Because of common sense.And you know this, how?
A guy from Utah Valley State and BYU with no top recruits and no postseason wins is going to somehow make Kentucky awesome?

Nope. Not supporting a program that isn’t serious about winning.
When has he recruited to UK in the past? New set of circumstancesWho's he landed in his college career? Not to mention zero tourney wins. That's a first.
Great knowing you. Bye now.Nope. Not supporting a program that isn’t serious about winning.
UK is already awesome. You don’t know the futureBecause of common sense.

Nobody outside of UK fans knows wtf Mark Pope is. It is Kenny Payne 2.0 I'm afraid.I will get it a fair shot. Meaning more than 1 year. We will know quickly if he gets the support of the big $$ for UK. NIL will be huge this year if we are to try and win right off the bat. Maybe with Jeff and Mark being teammates we get Reed back?? Maybe not. Maybe we get to keep Big Z. Pope played somewhat like Z. Maybe Pope can talk Adou back into the fold. Then maybe bring in a few good guys. Doubt we want much of his recruiting class.
You and I have disagreed in the past. We are 100% in agreement on this.This is a joke hire. We are hiring someone with zero tournament wins, and isn't an elite recruiter. Nobody would even know Mark if he hadn't played here. I'm not letting Mitch Barnhart turn us into IU. Dude is turning into a ****ing clown.
Yeah that's all that matters.Who cares about winning?Intelligent
Know and respects the tradition
Will put Kentucky first
Garbage describes Ford as a person .One of our own is the dumbest comment ever.Just hire Ford he is also one of our own.Garbage.
Yeah well you know Billy Gillispie had a better resume than Pope. Pope doesn’t even have the experience to justify a job at a power five let alone a blue blood.UK is already awesome. You don’t know the future
Agree,Just meant neither deserved the job just because they played for UK.Garbage describes Ford as a person .
The fact is that you don’t know how the future will unfold.Yeah well you know Billy Gillispie had a better resume than Pope. Pope doesn’t even have the experience to justify a job at a power five let alone a blue blood.
BandwagonNope. Not supporting a program that isn’t serious about winning.
Fair enough. I think he’ll surprise to the upside.Agree,Just meant neither deserved the job just because they played for UK.
So you wanna insult me for saying I’m going to support a guy that used to play here? I can’t pick the coach, I even said he wasn’t on my list. Direct your anger somewhere else it’s not my fault.One of our own is the dumbest comment ever.Just hire Ford he is also one of our own.Garbage.
This is far from a Duke/UNC situation. K gradually gave the reins to Scheyer, and Roy Williams handed the reins slowly to Hubert Davis. It was coordinated and organized. What we’re going to have is the most epic of shitshows of all-time.It's a huge gamble to hire him. Mitch is banking on it being a Duke/UNC type situation when it could very well turn out much worse than that.
So I can just pull a high school coach from Belfry and give him this UK job and you’re going to argue with me about how I don’t know it’s going to be a failure?The fact is that you don’t know how the future will unfold.
I can’t wait for Mitch to retire. He should have been fired a long time agoPope's not qualified for the job. It's as simple as that.
Mitch passed on option 3-10 and went right to the 11th option.
This is insane. Watch Mitch try to massage this one to the fan base.
On this you and I now agree 100%. Time for him to go, he seems totally completely.I can’t wait for Mitch to retire. He should have been fired a long time ago
I’m not happy but I liked pope when he played here and it’s not his fault that Mitch offered him the job. This is a huge gamble and I’m worried about itOn this you and I now agree 100%. Time for him to go, he seems totally completely.
Play in trafficI said from the beginning that I would support whoever we hired and give them a chance. I’m surprised with this hire but considering he’s one of our own, I’m definitely going to support him. I hope you all do the same. If you’re mad at Mitch that’s understandable but don’t take it out on Mark it’s not his fault that the job was offered to him.
