Cal was a great feel good guy, raised millions for charity, kissed hands and shook babies.I'm satisfied with Pope. At the very least, he's a great feel-good guy. I refuse to believe that any bright guy that played for Pitino can't coach. And, with recent developments, you get Pitino being invested in Pope's success at U.K. That's as close as we could get to having Pitino's coaching chops without the baggage !
And if BBN isn't willing to get solidly behind Mark Pope for the next 2-3 years ... well, then ... there ain't much to BBN after all.
Preach it man. Give any coach the resources UK has, and a fan base like no other, and for all the negativity what might happen is a monster created.I'm satisfied with Pope.

He’s not getting fired. Settle down. Get behind the train or get off.Fire Mitch. The women's coach had a better resume. It might work out, but you don't make this hire for Kentucky mens basketball.
It’s not a train, it’s like a Nashville bar cycle truck, where the people drinking power it by kicking their legs.He’s not getting fired. Settle down. Get behind the train or get off.
