and many people didn't want him elected because they were afraid he would be more loyal to the Pope than the United States. People were ignorant back then. Mark's religion should not matter. So why is it a big deal?
And something else to think about here. Of course I, along with most on here, think the University of Kentucky is the absolute best school there is. However, coaches out there may hesitate to take the job for whatever reason. Could be the pressure, the fans(🤪), the area, etc. Money may not make a difference. Each person has their own personal reasons for taking or NOT taking a particular job. We just assume, naturally, that most coaches are dying to come to Kentucky. That may be true or not.
And by the way, I didn't write this because I am a big Mark Pope supporter. I'm not. But he shouldn't be written off because of his religion...his post season success, or lack of...yes. But not religion. If someone is against someone because of their religion (when they haven't done anything to cause it), then I am truly disgusted.
I am Baptist, by the way. Hope that doesn't piss anyone off. Sorry, but things like this REALLY get me worked up.
